Electrical – rewire the cooker so I can use the gas oven without it being connected to the mains

electrical

I'm planning on getting a freestanding gas cooker (LEISURE Cuisinemaster CS60GVK) (all gas hobs/oven/grill etc) but it uses a normal plug for the ignition and led programmer. I know I can rewire the ignition to run off a 12v spark generator (that should be straight forward) but reading through the manual it says I can't switch the oven on if the time isn't set on the led programmer, does this mean that if I don't have the programmer on, the oven won't work? I don't know why this would be but wanted to ask if any one knows of why this is and how or if I can bypass this as I don't need the programmer.

In these ovens the programmer (often called the "timer") contains the circuitry which controls the oven temperature. I don't think you can use the oven without a functioning programmer.

You would need an "off-the-grid" range and oven: https://bensdiscountsupply.com/premier-bak100tp-20-battery-ignition-gas-range-biscuit-with-black-trim/
