instruction sheets

How-to pages included

Instruction sheets are documents that explain how to assemble, operate, or use a product.

They typically accompany purchases requiring setup—furniture, appliances, electronics—and range from clear step-by-step guides to notoriously confusing diagrams: The instruction sheets were in six languages but still made no sense.

Also called instruction manuals or simply instructions.
