I have a Rangemaster 550 oven which has a hinged glass top.
If the top is up with one of the rings burning and you put the lid down, the gas goes out, but if you lift the lid the gas starts again. According to the gas board man, who was in the house the other day, it now needs replacing as the current regulation say the gas should not come back on. It has always been like that and the manual says that is how it is supposed to work.
Theoretically, If I removed the glass top and hinge, would a gas man coming into the house to do work, say the cooker would need replacing.
