Abstract

According to the invention, an operator interface (4) for a manufacturing device, for example, a plastic injection molding machine (1), has a selection list for providing user assistance. The selection list includes different production tasks. By selecting a production task, a corresponding flow chart is automatically retrieved which is comprised of steps of different categories. This flow chart is worked through by the user, whereby different files for providing user assistance are retrieved according to the sequence category of a step.
