It is labeled "Temperature Control"

Next to 1 it says "min"

@futurebird I've had two that looked like this, with an edge-on wheel in the middle:

min | 3---4---5 | max

I could never figure out if that meant "numbers to the left are minimum, turn right to show smaller numbers" or "turn it left, towards min, to minimize". or what "min/max" actually meant (temperature? power consumption? no indication at all!)

appliances are stunningly badly designed. I don't understand how humans can make stuff like this.

(yes I just read the manual after staring at it for far too long)
