My sister just installed a 1 year old drop in electric range for me with a self-cleaning oven. I do have the owner's and installation manual and know she did it "according to Hoyle" but the drop-in range I replaced was installed when the house was built, in 1968. I don't even know if they had self-cleaning ranges then.

Until I read this thread it did not occur to me to be concerned. Still not sure I need to be, but just in case....any concerns about installation into a spot designed for a drop-in 44 years ago?
