It has come to our attention that GE mistakenly removed a critical piece of information from some STAR-K certified oven manuals. In the following GE, Hotpoint and Crosley models, Sabbath Mode does NOT control the light inside the oven. The light WILL turn on if you open the oven even when in Sabbath Mode. Owners of these ovens should either leave the light on over the duration of Shabbos/Yom Tov or simply loosen the lightbulb ahead of time. List of affected models is here. Corrective action is being taken.
