This feature was designed for use on the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays. The Sabbath Mode feature makes it possible
for observant Jews to refrigerate and freeze food during the duration of the holiday. When set, the Sabbath Mode
feature will override typical reactions to actions in your refrigerator.

While in Sabbath Mode your refrigerator will still operate normally, but the refrigerator will not respond to your actions.
The fan may or may not be running when the door is opened; however, this is not a result of your actions. The fan will
operate at random times.

ABOUT THE SABBATH MODE

refrigerator and freezer.

Express Chill displays will not be lit. The touch pad
