 User Manual- Example-1

A user manual is the best known manual type – and understandably so, given the
amount of ready-to-use products that are around. ‘User manual’ stands for a
printed manual, a paper version of a manual roughly the size of a A5 booklet.
These user manuals are not only popular because of a variety in ready-to-use
products like radios, tv sets or vacuum cleaners. They are also popular because,

world. If one does not own a computer or smartphone, paper is the only available
option.

How to Use a Washer – USER MANUAL

Washing machines may look like magic – in goes your dirty laundry, and out
comes your fresh-smelling, impeccably clean clothes – but in reality, they’re just
very convenient and easy-to-use household appliances. To achieve the desired
cleanliness and to care for your clothes properly, it’s essential that you know how
to use your laundry machine correctly. Operating it can seem tricky at first, what
with all the buttons and cryptic icons, but with Tide’s help, you can master the art
of using a washing machine in no time! Here’s the perfect laundry routine in seven
simple steps.

Step 1. Separate Your Laundry

Sorting your laundry into different piles based on fabric type and color is step
number one. You should also check the care label of each garment for washing
instructions, so as to avoid damaging your fabrics. Make sure to pay extra attention
to your more delicate items: You should wash them either by hand, or on the
delicate cycle and in a mesh bag.
Step 2. Choose the Right Washing Cycle
Wash cycles consist of two important speeds: A speed at which it agitates or
tumbles your clothes with water, and a speed that spins the water out of your
clothes. Once again, when picking the correct washing cycle, you should refer to
your garments’ fabric care label. This way, you can maximize cleanliness while
also protecting your clothes. Your options range from normal and permanent press
to delicate and quick cycles.
Step 3. Set the Water Temperature
Using the correct water setting in your washer can make a world of difference in
your laundry. Hot water, for instance, sanitizes and kills germs better, but in some
cases, it can shrink your clothes, fade your fabrics, set certain stains, and requires a
lot more energy. So, reserve hot water washes for bath and kitchen towels,
bedding, sturdy fabrics and any extremely dirtied items. For moderately dirty
loads, dark colors, and the permanent press cycle, use warm water. Last but not
least, use cold water in the delicate cycle for delicate items, fabrics that have dyes
that might bleed, or clothes that aren’t especially dirty. Coldwater is the gentlest
way of washing your garments, and it also requires less energy, so you can save
energy and protect the environment.
Designed to deliver outstanding stain removal in all water conditions, Tide
laundry detergents offer an effective cold water clean even for dirty items.
Step 4. Add Detergent and Fabric Softener
Before adding your choice of detergent and fabric softener, make sure you read
your washer’s manual to find out which goes where. The amount of detergent
needed varies by load size and washing machine type, so check the back of the
detergent box and look for any labels on your washing machine to find out how
much you should use, as too much laundry detergent might cause problems.
Alternatively, you can just pop a pac of Tide PODS in your empty washing
machine drum and move on to the next step!
Step 5. Load the Washing Machine
This is the step where you dump your clothes into your washer. Make sure not to
overcrowd your clothes as overloading the machine may result in the clothes not
being washed as they should be. Also, incorrect amounts can cause operational
problems and damage.
 Small loads: ⅓ of the drum
 Medium loads: ½ of the drum
 Large loads: ¾ of the drum

Step 6. Turn on the Washer

Just close the door and hit the Start button. Some washing machines can indicate
that the door isn’t closed properly, while some can’t. Always remember to check
before starting to avoid accidents!
Leave your washing machine door open after use to allow it to air out and help
prevent mold and mildew from growing.
Step 7. Clean Your Washing Machine
Regular cleaning with a washing machine cleaner is an important part of knowing
how to use washing machines, after all, your washing machine won’t be able to do
its job efficiently if it’s not clean itself.
