Quite simple, it was *you* who posted something asinine and are now trying to cover your ass. Indirection works on dummies but it ain't cutting it here.
You're full of shit. Radiation is proportional to temperature. The burner is far hotter than the back of the oven. Good grief, I knew you were illiterate (you proved it in this thread) but I thought you were some sort of engineer. Guess not.
Just stating the facts. You DO act like one.
You made up the entire bullshit about temperature from the paragraph about wiring insulation ratings and wire ampacity. Keep up the indirection, I'm laughing harder with every post.
The old oven has been there for at least 12 years.
old oven did not have these. That is no problem. I wonder though if metal studs would be better to use as runners becasue they are non combustable?

Even if you find something asinine, it doens't equal lying. They are completely different things. Look it up in the dictionary.
Again, how dumb are you? The metal backing of the oven directly behind the oven cavity is going to be the hottest. It's way hotter than the upper 4" or so where the electronics and display are located because there are no heating elements there. In fact there is usually a fan that helps keep that section cool.
Now under what novel physics theory does the metal behind that upper electronics section radiate the same heat as the hotter metal area directly behind the oven?
Once again, I didn't make anything up. And one more time, I'm not the first person in this thread to bring up temperature as a possible reason for the manufacurer specifying that the electric box be either 5" min below the bottom of the oven, or else up in the top 4", ie behind the cooler electronics section. And yeah, I referenced the part in the install manual where they talk about the insulation and temperature issue in the wires coming from the oven.
Here's a simple question for you. What's the max temp rating for Romex today? And is it so high that it's not within the range of what might temp the area directly behind an oven might get to? What was the max temp rating of wire used to connect ovens
50 years ago, that someone could still be using with a new oven today? I say it's entirely possible that the above considerations were responsible for the box mounting locations. Do I know for sure? No and I never said I did.
You of course have no alternate possible explanation, after I quickly smashed the idiotic "interference" proposal. Interference? When they say it has to be 5" min below the bottom of the oven? If it's even 1/32" below the oven there can be no interference.

I don't think a shallow box will meet the min volume for the given wires.
