Sabbath Mode
The Sabbath Mode sets the oven to remain on in a Bake setting 
until turned off. A Timed Bake can also be set to keep the oven on 
for only part of the Sabbath. The Oven Control Lockout Feature (if 
present) will be disabled during the Sabbath Mode. After the 
Sabbath Mode is set no tones will sound, the display will not show 
the temperature, the Kitchen Timer Mode will be canceled (if active) 
and only the following pads will function:
“+” or “-” keypads
Cancel
When the oven door is opened or closed, the oven light will not turn 
on or off and the heating elements will not turn on or off 
immediately.
When power is restored after a power failure, the oven will return to 
Sabbath Mode and remain Sabbath compliant with the bake 
elements off until the Cancel keypad is pressed.
Pressing the Cancel keypad at any time returns the oven to the 
normal cooking mode (not Sabbath Mode compliant). 
Before entering the Sabbath Mode, it must be decided if the oven 
light is to be on or off for the entire Sabbath Mode period. If the 
light is on when entering Sabbath Mode, it will remain on for the 
entire time Sabbath Mode is in use. If the light is off when entering 
Sabbath Mode, it will remain off for the entire time Sabbath Mode is 
in use. Opening the oven door or pressing the Oven Light keypad 
will not affect the oven light once Sabbath Mode has been entered.
If the oven has the Convection Bake feature, the oven light is 
controlled by a separate Oven Light switch on the console. If the 
oven light is on when entering the Sabbath Mode, it will remain on 
for the entire time Sabbath Mode is in use. For the oven light to be 
off during the Sabbath Mode, the light bulb must be removed from 
the oven prior to entering the Sabbath Mode. Not performing these 
steps will cause the oven light to turn on when the oven door is 
opened, resulting in the oven being not Sabbath compliant.
On the Holiday, the oven temperature can be changed once the 
oven is in Sabbath Mode by pressing the “+” or “-” keypads. The 
oven temperature will change 25°F (14°C) each time the keypad is 
pressed. The display will not change, and there will be no sounds 
during this adjustment.

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom 
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.
For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil 
because air must be able to move freely.
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before 
or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
