Buen manual de instrucciones

Las leyes obligan al vendedor a entregarle al comprador, junto con el producto, el manual de instrucciones Toshiba PSCJEU-00K001.

Al final, en un manual se pueden encontrar los detalles de servicio técnico Toshiba en caso de que las soluciones propuestas no hayan funcionado.
