Turning off old furnace for the summer *quick question*

This old Warm Manning heater is at rare times still producing heat while the knob is turned to a supposed 'off' position (see photo 3). If I turn off the gas supply, via the yellow valve (see photo 2), & that kicks off the pilot light, is it safe until falltime? I'm not planning on touching the exhaust, which is secure...& there's nothing else feeding to or from the unit. Not sure if there's any other precautions i should be concerned about currently. I assume just cutting the gas supply to the unit should be perfectly safe. Thanks friends submitted by /u/Weekend_Panchos [link] [comments]
