Sabbath Mode: Refrigerators
What is Sabbath mode in Refrigerators?
Sabbath mode is a feature that enables a customer to comply with the rules
of the Jewish Sabbath, which is generally from sundown on Friday to
sundown on Saturday, though there are other holy days during the year when
these rules may also apply. When the refrigerator is in Sabbath mode, the
buttons, the display, and the internal lights do not function. The refrigerator
and freezer, however, continue to cool.

Sabbath Mode: Ranges & Wall Ovens
What is Sabbath mode in Ranges?
The Sabbath mode in ranges is only for use in baking mode. It sets the oven so
that it remains on continuously. The oven temperature may be changed after
setting the Sabbath feature; the display, however, will not change and tones
will not sound when a change occurs.
Options like Cooking Time and Delay Start can be set prior to activating the
Sabbath mode. Once the oven is properly set for baking with the Sabbath
feature active, the oven will remain on continuously until cancelled,
overriding the factory default 12-hour energy saving feature.
Oven Light
If you need the oven light on during the Sabbath, press the OVEN LIGHT pad
before activating the Sabbath mode. Once the oven light is turned on and the
Sabbath feature is activated, the oven light will remain on until the Sabbath
feature is turned off. If the oven light needs to be off, be sure to turn the oven
light off before activating the Sabbath feature.
Turning the oven off
You can turn the oven off at any time by pressing OVEN OFF. This will turn
only the oven off. If you wish to deactivate Sabbath mode, repeat the steps
you followed to activate it.
