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.

    Yeah, the last one is different because it has three modes, but in a vacuum it seems like they could have set it up closer to the paradigm of the two-mode knobs. Depending on how those knobs are actually wired though, there may be a good reason why it was easier to make it that way.
