Hi everyone. In the interest of making my household more resilient in case of power failure, I'm trying to get the gas burners on my Kitchenaid range to function without electricity.

I gather that there is a solenoid in there that turns off the gas when the electricity is out.

What is the rationale here? Is this a safety feature somehow? Is there any way to circumvent this feature?
