If your electric stove doesn't have a power button or switch to turn it off, you can usually turn it off by unplugging it from the power source. Follow these steps to do so safely:

  1. Identify the power source: Locate the plug that connects your electric stove to the power outlet on the wall.

  2. Access the plug: Move the stove away from the wall or countertop to access the power plug. Be careful not to damage the power cord while doing so.

  3. Unplug the stove: Firmly grasp the plug and pull it out of the power outlet. Ensure you pull the plug itself and not the cord, as pulling the cord might damage it.

  4. Verify power is off: Once the plug is removed, the stove should be completely powered off, and all heating elements and indicators should turn off.

  5. Wait for cool down: Before doing anything else with the stove, wait for it to cool down if it was in use before unplugging. Electric stoves can retain residual heat even after being turned off, so exercise caution to avoid burns.

It's important to note that unplugging an electric stove should be a last resort and not a regular method of turning it off. If your stove does not have a power button or switch, there might be an underlying issue with the appliance. In such cases, it's advisable to have the stove inspected by a professional electrician or technician to ensure safe operation.
