Setting the Sabbath feature (for use on the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays)
For further assistance, guidelines for proper usage and a complete list of models with the Sabbath feature, please visit the web at
This appliance provides special settings for use when observing the Jewish Sabbath/Holidays. Sabbath mode disables all audible tones or visual display changes on the oven control. Bake heating is the only cooking feature available while in the Sabbath mode. Oven controls are locked during Sabbath mode.
You must first set the Bake feature and temperature(s) needed for the oven, and the Cook Time and Delay Start options (if needed). 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 one 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 can- cellation.
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 interior oven lights when the oven door is opened or closed.
It is recommended that any oven temperature modification made within an active Sabbath mode be followed with 2 presses of the START key. This will insure the oven remains on even if an attempt is made to set the oven temperature outside of its temperature range. If the oven temperature is set outside of the temperature range, the oven will default to the nearest available temperature. Try to set the desired oven temperature again.
Food poisoning hazard. Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refriger- ator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when finished cooking.
