also, I think those directions were written by a hoarder. Save packing materials in case you may one day need to ship it? Is this really practical advice?
Detailed instructions are crucial to me, I guess because of my confusion trying to set up my Ronco Seal-A-Meal many years ago. Losing my right testicle because of vague directions taught me a lesson I won't soon forget.
But were you able to get the Seal-a-Meal out of the box without instructions?
No, but I effortlessly passed the audition overseas with the Vienna Boys Choir.
Actually, I think this is really more a statement on how litigious we've become. Every time I see something stupid like those instructions, I always figure it was because some idiot managed to hurt himself with something obvious (peanuts in peanut butter, a cardboard box, hot coffee, etc) and now the company has learned to protect themselves. Insane.
