38Setting Oven Controls
Sabbath mode
This appliance provides special settings for use when observing the Jewish Sabbath/Holidays. This mode will turn off all audible tones or visual display changes normally provided by the oven control. BAKE andcooktop heating are the only cooking features available while in the Sabbath mode.
You must first set theBAKE feature and temperature(s) needed for the upper/lower oven(s), the COOK TIME option if needed and any cooktop power levels before setting the Sabbath mode. Any settings made prior to setting the Sabbath mode will be visible in the displays. The COOK TIME option, if set prior to the Sabbath mode, will give 1 audible alert at the end of COOK TIME.
The Sabbath mode will override the factory preset 12 Hour Energy Saving mode and the appliance will stay on until the cooking features are cancelled. If any of the cooking features are cancelled when the appliance is in the Sabbath mode, no audible or visual indicators will be available to verify the cancellation.
If the oven interior lights are needed, be sure to activate them prior to setting the Sabbath mode. Once the oven light is turned ON and the Sabbath mode is active, the oven light will remain on until the Sabbath mode is turned off and the oven lights are turned off. The oven door will not activate the oven interior lights when the oven door is opened or closed.
It is recommended that any oven temperature change with the Sabbath mode be followed with 2 presses of the START key. This will insure the oven remains ON even if the attempt to set the oven temperature was lower or higher than the oven control can accept. If the oven temperature is set incorrectly, the oven temperature will default to 170°F or 550°F. Try to set the desired oven temperature again.
The cooktop settings may also be changed even after the appliance has been set for the Sabbath mode (Jewish Holidays only).
Should a power failure or interruption occur during the Sabbath/Holidays, the appliance will shut OFF. When power is restored the appliance will not turn back on automatically to the original BAKE feature settings. SF will appear in the control display panel indicating a Sabbath mode failure.- Figs. 1 -
After a power failure, the food may be safely removed from the oven while still in the Sabbath mode.
