Instruction Manual Topic Selection
To: Dr. Lisa Eddins
From: Eddie Musa
Subject: ENGL 221
Date: 01/11/2024
Chosen Topic
What I've chosen as the technical procedure is "How to Set Up and Use a Home Coffee Maker." The user
manual will walk consumers through the precise steps of assembling and operating a coffee maker at home.
Obstacles
One significant obstacle I currently anticipate when writing these instructions is the critical duty of ensuring the
highest level of clarity when describing and fully explaining the numerous features and complex settings
connected to various models of coffee makers. This is because end users may own a variety of models, each
of which has a distinct configuration, set of specifications, and operational features, which means that a careful
approach is required to account for the inherent variations and guarantee an inclusive and user-friendly
instruction manual.
Final Step
It is advised in the instructions to begin by giving the user a thorough rundown of all the various parts of the
coffee maker. This comprises assisting the user in recognizing and comprehending important components,
such as the coffee pot, water reservoir, coffee filter compartment, and any additional features that could be
unique to the type being used. This detailed introduction aims to provide customers with a strong
understanding of the unique features of their coffee maker, which will enable them to move through the
remaining sections in the handbook with ease and effectiveness.
