Electrolux 241978401 User Manual

The Sabbath Mode is a feature that disables portions 
of the refrigerator and its controls in accordance with 
observance of the weekly Sabbath and religious 
holidays within the Orthodox Jewish community.

Sabbath Mode is turned ON and OFF by pressing 
and holding both the outermost 

“-” and “+” indicators 

for five (5) seconds. The display shows “Sb”  while in 
Sabbath mode.

In the Sabbath Mode, the High Temp alarm is active for 

health reasons. If a high temperature alarm 
is activated during this time, for example 
due to a door left ajar, the alarm will sound 
intermittently for about 10 minutes.  The 

alarm will then silence on its own and a red high 
temperature icon will display. The high temp icon will 
continue to display, even if the door is closed, until 
the Sabbath mode is exited and the icon reset. The 
refrigerator will function normally once the door is 
closed, without any violation of the Sabbath/Holidays.

For further assistance, guidelines for proper usage and

While in Sabbath Mode, neither the lights, dispenser, 
nor the control panel will work until Sabbath Mode is 
deactivated.
Refrigerator stays in Sabbath Mode after power 
failure recovery.  It must be deactivated with the 
buttons on the control panel.

While in Sabbath Mode, the Wave-Touch

TM

 model will 

only illuminate the -/+ keys used to turn the Sabbath 
Mode Off.

Although you have entered the Sabbath Mode, the ice
maker will complete the cycle it had already initiated.  
The ice cube compartment will remain cold and new 
ice cubes can be made with standard trays.

The 

Custom Temp

TM

 Drawer should be turned off for the 

Sabbath/Holidays.  Before putting the refrigerator into 
the Sabbath mode, turn the 

Custom Temp

TM

 Drawer off 

by pressing the drawer 

on/off button.  The display will 

show “OFF” and the drawer will turn off.  Then enter the 
Sabbath mode function on the main refrigerator display.  
See Wave-Touch “Sabbath Mode” section.  When in 
Sabbath mode, the display will not illuminate and the 
drawer will remain off.  The drawer can still be used as 
a non-temp controlled drawer in this mode.  When the 
refrigerator is taken out of Sabbath mode, the 

Custom 

Temp

TM

 Drawer will have to be turned back on.

If the 

Custom Temp

TM

 Drawer is not turned off prior to 

putting the unit into Sabbath Mode, it will continue 
to adjust itself to maintain the set point even if the 
display does not illuminate to show that it is still on.
