Problems solved by technology

But, most users simply look through the owner's manuals once or twice when they have just purchased the electronic appliances, and thus, the uses of the electronic appliances cannot but be restricted to a very general purpose.
Accordingly, the various uses of the electronic appliances cannot be fully utilized by the user or consumer, and consequently, the problem that various functions of the electronic appliances cannot be sufficiently utilized is produced.
Further, in order for the user to utilize the electronic appliances with reference to the owner's manuals, the owner's manuals should be always kept at a place near the electronic appliances, and thus, it was very troublesome to use the electronic appliances.
In particular, since the washing machine is generally installed at a separate place such as washing room or veranda, it is very troublesome to perform washing processes of the washing machine with reference to the owner's manual whenever needed.
