FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: My Café stove displays an 'F' error code. What does this mean?
A: This is a Function Error Code, signaling a problem with one of the oven's functions. Potential causes include a malfunctioning electronic control board, a faulty sensor, or an issue with a specific component. Try power cycling the oven by disconnecting it from the power supply for 30 seconds, then reconnecting. If the error persists, contact Café customer service or a qualified technician.

Q: The 'SF' error code is showing on my cooktop. What should I do?
A: This indicates a Surface Lockout, meaning the cooktop and control panel are locked to prevent accidental activation. To unlock, simultaneously press and hold the Bake and Broil Hi/Lo pads for 3 seconds.

Q: One of my burners won't ignite. What could be the problem?
A: For your safety, unplug the appliance and shut off any gas supply before proceeding. Several issues can cause this, from a faulty igniter to a blocked burner port. Try cleaning the burner area. If that doesn’t work, it's best to call a professional.

Q: My stove is making a loud vibrating noise. Is this serious?
A: Unusual noises could indicate a problem with the fan motor, internal components, or even loose parts. It's essential to have a technician diagnose the issue to prevent further damage.

Repair or Replace?

Expert Advice: Repair or Replace?

Deciding whether to repair or replace your Café stove requires careful consideration of several factors. A key consideration is the appliance's age. If your stove is relatively new and the repair cost is reasonable, repair is often the most economical choice. However, if the appliance is nearing the end of its lifespan or the repair cost is substantial, replacement might be the better option.

The type of problem also plays a significant role. Minor issues like a faulty igniter or burner are usually cost-effective to repair. However, if the problem lies with the control board or another major component, the repair cost can be significant. Our technicians can provide expert advice on whether repair or replacement is the best option for your situation.
