The bottom of the pan must be very thick and perfectly flat; before placing on

the cooking hob, make sure that the pan, as well as the cooking hob itself, is
perfectly clean and dry.

This function allows a lower temperature to be obtained on the ceramic hob surface in the selected
zone, enabling foods that have already been cooked (e.g. soups, meat after slicing, fish, sauces, etc.)
