I am about to move house where in the kitchen is a gas cooker, with
a plug connected to the electricity supply. I am wondering what this
does. If does not need mains connection, this will be great as it
frees up the only power point in the kitchen! My guess is that it
maybe a charging circuit for the ignitor battery? Your help would be
appreciated.

I would think you are right. I have a lead for the hob and a lead
for the oven. Though if it runs a charger or a just a transformer
psu I don't know, but with 10 sockets in the kitchen it's not a
problem for me.



It's plug in to the electric to stop you buying batteries to make the
spark work and the light in the oven come on. :-))

I understand that BW, but does it recharge batteries or is it a power supply
for a spark generator. I would think the latter rather than the former given
that keeping a rechargeable battery continously topped up is not good for
the battery.
