Instructions for illiterates?

Rijvana Shaik, SPA JNAFAU Hyderabad

The instruction pattern on Washing machines is not understood by the illiterates.
Bad Designs
People who cannot read or write cannot follow the instructions and hence it is difficult for them to use a washing machine. The visual design should be such that it can be understood by anyone.

if one cannot understand how to use a washer/dryer (due literacy issue) but still uses it then it is too risky as they cannot understand the basic safety steps and trouble shooting steps. so one shld ask such ppl to stay away from electroninc components or should train them correctly
