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).

I can explain this one! When the knob only has one set of hi/lo, it controls the burner's heat as you'd expect, and it all works in the same direction. Those with multiple hi/lo sets control the heat and the size of the burner, since there are 2 (and on one, maybe 3?) concentric heating elements available for that knob.
I've had something similar for years, and have never had an issue. I'm even less likely to accidentally choose the wrong knob since the single-size one tends to have a looser feel to it.
Traslation: you get used to weird design.
It took me about a minute to figure the same, before reading the comment, and I never had a multi element burner.
Maybe OP, you, and a lot of other people in the thread are being a bit overdramatic?
This explains the circle symbols beside each "lo" on the multi-knobs. That's pretty clever once you get used to it.
The issue is the direction of the Hi Lo. One it’s clockwise the other counter and the other it depends on which burner size you want.
Yes they’re rings one double and one triple.
Each one that controls only one size gets hotter as you go counter-clockwise
Yea but the extra ring ones are all over the place.
There are two knobs that control burners with multiple sizes. One of them, like mine, controls two sizes. You can turn either direction to control the burner size you want, and it'll go high to low regardless. The other has three burner sizes. There is no third way to turn a knob, so they needed a different approach.
nice features, albeit highly situational, and probably useless for most home cooks. I imagine R&D needed something new for the model and over-engineered it.
I have different sized pots and pans, so it actually really comes in handy for that
