Standby mode of non-commercial cooking appliance

(of a non‐commercial cooking appliance) means any mode in which a conventional cooking top, conventional oven, conventional range, or microwave oven is connected to a main power source and offers one or more of the following user‐oriented or protective functions which may persist for an indefinite time:

(1) facilitation of the activation of other modes (including activation or deactivation of active mode) by remote switch (including remote control), internal sensor, or timer;

(2) provision of continuous functions, including information or status displays (including clocks) or sensor‐based functions. A timer is a continuous clock function (which may or may not be associated with a display) that allows for regularly scheduled tasks and that operates on a continuous basis.
