number of hours that your unit has been 
without power up to a maximum of 50 hrs. 
An alarm will sound until the condition is 
acknowledged by pressing the set button 
or any other button on the control panel.

Door Ajar

If your door has been left open for more 

than 5 minutes, the control panel will 

display “door ajar” and will sound an 

alarm until the door has been closed or 

any button is pressed on the control panel. 

If a button on the control panel has been 

pressed but the door has not been closed, 

“door ajar” will continue to be displayed 

on the control panel until the door has 

been closed.

The unit stays in Sabbath mode after 

a power failure recovery. It must be 

deactivated with the buttons on the 

control panel.

Sabbath Mode

The Sabbath mode is a feature that 

disables portions of the appliance and its 

controls in accordance with observance of 

the weekly Sabbath and religious holidays 

within the Orthodox Jewish community.
To turn Sabbath mode on, simultaneously 

press and hold the “options” button and 

^

” button for 5 seconds, after which “Sb” 

will be displayed on the control panel 

indicating that the unit is in Sabbath mode. 

To exit Sabbath mode, press and hold 

the “options” button and “

^

” button for 5 

seconds, after which the display will return 

to displaying the set point of the unit.
In the Sabbath mode, the High Temp 

alarm is active for health reasons. For 

example, if the door is left ajar, the High 

Temp alarm is activated. The appliance 

will function normally, without any 

violation of the Sabbath/holidays, once 

the door is closed. The High Temp alarm is 

permitted when the cabinet temperature 

is outside the safe zone for 20 minutes. 

The alarm silences itself after 10 minutes, 

while the High Temp icon stays lit until the 

Sabbath mode is exited.

of proper usage and a complete

feature, please visit the web at

NOTE

While in Sabbath mode, neither the 

lights nor the control panel will work until 

Sabbath mode has been deactivated.
