Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward noun phrase where 'gas' specifies the type of 'range' (stove), so the overall meaning—a stove that uses gas—is directly derivable from the constituents. This compositional modifier + head pattern is common cross-linguistically (e.g., 'gas stove'), making it readily understandable to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Gas range is made of gas and range: a 'range' was an old word for a large cooking stove with burners and an oven, so a gas range is a stove that 'uses gas' for cooking. That's why it means a cooking stove with gas burners and an oven.
