INTRODUCTION
STATIC LARDER FRIDGES
These models are two door 50/50 split freestanding fridge freezers. Model CA55UK was introduced
during May 2010, manufactured by Indesit Company in Turkey. Model CA55KUK in black was
introduced during July 2011 and model CA55SUK in silver was introduced during November 2010.
Models CAA55UK and CAA55KUK were introduced during February 2012. Model NCAA55UK was
introduced during March 2012 and model CAA55SUK was introduced in May 2012.
The climate class for the A energy rated models is N, SN, signifying that they are designed to operate
in ambient temperatures b10ºC to +32ºC. For the A+ energy rated models it is T, signifying
that they are designed to operate in ambient temperatures b10ºC to +43ºC. As with many
refrigeration appliances, it is important that it is installed and operated within the recommended
ambient temperature range and that there is adequate ventilation.
The interior of the fridge has two glass shelves, one vegetable glass cover and two vegetable bins.
The door has one removable bottle rack, two removable full width commodity racks and one egg tray
(not fitted to model NCAA55UK).
The freezer has four drawers and two ice trays - all models except NCAA55UK which has two flaps,
one drawer and one ice tray.
This appliance is a single compressor fridge freezer combination produced with the fridge evaporator
and defrost heater foamed in behind the fridge liner. Whilst the compressor is cycling the rear wall of
the fridge will be frosted, similarly it will be wet following compressor switch off. This is known as 'Wet
Wall Design'. The control box is located inside the top right side of the fridge compartment. The control
box contains the thermostat, switch for the interior light, and a Low Ambient / Fast Freeze switch.
The capillary phial of the thermostat is located in a plastic tube foamed into the insulation from the
control box to the evaporator.
Defrost is automatic in the fridge and manual in the freezer. The fridge gutter drain hole can be cleared
of any debris using the plastic drain cleaning rod (supplied with the appliance when new).
It is recommended not to store the drain hole cleaner in the gutter drain hole as this could restrict the
flow of water.
The model has two feet at the front, only one is adjustable and rear supports moulded as part of the
base.
Doors are reversible, see Page 11.
ANTI- BACTERIA (Hygiene Control)
This model has an anti-bacteria (hygiene control) - built in protection for life. Food safety is becoming
increasingly important to consumers with more and more reported cases of food poisoning.
The hygiene control is built into the plastic of the fridge interior during manufacture so it cannot wash or
wear out. It provides permanent protection against bacteria as it reduces on contact the spread of food
poisoning bacteria, which can cause contamination and odour. It gives extra hygiene reassurance as it
kills or inhibits the growth of any bacteria, which may come into contact with the interior surfaces of the
fridge. The anti-bacteria protection is approved safe for the use in food contact applications by the
European Scientific Committee for Food and has proven safe over many in personal care and
household cleaning products.
