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 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.
