Sabbath Mode

Electrical Engineering

Sabbath mode, also called Shabbos mode or Shabbat mode, is a feature built into some modern ovens, dishwashers, refrigerators and other home appliances that changes their everyday operation so the appliance can still be used, within certain constraints, by Shabbat observant Jews during Shabbat and Jewish holidays without violating the rules of Halakha, Jewish religious law.

Quote, In Field: Electrical Engineering, Lead section
The mode usually overrides the usual, everyday operation of the electrical appliance and makes the operation of the appliance comply with the rules of Halakha (Jewish law).
