You're absolutely right — the low visibility of the control markings can be frustrating, especially if you rely on clear visuals while cooking. It’s true that in some online images the knob settings appear more distinct, but in person, the contrast can be quite poor depending on lighting and angle. Here are a few suggestions that might help: Add-on Stickers or Markers: You can buy heat-resistant, high-contrast stickers or knob overlays (often used for accessibility) that make the settings more visible. They're easy to apply and remove. Improve Lighting: A focused under-cabinet light above the cooktop can make a big difference in helping the markings stand out. Paint/Pen Trick: Some people use a fine-tip black permanent marker or appliance touch-up paint to darken the existing markings (just be sure it’s heat-safe). Contact KitchenAid Support: It's worth reaching out to see if they offer replacement knobs with higher-contrast markings or any accessibility alternatives. You're definitely not alone in this — many users have shared similar concerns. I hope one of these options makes cooking a bit easier and more enjoyable for you!
