स्टोव


Explanation:
स्टोव is the correct translation for this term because kerosene stove is the one that works with kerosene oil not with gas or electricity.

You can not use the word स्टोव for gas or electric cooker, as stove is something on which u prepare food something like cooking range, but cooker is a kind of vessel in which the food is prepared.
