What does the “K” on my smooth top cooktop mean? Does it have anything to do with kosher cooking? It’s not a Kenmore so I don’t believe that it has anything to do with Kenmore appliances. We’ve looked to see what it could mean and can’t find the answer. Thanks.

The Sabbath mode is even approved by a Kosher agency–Star K specifically. Electrolux’s website also indicates that this cooktop is 70% more efficient than gas and 20% more efficient than electric.

Sabbath mode is for religious Jews who don’t operate any machinery on the Sabbath. It disables the auto-shut off feature of the oven and the electronic display and the light. You would turn the oven on before the Sabbath and just leave it running.

Sabbath mode is a way that stricter Jews can get around the ban on lighting a fire on the sabbath. Starting electronics (or at least turning on a heat source) is considered equivalent to lighting a fire.
Most new ovens have a feature that turns them off after 12 hours (I believe this is a legal requirement, actually). Sabbath mode allows Jews who wish to remain Kosher over the Sabbath or Jewish holidays to do so by bypassing this feature, allowing the oven to stay on for an indeterminate time.
Some of the stoves also have a feature that allows the cook to turn up or down the stove within certain parameters laid out by Rabbis, allowing them to warm pre-made meals to different temperatures.
