Can I Light a Gas Oven Without Electricity? The surface answer is no, you cannot light a gas oven manually without electricity. The safety features prevent this. There must be enough electricity flowing through the ignitor coil (around 400-watts) for the gas to kick on and ignite.

Although the burners on an electric-ignition gas stove may be lit by hand, the cooking flame inside the oven works differently on models from the 1990s and newer. As a safety feature, these require electricity to light and cannot be lit by hand — so skip the oven and cook on the stove burners instead until the power returns.
