What Probe
actually means.
Café shows Probe after you plug the food probe into the oven socket, as a reminder to enter the temperature you want the food to reach. It is a prompt, not a problem.

What to do when Probe shows on the stoveKind of codeMode, not a failure
Something the stove was switched into, often by accident, rather than something that broke: a control lock pressed while wiping the panel, a Sabbath setting, a showroom demo mode that lights the display and heats nothing, a reminder that a spot on the stovetop is still hot. No part is worn out, and the stove's own keys put it right.

The clock and display on the stove have gone dark, or they flash the time, a word or a string of characters and ignore the keys you press.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Café's own guidance for Probe on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Enter the target food temperature.
If you did not mean to use the probe, unplug it from the socket.
If Probe shows with nothing plugged in, book a visit to check the socket.
Cleared?
The stove is working again and no part was needed. If the same letters come back while a burner or the oven is on, or the stove switches itself off again in the middle of dinner, book it as a new problem.
What not to do
Probe is not a sensor failure. It clears once you enter a temperature or unplug the probe.

In Café's own words
This is reminding you to enter a probe temperature after plugging in the probe.

Book with the code written exactly as the stove shows it, the full model number, and whether you notice any smell of gas or hot wiring — when there is a code, that is where the diagnosis starts.
