Sub-Zero Sabbath Mode and Star-K Information
About Sub-Zero Sabbath Mode
Most Sub-Zero and Wolf products with electronic control panels have a Sabbath Mode feature when sold.
Sabbath Mode turns off the ice maker system, and door alarm and prevents them from turning on again while the unit is in Sabbath Mode.
- Depending on model, the interior lights turn off, or go into a constant dim setting for the Sabbath mode.
- Refer to the model specific Sabbath Mode links below for more information.
Star-K compliance requires strict adherence to Star-K guidelines. Some products may require a Sabbath Mode kit to make the product Star-K compliant.
- In the event of a power failure, when power returns, the unit will return to this mode.
- Visit Star-K Online for the most up-to-date listing of Star-K compliant appliances and requirements to meet Star-K standards.
