Where the data plate is on a range

Open the oven door or the storage drawer and look on the frame; slide-in ranges often carry it under the cooktop lip.

General guidance, not brand-specific: the owner's manual or the installer can point to the exact spot. See the data plate guide.

For scale only: the InterNACHI Standard Estimated Life Expectancy Chart for Homes lists Electric Range / Gas Range at 13 to 15 / 15 to 17 years of expected service (nachi.org). That chart is a guideline, not a prediction for your unit.

What we could not confirm

• The era not stated format is documented but not decodable here: example 201011 does not decode with the derived engine.
• Serial (0789107063 R) is not decoded; the plate carries a 'PRODUCTION YEAR' field as YYYYMM (201011 = Nov 2010). panasonic.com/us returns 403 to curl; shop.panasonic.com/pages/product-registration = 200 (registration only).
