It probably pays to read the operating manual of any new appliance you buy, even if you are already familiar with apparently easy to use devices such as, say, a toaster. The problem though is what to do if the manual contains ambiguous or conflicting instructions as seems to be the case sometimes…
You might think that operating a toaster is like riding a bicycle, in that, once mastered, the skill never leaves one, or that a company which decides to go into such detail about this not-exactly-arcane method of food preparation could be said to have scant faith in the intelligence of its customers, but these days you cannot be too careful.
