I figured this might be a good reason to simply use the weekday mode all
the time. So I conducted a simple experiment. After filling it and getting
the water hot, I unplugged it, waited 10-15 seconds, and plugged it back in.

I got the same results in all three modes: It stays off, even in weekday
mode. Apparently, even though a plain "dumb urn" will come back on when the
power is restored, the circuitry of a "smart urn" gets reset during a power
failure regardless of what setting it had been set to.

At least, that's why happened to *my* urn. YMMV.
