Record model and serial information
These identifiers help locate correct parts, manuals and service information.
Keep proof of purchase
Receipts or order confirmations may be needed for warranty service.
Prefer official manuals
Manufacturer documentation is safer than generic maintenance instructions for appliance-specific tasks.
Remove obsolete records
When an appliance leaves the household, update the file so old documents do not cause confusion.
General household information only. Follow product labels and manufacturer instructions. Electrical, gas, structural, hazardous-material and other safety-critical work belongs to appropriately qualified professionals.
