Yep, side opening. GREAT idea. Wise someone, who made appliances that mere mortals could afford, would pick up the idea. |

Can you even open the doors enough to remove the shelves with the door knob where it is? |

Models: OAC21S with Rotisserie OAC21G with Roast Guard OAC21R with Rotisserie & Roast Guard These were the model numbers in 1965 so there might be letter changes to reflect different years. |

Tom, I was wondering the same when I saw the picture! I guess in the worst case, you can open the door before you open the oven's door! As long as the entrance door isn't the kind that closes by itself (which is often required in large buildings).
If it would have been a regular bottom-hinged door, it would probably have been worse and might have required to fully open the entrance door before opening the upper oven's door! |

The brochure says the oven could be installed with the doors opening in either direction. Perhaps they can be changed. |

They should have used a 3" filler to the right of the oven cabinet, so the oven door would clear the doorknob. |
