The label's location can vary depending on the type and brand of your oven or range, but here are some common places to look:
Inside the Oven Door: Open the oven door and check on the door frame or the edges where the door meets the oven. The label is often placed here to avoid exposure to heat.
On the Oven Frame: With the door open, look on the frame of the oven itself, particularly on the sides. This could be where the door would hide the label when closed.
Behind the Drawer: If your oven or range has a bottom drawer for storage or a broiler, pull out the drawer and look for the label on the frame behind where the drawer slides in.
Back of the Oven/Range: If it's safe and possible to do so, move the unit away from the wall to check the backside. This is more common for freestanding ranges.
Under the Cooktop: For ranges, especially those with a lift-up cooktop, the label may be located underneath the cooktop. Ensure the cooktop is cool and lift gently according to the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid damage.
On the Side Panels: Less commonly, but still possible, is finding the label on the outer sides of the oven or range, usually towards the front or back.
Here is an example of what a label might look like:
