Moderator reply: some time after 1979
I don't know, but thanks for the photo and question.
We do know that the unit was made in or after 1979 thanks to that yellow EnergyGuide sticker, and to the U.S. Federal Register record of Federal Trade Commission rules, last updated 10.30.2019 and quoted below:
The Commission issued the Energy Labeling Rule (“Rule”) in 1979,[1] pursuant to the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (“EPCA”).[2]
The Rule requires energy labeling for major home appliances and other consumer products to help consumers compare competing models. - Document Citation: 84 FR 58026 Page: 58026-58045 (20 pages)
