If you are having problems determining the decade (actually 12 years) the appliance was manufactured in and you have the model number, download the owner's manual and other literature from the manufacturer's website (see link below). Look for the year and month the manual was printed. Manuals, datasheets, and installation instructions are often updated so the updated manual or instructions may have been printed a few years after the appliance was manufactured.
