I stopped asking how anything worked at my first job and just googled the model to find a manual. The best I could get from other people was the one function they used.
On the other hand it's a skill that's come in useful in general, because 9/10 problems with stuff can be fixed by just reading the manual, and now I'm a custodian/handyman nearly all of the problems I'm faced with can be solved by reading a manual or watching a YouTube how-to.
