speed of the cooking process in the following table.

Result

The cookware is not suitable for the cooking zone

and therefore does not heat up.
The cookware is taking longer to heat up than ex-

pected and cooking is not progressing as well as

it ought to.
The cookware is heating up correctly and cooking

is progressing well.

To activate this function, touch the settings range.
