Various factors must be taken into account when choosing where to install your fridge/freezer.
For the personal safety of you and your family, your fridge/freezer
must be:
◆
Plugged into its own individual wall outlet with the
correct voltage and frequency, as indicated inside the
refrigerator door
◆
Properly earthed (do not ground the fridge/freezer with a
telephone line, gas pipe, and so on)
To minimise the possibility of electric shocks from the appliance, the
wall outlet must also be earthed; have it checked by a qualified
electrician. If it is not earthed, it is your personal responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced with a properly earthed outlet, or use a
different power point.
If the power cord is damaged, avoid a hazard by
replacing it through the manufacturer or its service
agent or a similarly qualified person.
In case of power plug without ground terminal.
◆
Connect one side of the ground wire (yellow/green
or green color) with the ground screw, another side
of the ground terminal with steel or copper pipe such
as water pipe tap.
