About Model Handbook
Each page covers one model, or several models that share a manual. It lists the error codes or indicator lights, the problems the manual covers with the checks it leaves to owners, maintenance intervals, settings, consumables and recalls.
Sources
Facts come from the manufacturer's manuals and support articles for that model number. Each one cites the document, its revision, the section and the printed page, and the page links to the manufacturer's copy. Recalls come from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Forums, repair blogs and manual-sharing sites are not used as sources. Where a page and the manual disagree, follow the manual.
Repairs not covered
Pages give only the checks the manual leaves to owners. Work on live wiring, gas, refrigerant or batteries, or anything behind a cover, is referred to the manufacturer or a technician. Warnings keep the manufacturer's signal word: DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION or NOTICE.
Errors
Email hello@modelhandbook.com with the page address and, if you have it, the manual section. Newer manual revisions and missed recalls are also welcome.
Privacy
Cloudflare serves the site and processes what every web request carries (IP address, browser, the address requested, the referring page and the time) to deliver pages and block abuse. On modelhandbook.com, every page also loads Google Tag Manager (GTM-T45LFP4M) and Google Analytics 4, which set the _ga and _ga_* cookies (a random browser ID, kept up to 2 years) and send Google the page address, the referring page, approximate location and device details. Reports show page counts, not names or email addresses. Google keeps event data for the retention period set on the property (up to 14 months). Google and Cloudflare may process the data outside the UK and EEA, including in the United States.
Search runs in your browser, but the words are added to the search page's address, so a loaded or shared search address reaches Cloudflare and Google Analytics. The site has no accounts, forms or ads and sets no other cookies.
For visitors covered by the EU or UK GDPR, the legal basis is legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)): delivering and securing the site, and seeing which pages are read. To opt out, block cookies for this site, block googletagmanager.com, or install Google's opt-out add-on; every page still works. To access, correct or delete data, or to object, email hello@modelhandbook.com with your _ga cookie value, which is the only identifier the data is linked to. You can also complain to the UK ICO or your EU data protection authority. Policies: Google, Cloudflare. Updated .
