What SABBATH MODE
actually means.
Bertazzoni's manual has the installer press and hold two buttons for 3 seconds to enter or exit Sabbath Mode, with the display briefly confirming 'On' or 'OF' before returning to the normal screen, and the setting takes effect only after the buttons are left alone for 10 seconds.

What to do when SABBATH MODE shows on the applianceKind of codeSetup modes, not failures
Nothing is wrong with the new appliance; it has come out of the carton in a state the store or the factory left it in. A showroom or demo mode lights the display and the fans while the unit never cools or heats, a Sabbath setting holds the oven light and hides the controls, a control or shipping lock refuses every key, and some laundry and dish care machines ask for a first calibration cycle before normal use. The manual gives the key sequence that turns each one off; once it is off, the appliance runs as it should.

Shows up asAppliance Installation Code on a New Unit: Setup Modes and Hookup Messages
An appliance installation code is a message a new unit shows because of how it was set up: a demo mode, a water or drain alert, a vent warning or a power check.
MakeBertazzoni
A Bertazzoni install is usually a pro-style gas or dual-fuel range with its matching hood, and sometimes the column refrigeration and dishwasher beside it.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Bertazzoni's own guidance for SABBATH MODE on its appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Press and hold the two marked buttons together for 3 seconds to toggle Sabbath Mode.
Confirm the display shows 'On' or 'OF' for 5 seconds to verify which state was entered.
Leave the panel untouched for 10 seconds after toggling, since the manual says the change only takes effect once it is locked.
If the refrigerator's actual cooling is affected while the mode is on, book a visit rather than continuing to toggle it.
Cleared?
The message has gone from the display, the setting or connection behind it has been corrected, and the new appliance finishes a full first cycle without raising it again. A setup code that comes straight back after the hookup has been checked points to something the install missed, such as a kinked hose or a harness left unplugged, so note it when you book.
What not to do
Sabbath Mode is not an error code and does not stop the compressor from running; it is a different setting from Demo Mode, which does stop the unit cooling.

A booking moves faster with three things: the message exactly as the display shows it, the model number from the carton or the rating plate, and the moment it first appeared. With those, the office can tell whether it is a setup step or a connection to put right, and send the part that fixes it.
