Use a grill lighter or long match to light the pilot light valve at the bottom of the oven. Some ovens are designed to be manually lit at each use. In this case, slowly turn the temperature knob while holding the flame to the pilot light valve. Close the oven door after the pilot light ignites.
Yes, as long as gas is coming to the burner you can light it manually. Don't forget that you have turned the gas on though.
Yes it's fine. If you have the igniter out of the circuit no gas will come out in that oven even if you accidentally turned it on.
Yes, on almost all ovens the lamp is not essential to the correct operation of the appliance. Just remember to keep a torch ( not a flashing one ) handy at all times.
No, the valve that turns on the gas to the oven it electronic also and for safety reasons it will not allow you to light it manually, the oven can only be lit with electricity only.

During a power outage, gas can flow to the burner but the burner can't make that spark to light it. However, you can still light the surface burner manually. Hold a lighted match next to the burner and then turn the knob to the "Lo" position to light it.
6. Using Oven Without Light. You may still be able to use the oven without the bulb. If the bulb is burnt out or not working, the oven may be used as usual; however, if the bulb is broken or shattered, do not use the oven because that is dangerous.
In fact, modern ovens are impossible to ignite unless electricity is available; therefore, you will have to make do with the cooktop.
Most ovens will cook your food perfectly without a working light, however cooking blind will only make your life that little bit more of a challenge.
Push in and hold the oven knob and turn it to the “ignite” setting. Push in the oven knob with one hand so you can turn it and keep holding it until you have lit the pilot light. Turn it to the left to the “ignite” symbol or the first temperature setting.
The igniter is the key component of a gas oven. If you have a faulty igniter, many of the other components will not work and the oven will not turn on.
THE LIGHT BULB ITSELF
The correct wattage, connectors, and dimensions are all crucial, as well as a specific designation that a bulb is rated for appliance use. A bulb that isn't rated for oven use will not last long in an oven!
Gas stoves are of two types based on the ignition- manual and auto. Manual needs a lighter or matchbox while automatic just has to be ignited by a knob.
You can't use the oven during a power outage. In gas ovens, the "glo-bar" igniter and gas valve require power to open. This is why they can't be lit with a match. If the oven is on during a power outage, it will turn off and there will not be gas flowing.
Will the oven still work without the light? Technically, yes your oven should still get hot if your light has stopped working. However, it will make your life considerably more difficult. You won't be able to identify whether or not your appliance is on, and you won't be able to tell when your food is cooked as easily!
Anything that is filament-based like an incandescent or halogen bulb, then when it fails, no power is used. However, on LED or CFL bulbs, it may or may not continue to use power, although probably very little, if it no longer works. The electronics inside may continue to pull a small amount of power.
Locate the pilot light hole at the bottom of the oven. Use a long match or a lighter with a long nozzle to reach the pilot hole. Light the long match or lighter and hold the flame to the pilot hole. Wait for the oven to light.
Gas ranges and cooktops typically use electronic igniters instead of standing pilots. Depending on the model, you may be able to manually light your cooktop burner during a power outage, however, you won't be able to use your gas oven. Check your owner's manual to be sure and for more detailed instructions.
