The gas in your refrigerator is contained within a robust metal enclosure. However, a gas leak combined with a spark from a short circuit can cause a fire. Overcrowded electrical installations, common in homes with energy-consuming appliances, exacerbate this risk.
Precaution: Check electrical wiring regularly and avoid overloading your outlets. If in doubt, have your electrical installation checked by a professional.
An overloaded socket: the risk of a short circuit
Connecting multiple high-power appliances to the same outlet as the refrigerator is a common mistake that can overload the electrical circuit and increase the risk of short circuits and fires.
Recommendation: Reserve a power outlet exclusively for your refrigerator and, if necessary, install a suitable circuit breaker to prevent electrical overload.
