Shabbos Mode and OU Kosher Certified GE Ovens and Shabbos Keeper

Shabbos mode which exists with many oven   appliances only makes certain changes to the oven  function it does turn off the led readout it does   turn off the the light the oven light which is  activated when you open and close the door it   does not have an auto shut off most ovens  will shut off after a number of hours of use   perhaps 12 hours that is deactivated so that the  oven will continue to run through a shabbos or   through a yantif in addition to that sometimes it does create certain delays in the way the   oven functions the introduction of the GE shabbos  keeper for ovens represents a significant upgrade   to the existing shabbos mode and ovens both in  terms of shabbos observance without compromise   and convenience to consumers one can take out food  on shabbos leave food inside and come back and   retrieve additional food as one goes through his  meal one goes through courses from the night time   into the daytime one can come back multiple times  to the oven without any questions and that that   is a really a problem for the shabbos mode that  exists otherwise the shabbos keeper which GE with   Zman technologies and reb Ortner have developed is  something which takes us well beyond what what the   existing devices do so talking about what the  Shabbos Keeper is actually doing and operating   the machine over here will break it apart to  two parts once it's the convenience part of it   again it's automated before shabbos before yomtov  it disable all the buttons over here in the screen   and let you let you use the oven  with no worry about that   the most important thing is the flames which is  an actual fire very serious concern for shabbos   is being automated on both levels the auto shutoff  that is happening when you open or close the   door it's being deactivated so when you open or  close the door nothing is actually happening also   the temperature-based cycles of the flames is  being automated with a special technology that   we work together with GE engineers and Zman  technology is automating a way that you opening   or closing the door also not affecting the on and  off duration of the of the element so when you   open across the door you don't affect anything  in the oven being said that you're getting   automatically a warm set temperature for the  entire shabbos automatically every other shabbos   we also added cooking windows for yomtov so  when yomtov arrives you can have a few hours   in the night meal and a few hours in the  morning meal and get into bake mode which is   around 350 everything automated for you to use  automatically from before shabbos and yomtov   Rabbi Ortner as director of the ou's Halacha and  Technology department continues to work with GE   and other companies to develop solutions to  allow us as technology advances in our world   as innovation continues to progress to keep  the holy shabbos and yomtov and and have the   convenience of doing so in a way that that works  with with all the developments of technology
