Notes to answerer

Asker: 不对，是针对电磁炉来说的，不会是速度。

Asker: 电磁炉好像有高，中，低温的区别。这里就应该是这个高温，可是我就是糊涂不出来。周末愉快！

9 hrs confidence:

maximum

Explanation:
"控制装置被设置在最高位档位"可翻译为“The control device/control gear is set to {Maximum}”。其实，maximum本身就有“最大值、极限值、最高值”之意，所以“最高位档位”没有必要一字对一词的翻译出来，直接用“maximum”就够了——简明、达意，且符合英文的表达。

供参考！
