The ESEC will display the Sb messages whenever the Sabbath Day feature is active (Fig. 11). When activated, the Sabbath Day Feature works for both the oven and cooktop together. Once the Sabbath Day Feature is active, changes to the heat levels for the cooktop elements will not show in the displays. The cooktop will react slower to heat level changes. To set the Sabbath Day feature see the complete instructions on page 32.
