Design Confusion

For this task i chose to analyse the stove top which is in the on campus apartment where i live. The stove top is confusing to use and often results in the user being almost burnt or the user experiencing a delayed dinner due to the confusing layout of between the hot plates and the control nobs. Another confusing element about this design is that the paint which has been used to label high to low on the control nobs has come off due to cleaning. This is again confusing to new users as they do not know which setting the stove top is set to.
