running at a lower temperature
i.e. you're right - it's the literal meaning of 'cool'.

Comment: "Thank you very much, dear colleagues!
As far as I see, it's about heating -- so I give points to Angela who was the first, but I'm equally grateful to the both answers and all peers. Thank you very much!"
