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 becomes damaged:
◆ Immediately unplug it from the wall outlet
◆ Have it repaired by a qualified electrician
