On some ovens, Sabbath mode just overrides the automatic shut-off. Many
oven will turn off after 12 hours, assuming that you simply forgot to turn
it off after removing the food. When you put it in Sabbath mode, it stays
on at the same temperature until you cancel it. Not only do you not have to
light the fire, you don't have to touch the controls. I also believe that
Sabbath mode prevents the light from turning on and off in some ovens -
again, preventing you from lighting a fire.
