A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Miele T 8722, along with an item. The lack of an instruction or false information given to customer shall constitute grounds to apply for a complaint because of nonconformity of goods with the contract. In accordance with the law, a customer can receive an instruction in non-paper form; lately graphic and electronic forms of the manuals, as well as instructional videos have been majorly used. A necessary precondition for this is the unmistakable, legible character of an instruction.

What is an instruction?

The term originates from the Latin word „instructio”, which means organizing. Therefore, in an instruction of Miele T 8722 one could find a process description. An instruction's purpose is to teach, to ease the start-up and an item's use or performance of certain activities. An instruction is a compilation of information about an item/a service, it is a clue.

Unfortunately, only a few customers devote their time to read an instruction of Miele T 8722. A good user manual introduces us to a number of additional functionalities of the purchased item, and also helps us to avoid the formation of most of the defects.

What should a perfect user manual contain?

First and foremost, an user manual of Miele T 8722 should contain:
- informations concerning technical data of Miele T 8722
- name of the manufacturer and a year of construction of the Miele T 8722 item
- rules of operation, control and maintenance of the Miele T 8722 item
- safety signs and mark certificates which confirm compatibility with appropriate standards

Why don't we read the manuals?

Usually it results from the lack of time and certainty about functionalities of purchased items. Unfortunately, networking and start-up of Miele T 8722 alone are not enough. An instruction contains a number of clues concerning respective functionalities, safety rules, maintenance methods (what means should be used), eventual defects of Miele T 8722, and methods of problem resolution. Eventually, when one still can't find the answer to his problems, he will be directed to the Miele service. Lately animated manuals and instructional videos are quite popular among customers. These kinds of user manuals are effective; they assure that a customer will familiarize himself with the whole material, and won't skip complicated, technical information of Miele T 8722.

Why one should read the manuals?

It is mostly in the manuals where we will find the details concerning construction and possibility of the Miele T 8722 item, and its use of respective accessory, as well as information concerning all the functions and facilities.

After a successful purchase of an item one should find a moment and get to know with every part of an instruction. Currently the manuals are carefully prearranged and translated, so they could be fully understood by its users. The manuals will serve as an informational aid.

    General Important Before operating the tumble dryer, a suitable ducting system must be installed to carry the moist air from the dryer to the outside. This can be: . . . flexible ducting hose, or plastic piping connected to the dryer, or . . . the dryer may be connected directly to the wall vent. – Before installing the ducting system, ensure tha[...]

  • Page 41

    Calculating the total duct length : Friction against the inner walls of the ducting will slow down the expelled air as it passes through. An elbow, bend, non-return flap or wall vent creates more friction than a straight duct. The friction created by each of these is expressed as an additional duct length factor . The additional length factors are [...]

    b Plastic piping Plastic piping is a good option where the vented air has to be ducted for some distance. The smooth walls of the pipe create less friction for the vented air than the walls of a flexible vent hose, for example. Time and energy consumption are better with plastic piping. The following items are required: – An adapter* ( C 100 mm).[...]
