“My outlet is far from oven. Does this need electricity to operate? If so can it be lit w/ match manually? Though doing this would be a pain, how safe is running a long power cord while using oven & ranges at the same time? Blow up a fuse? (old building).”

This question is for: GE - 5.0 Cu. Ft. Self-Cleaning Freestanding Gas Range - Stainless Steel

Hi NadiaNYC- The range requires a 120 volt, 15 amp circuit. It is factory-equipped with a 4 ft. power cord. It has an electronic ignition system. See BENEFIT OF AUTOMATIC PILOTLESS IGNITION ON GAS RANGES: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=19222 - In the case of a power outage, you can light the surface burners with a match. However, the oven cannot be lit without power. We also offer Hotpoint® 30" Free-Standing Gas Range with Cordless Battery Ignition RGBS200DMWW. Battery powered ignition safely and conveniently lights the burners without the need for electrical outlet. Keep in touch! SUE@GEA
