Concept Worksheet: Analyzing an Instruction

For this worksheet, I will analyze the manual instruction for the immersion blender. An

immersion blender is a kitchen appliance used for blending sauces, soups, and smoothies. It is a

handheld appliance with blades on one end and a motor on the other. The instruction manual for

this blender comes in two different languages, that is English and French. The manual includes

the features, instructions for assembling and operating the blender, care and cleaning, storage,

electrical requirements, and necessary safeguards when using the immersion blender. The

manual also includes warranty instructions for the appliance, including how to arrange for

warranty and out-of-warranty service.

After reading the immersion blender instruction manual, I can conclude that it follows

various characteristics of good technical writing. The instruction manual had a clear focus on the

audience, who use either English or French. This way, the manufacturer ensures that their target

audience/consumer can comfortably read and understand the instructions. The manufacturer also

wrote the instruction in a purposeful and problem-oriented way, in that they provide clear

instructions on assembling and operating the appliance.

The instruction manual is professional but also easy for the average user to understand

the information. The content is clear, precise, and specific to its audience and purpose. Providing

essential safeguards for using the immersion blender and warranty instructions shows that the

manual follows the ethical characteristic of technical writing. It is ethical for the manufacturer

must ensure that they protect the user's safety by providing safety measures. However, the

manual is not research and technology-oriented as it does not give any details of research

regarding the appliance.
