Did you know, the potentiometers scale is usually supposed to be minutes? Maybe it's in the manual πŸ™‚

β€œCancel button does not reset your toast back to bread.”

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago

I'll bet 10-11 of those pages are safety warnings such as "Do not bathe with your toaster. Do not stab your toaster with a fork." Etc.

Me: pops out crumb tray to clean it.

Me: pushes lever up to raise toast to pull it out easier

Person who never flicked through the manual: WTH?

There's people who don't even know there's a crumb tray to clean. Also, the manual likely has multiple languages and, of course, a bunch of warnings because people are stupid and incapable of taking accountability for their poor decision-making ability. "How was I supposed to know you couldn't put the toaster in the dishwasher?"

If any of it contained repair documentation that'd actually be pretty cool, but I'm pretty sure it's mostly just "how to press a button", and "please don't put this in the bathtub"

It’s probably mostly warnings and warranty registration directions in 4 different languages.

Is one of the pages about why they chose to have 7 levels of toasting instead of 11?

You should see the manual for the four-slicer.
