Description

This lower heat shield protects the range/oven's lower cabinet and nearby components from high temperatures produced during operation. It restores proper heat deflection to help prevent heat damage and maintain safe appliance performance. What it does:

• Deflects and disperses heat away from the lower cabinet and surrounding parts.
• Helps prevent discoloration, warping, or heat-related damage to nearby components.
• Reduces risk of heat transfer that can cause degraded insulation or wiring issues.
• Restores proper clearance and airflow under the oven for safer operation.

What's included:

• One lower heat shield as shown

Install notes:

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before servicing the appliance.
• Handle carefully—metal edges may be sharp; use gloves to avoid cuts.
• Reinstall with the original fasteners and verify proper fit and clearance.
