Morphology
The compound meaning is directly and transparently built from 'electric' (powered by electricity) modifying 'oven' (a cooking appliance), so a learner who knows both words can infer it is an oven that uses electricity. This compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically and follows straightforward adjective + noun semantics, making it immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Electric oven is a simple compound: electric means 'using electricity' and oven is the hot box for baking food. When houses got electricity, people used it to heat ovens, so electric oven came to mean 'an oven powered by electricity'.
