Morphology
The meaning 'a kitchen appliance for cooking food' is directly derivable from combining 'cooking' (the process of preparing food) with 'stove' (a cooking appliance). This noun+noun compounding is a transparent, descriptive pattern common in English and many other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Cooking stove comes from the simple image of a stove as a heated box or metal surface where people keep a fire, and cooking which means 'to cook' or prepare food. So a cooking stove is literally a heated thing used 'to cook' meals, and that is why it means the kitchen appliance for making food.
