????️ Installation tip: Place the fridge guard within 1 m of the fridge’s socket. Use a short, thick (>1.5 mm²) extension cable if needed — no more than ~3 m. yx-wz.com

3️⃣ Heavy‑Duty Extension Cable

For your dispenser and fridge guard setup, use a 3‑core, ≥1.5 mm² copper cable, rated for 13–20 A (≈3,000 W).

Secure three-prong, grounded extension — ideally surge-protected.

Reddit advice highlights:

“Don’t buy the 6‑20. … If the receptacle is 15 A … make sure your cord is the same configuration.” Reddit
“Use 12 gauge cord … voltage drop … motors don’t like undervoltage.” Radox Technology+2Reddit+2Reddit+2

Keep it as short as practical (under 5 m) to avoid voltage drop and heat buildup.

✅ Summary of Setup & Safety

➡️ Dos:

Place guard close to fridge/dispenser (≤1 m).

Use dedicated or short heavy-duty extension cable.

Choose surge-protected models.

Never "daisy‑chain" or use cheap, thin cords.

➡️ Don'ts:

Don’t use flimsy or coiled extension cables with motor-driven appliances.

Don’t plug multiple heavy appliances into a single extension.
