Low temperature mode

Low temperature mode is designed specifically for tempering chocolate and maintaining the temperature at 32°C for long periods of time.

Low temperature mode enables Ztove to perform temperature control at very low temperatures (~3-4°C above ambient temperature). When low temperature mode is enabled the zone stops reporting 'F' if the cookware is removed from the zone, see Status messages. The zone also stops auto-detecting the cookware type present.

Do not swap out other cookware on the zone when low temperature mode is in use. Only use the Ztove cookware that was on the zone when low temperature mode was enabled.
