   What is "it"?

   Circuit breakers must, usually, be "readily accessible".   
      
   NEC definition   
   "Accessible (as applied to wiring methods [j-boxes]). Capable of being   
   removed or exposed without damaging the building structure of finish or   
   not permanently closed in by the structure of finish of the building."   
      
   It is common to have a j-box behind the oven where the oven is removed   
   (while attached by the supply cable) to access the j-box. It is in the   
   installation instructions provided.   
      
      
   This is another post by the OP that was also posted to alt.home.repair,   
   where it has received many answers. Including that a j-box behind the   
   oven is "accessible" (defined above).
