Not verified

We have not verified this value. It is not a confirmed no or zero. Check the original source or ask the manufacturer if it affects your choice.

No numeric lid-opening envelope was verified in the Americas manual. Page 5 separately requires at least 50 mm (1.97 in) of ventilation on all sides and unobstructed airflow; that spacing is not lid clearance.

Nominal advertised liters are converted to US quarts explicitly; usable space and zone splits require separate checks.

Lid-opening clearance remains unverified. Closed dimensions include handles, but an installation also needs ventilation and cable access.
