instruction booklets

Assembly direction pamphlets

Instruction booklets are small pamphlets or guides that explain how to use, assemble, or operate something.

They typically accompany products like appliances, furniture, or electronics: The instruction booklet for the crib was impossible to follow.

Also called instruction manuals, though booklet suggests something slimmer and less comprehensive.
