Allow the following clearances around the fridge/freezer:
◆50 mm (2 inches) on all sides
◆300 mm (12 inches) above the fridge/freezer
Earthing the 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
