Please be aware that there are restrictions in the use of ovens and stoves on the Sabbath and Holidays. If you are unfamiliar with the laws of keeping food warm on the Sabbath or cooking on the Holidays, please call your Rabbi or check our website at www.star-k.org. Please note that when the Holiday and Sabbath coincide, the Sabbath laws prevail. See your owner's manual for instructions on operating the Sabbath mode. Before first use of a new oven be sure to wash the racks and interior of the oven thoroughly with warm water and soap to remove any coating oil.

RANGETOPS:

1. On the Sabbath, a flame may not be initiated, adjusted or turned off.
   
   
2. On the Sabbath, a "blech" should be used to cover the flame in addition to covering the controls. (Cover the knobs with a separate piece of foil. Putting the knobs under the “blech” may damage them.)
   
   
3. On the Holidays, an existing flame may be raised or lowered for cooking requirements. However, a flame may not be initiated or turned completely off. If the power is off to the entire range, a flame may be initiated using an external flame such as a candle or match. Follow the directions in the owner’s manual.
   
   
4. During a power failure, the cooktop will remain on.
   
   

OVENS:

1. On the Sabbath the oven temperature may not be initiated, adjusted or turned off.
   
   
2. On the Sabbath, in lieu of a "blech", the oven controls should be covered. (Be careful not to cover vent openings.)
   
   
3. All food should be placed in the oven before the Sabbath begins, since none may be placed in the oven during the Sabbath.
   
   
4. On the Sabbath, the oven door may only be opened once, all the food removed and then closed. On the Holidays, the oven door may be opened and/or closed at any time as often as desired.
   
   
5. For the Holidays, the oven should be turned on before the Holiday. Once on, the temperature may be adjusted for cooking purposes at any time because the glow plug remains on (even during a power failure)
   
   
6. On the Holidays, the oven can be lit for use with an external flame (e.g. match or candle) provided the power is off to the entire range. Follow the instructions in the owner’s manual. .
   
   
7. These ovens do not have a timed bake feature.
   
   
8. The oven will stay on even during a power failure.
