A simplified, self-prompting user interface for electronically-controlled appliances. A series of simple menus is displayed, and each choice brings an appropriate next level menu, leading the user to make all necessary selections to use the appliance, without requiring instruction or training prior to use. Additional features include the ability to display user menus in a variety of languages, options to announce displayed information audibly, to make selections verbally, and to control the appliance remotely or from a personal computer. An interactive fault isolation diagnostic routine can also be implemented using this invention.
