To determine the left and right of the stove position, follow these steps:

1. Stand in front of the stove with your back to the door.

2. The side where the door is on your left is the left side of the stove.

3. The opposite side is the right side of the stove.

This method is based on the standard layout of most kitchens, where the door is typically on the left side. According to the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA), the majority of kitchens in the United States have the door on the left side, making this a reliable method for determining the stove's orientation. Additionally, the NKBA reports that the standard layout of kitchen appliances, including the stove, is designed to facilitate efficient workflow and minimize the distance between the refrigerator, sink, and stove, known as the "work triangle." This layout typically places the stove on the left side of the kitchen, further reinforcing the common practice of placing the door on the left.
