Extraordinary. I bought a rather expensive Whirlpool oven. It came with an instruction manual. This included descriptions of various functions which were described in a completely cryptic and contradictory manner. So I telephoned Whirlpool customer services. I asked what, the various functions did. For example, the "pastry function" was described as "static plus fan". Static was described as "no fan". What on earth? The person read the instruction booklet to me. I replied that I was an averagely intelligent human being who could read an instruction manual all by himself, and I wanted to know what was meant ...  Read the complete review
