Default how to safely remove a fitted gas oven ?

Usually yes. If you think about it, without a flexible hose it would
be almost impossible to connect up otherwise since once the unit is in
place, you cant get to the connection.

ah, just a thought... might the pipe work have perished (assume the
cheapest choices will have been made - this was fitted for show not
longevity) - would it be a good idea to turn the gas off first (slightly
inconvenient)?


Its unlikely. The biggest pain is when the bayonet socket has not been
well supported. Then it is harder to undo the hose (which requires a
reasonable push toward the socket as you turn the locking ring) one
handed while supporting the oven in the other.
