If your father has turned the knob to a locked position on a burner and it is constantly on, the burner cannot be turned off and it is important to address this issue as soon as possible to ensure safety. You should turn off the gas supply to the oven by turning off the valve or shut off the circuit breaker.
If you are not comfortable with the gas supply, it is recommended that you contact a qualified gas technician to fix the issue. They will be able to inspect the range and determine the cause of the problem and make the necessary repairs. It may be that the knob needs to be replaced, or the burner itself may need to be repaired or replaced.
It is important to note that, if you smell gas, leave the home immediately and contact the gas company or emergency services.
