Ughhh ok Mine is a Indesit CAA55K ( was an effort finding that out - had to pull it out and found a sticker right at the bottom on the back) which says ''Unconfirmed'' ''No'' on the list.

So what do we do with it?

Ahh pretty much nothing

What if I already own one of these appliances? If you already own one of these models, please be assured that refrigerator fires are rare. Our July 2015 research into government fire data found that only 7% of fires caused by faulty appliances were caused by fridge freezers, fridges or freezers. The concern is that the backing material allows an existing fire to spread – it isn’t the cause of fire itself. We aren’t therefore recommending that you replace your current appliance. But when you do come to need a new fridge, freezer or fridge freezer, you should buy one with flame-retardant backing.

Just worrying worriers into buying new fridge freezers really aren't they ...
