These instructions are in addition to any other Company procedures already published.

Published primarily for Indesit Company engineers working in the UK or Southern Ireland, for
which these instructions are MANDATORY.

1. Only engineers who have been trained on the safe handling of Isobutane R600a refrigerant are
authorised to transport, store or carry out system repairs.

2. This manual is not intended as a comprehensive repair/maintenance guide to the appliance.

3. Must only be used by suitably qualified persons having technical competence, applicable product
knowledge, suitable tools and test equipment.

4. Servicing of electrical appliances must be undertaken with the appliance disconnected (unplugged
from the electrical supply).

5. Servicing must be preceded by earth continuity and insulation checks, plus refrigerant leak
detection.

6. Personal safety precautions must be taken to protect against accidents caused by sharp edges on
metal and plastic parts.

7. After servicing, the appliance must be rechecked for electrical safety.

8. Smoking, naked flames, or operating gas and/or electrical equipment (including cordless power
tools) are forbidden within the storage area, working area and vehicles used to transport Isobutane.

9. The carrying case for the scales and refrigerant must display a red flammability label
Part Number C00247960 (8100063) that should be visible and readable at all times.

10. The vehicle and storage area must be ventilated as far as is reasonably practicable and the
aluminium case kept out of direct sunlight. The storage temperature of Isobutane should not exceed
50°C.

11. Vehicles carrying R600a canisters:
The Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations 2009
(CDG 2009) require every transport unit to be equipped with one portable fire extinguisher, Part
Number C00274640, for inflammability classes 1 A, B and C, with a minimum capacity of 2 kg dry
powder.

12. The vehicle transporting Isobutane (R600a) refrigerant must display a Red Flammable Gas warning
sticker (Part No. C00247960 [(8100063)].

13. Engineers should not wear clothe s that are liabl e to cause static discharge ('electrostatic sparking').

14. Avoid working in small rooms.

15. Do not work in cellars.

16. Whenever possible move the applia nce into a larger open ar ea away from possible igni tion sources.

17. Request the customer to turn off all other electrical and gas appliances in the near vicinity of the
repair and note that it is done.
Customers should be advised to restrict activity within the near vicinity for a short time.

18. Isobutane refrigerant must be vented to atmosphere, (outside of the premises e.g. via open window
through the clear plastic hose supplied).

HEALTH AND SAFETY

19. Isobutane is heavier than air and must not be ve nted within 3 metres of the following: sewer cove r,
cellar, drain or any similar construction lower than ground level, boiler air inlet/outlet, or near any
possible source of ignition.

20. Working with a naked flame i.e. soldering or brazing is forbidden. Unless otherwise stated,
pipework connections must only be made using the Lokring coupling system.

21. Electronic leak detectors with high voltage tips must NOT be used with any Isobutane (R600a).

22. All equipment used for this activity must be checked re gularly and maintained in a safe working
condition; parts must be replaced as required.

Information Regarding Isobutane Canisters

1. The maximum quantity of Isobutane an engineer should hold or store at any one time is two 1kg
net aluminium canisters, supplied individually as Part No. C00089700.

2. Canisters must be stored inside the aluminium case with the weighing scales for protection from
possible damage and heat. The aluminium case must NEVER be placed next to a heat source or
in direct sunlight.

3. Isobutane must only be dispensed to the applia nce fr om the 1kg n et alumini um canister p laced in
an upright position on the weighing scales provided.

4. All used canisters must be a returned as scrap and therefore, left out for the driver to collect and
return for disposal.

5. Canisters must not be punctured or the internal valve damaged.

6. Before storing the canister it must have the extr action tap valv e removed an d the internal va lve of
the canister checked for leakage using leak detector [Part No. C00222861 (5700043)].

7. All used canisters and those found to be leaking should be exhausted to atmosphere to ensure
they are emptied completely. Refer to the following paragraph.

8. Refit the extraction tap if necessary, open the tap and then invert the canister.

INTRODUCTION

The FFLAA58W range was introduced during Dec.2014 for the UK market, manufa ctured in China.
The interior of the fridge has three glass shelves, one vegetable glass cover and one vegetable bin,

and is fitted with a Water dispenser in the door.
The door has one removable bottle rack, two removable full width commodity racks.
The freezer has four drawers and one standard ice tray.
The thermostat and LED interior light are contained in the control box

mounted on the upper right hand side of the fridge compartment.
The cooling system is partial no-frost, with the freezer being no-frost

with the evaporator mounted to the rear liner of the freeze r
compartment and the fridge being a wet wall with t he evaporator
mounted behind the rear liner of the fridge compartment.

The evaporator is fitted with a Defrost Heater.
The defrost cycle is controlled by a Defrost Thermostat device

enclosed in a transparent waterproof envelope .
The Defrost Heater is also protected by a one-shot device enclosed in

a transparent waterproof envelope .
Both devices are attached to the top of the evaporator by a cable tie.
Both devices are classed as an assembly connected by a common connector plug.
Refer to the Defrost wiring section for more information.

Note:

- Defrosting is automatic:

- Fridge = Residual Air (Wet Wall)

- Freezer = Heated Defrost (No Frost)
The model has two adjustable front feet are adjustable with 2 fixed rear rollers as part of the base.
The climate class is N.ST signifying that it is designed to operate in ambient temperatures betwe en

+16°C to +43°C.
As with many refrigeration appliances, it is important that it is installed and operat ed within the

recommended ambient temperature range and that there is adequate ventilation.
The doors are reversible, see page 9.

ANTI-BACTERIA (Hygiene Control)

All models have built in anti-bacterial protection for life of the product.
Food safety is becoming increasingly important to consumers with more and more case s of food

poisoning. Hygiene control is built into the plastic of the fridge interior during manufacture so it ca nn ot
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.

Hygiene control is approved safe for use in food contact applications by the European Scientific
Committee for Food and has proven safe over many in persona l care and household cleaning
products.
