Morphology
The meaning 'a stove used in the kitchen for cooking' is directly and transparently built from 'kitchen' (room for preparing food) + 'stove' (cooking appliance). This simple noun–noun compound follows a common compositional pattern found cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Kitchen stove is a literal compound name: kitchen names the place and stove is the metal box that makes heat for 'cooking'. So it means 'a stove used for cooking food in the kitchen'.
