my drier's manual references animals to convey how the machine should sound during ordinary operation

  cancalling comes with a $7000 cancellation fee
- But it plays a cute little jingle when it finishes. 😒
  
  I offhandedly whistled that tune in a crowded area the other day and someone nearby turned around and said “ are you whistling the dishwasher song?” 😂
  
  That you can't turn off! Fucking hate it!

How to start your washing machine:
Feed it with honey for the bees inside.
Pet it until it purr.
...
- Cat ate sock.
- the washing mashine comes with one alive fly and cat inside

Its nice to to know some places are trying on the manuals. I miss the ones from years ago which told you how to maintain the appliance. Even like things as simple as a fan.

Purr like a kitty cat, buzz like a bee.
That's how it sounds when I'm drying laundry.

Lol, that noise cats make when they stretch is oddly specific and I doubt any non cat/pet owners would actually know what that sounds like. Thankfully there's subtitles!
- I think that means purring...
  
  Why they spell it brrr though? I’m guessing this is not an English manual?

Washing machine cat go brrrr?
- It's cold

Whoa that's a super nice way of telling the user how different parts of the drier should sound. A+++ for this execution. I can see that they take right to repair pretty seriously (at least for diagnostics)

that is actually duper useful!

If my cat purred as loud as my dishwasher, I would be concerned I own a tiger.

Dryer go Brrrrrr!

Looks like an Army field manual. I would have said Marines, but there isn't any color crayon marks.
- There's no crayon marks because they already ate them all.

My Ikea fridge has this info as well!
- I recently repaired an Ikea dishwasher. Turned out it was a Whirlpool-built unit. Decent one, at that.
  
  Yeah you can deduce what's under the hood from who you have to call when it breaks lol. I believe when needed to call Whirlpool for the dishwasher and the induction plate and Electrolux for the fridge. Mind you that all three appliances broke in the 4 years we've had the kitchen. The induction plate, twice.
