I kept burning my food or wait forever for the pan to heat up and I finally understand why. Each knob has a different direction for the Hi and Lo (also why isn’t it Low).

Last one is the only one that's out of place to me. They all have counter clockwise when solo mode, when 2 modes available, low is at the bottom and high is at the top, makes sense, but the last one is different.

Also, why would it be Low? They're using 2 letters, Hi and Lo are different enough to identify. I'd have to check mine, but using Hi/Lo seems normal.

Confusing, but nice that they have the simmer spot marked. I always find that hard to gauge.

One office I worked in had a toaster with a knob where "off" is almost all the way to the left.

Turning the knob to the right lets you control the toasting time, like any other knob-based timer.

But if you turn it left from the "off" position, that's the "stay on" position.

So if you'd set the timer, and then wanted to cancel it, you can't just turn it all the way left like on any other knob timer. If you do that, you're telling it to stay on forever and eventually scorch the table and set off the fire alarm.

This is actually pretty infuriating for me to look at and I´m getting violent impulses from it. You should at least have put a trigger warning before it you monster!
