In an age of unboxing videos and intuitive touchscreens, the printed product manual has become an artifact, often discarded with the plastic wrap and Styrofoam. Yet, nestled inside the cardboard container of a Cuisine Select Convection Oven lies a document that is far more than a collection of safety warnings and button diagrams.
