Strictly observant Jewish people aren't allowed to do much on the Sabbath. That's why some fridges are sold with a specific SABBATH MODE included, to ensure that you don't accidentally blaspheme whilst rummaging for a bagel.
The following is an extract from the SABBATH MODE section of a manual for a Sub Zero refrigerator:
-The door can be opened/closed at any time without concern of directly turning on or off any lights, digital readouts, solenoids, fans, valves, compressor, icons, tones or alarms.
-Any defrost cycle that becomes active will not be a function of the number of times or the length of time that the door is opened.
-The ice maker is disabled automatically. Ice cubes can then be made manually (using a standard ice cube tray) as needed for that Sabbath/Holiday.
I heartily hope that the fridge bellows 'ENGAGE SABBATH MODE' at the moment the Sabbath begins. That would be amazing.
