Re: "first read the fine forum thread until the end"
Nowadays you need to buy an industrial washing machine if you want it to outweigh the manual (assuming you actually get a physical, dead tree manual).
Buying anything that has a battery in it, or was even once close to a battery or has any moving parts, will get you something where the first fifty pages are Elfin safety warnings and disclaimers in a couple of dozen languages.
Then when you actually find your language of choice, the instructions refer to numbered parts that are not included on the fly leaf drawing.
I almost always go to the website so that I can scream at the forum link that is 'under maintenance' for the first few tries and then has no reference at all to my problem.
Asus, I am looking at you.
