That electrical resource is already in place. A 40Amp @ 240 VAC connection
is not.

So is such an oven conscious of the day of the week?
Doesn't a proper kosher kitchen have duplication in numerous facilities?
That, of course, would be impossible here.

What if the fire is already lit (pilot)? Is it OK to just make the fire
bigger?

Do you really mean drop-in or are you looking for slide-in?

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.

He really meant drop in. He really meant gas, not electric. If you search
some of the popular manufacturers of ranges, no one still offers a drop in
gas that I can see.

I'm gas stove ignorant and plan to stay that way.
