jojo, You do not need the services of a qualified engineer to unplug your cooker at the bayonet connection.
just be aware that there will probably be either a safety chain that will need to be unhooked / rehooked ,or maybe a " L " shaped bracket at low level that you guide the cooker over when refitting.
It would be advisable to light one of the hob burners after reconnection, and let it burn for a few seconds. This will clear any small amount of air that may have entered the flexi pipe when disconnected.
Hope this helps.

And remember to check carefully for any leaks with match after you've put it back.

No - just kidding - don't do that. Use soapy water.
