Pretty hard to buy one that can be lit without electric. Most all use a
hot surface igniter, not a spark like the burners. I know you cannot
light a Hotpoint, Frigidaire, GE, Maytag and others.

Don't take my word, Google it
What About Lighting a Gas Oven During a Power Outage?
While it is possible to light a cooktop during an outage, you're
unfortunately out of luck when it comes to lighting the oven itself.
Most of today's models require electricity to operate and cannot be
manually ignited, so your baking will just have to wait until the power
comes back..
