    Hello,

    The manual says that the refrigerator should be connected to the wall. Can I connect it to an extension cord (or rather a splitter, what about now) and then to contact?

    It is an extension cord without any cable. Only connection to a contact and a sort of adapter, splitter. In the sense of making one contact two, but without any cable.

    You can, the fridge is not an oven. :)
    Attention: If the refrigerator has a plug with a protective contact, then both the wall contact and the distributor must have protective pins / contacts.

    Explanation for the layman: This is a hole in the plug that the socket or splitter pin goes into - you can see it in your photo above the black plug :)
    If you know ELEKTRONICE, you should also know protection against electric shock.

    Ok, photos are there.
    Is it ok or change something?

    I understand that this way I can't connect the oven? Because it's been connected for a year :D

    I did not ask you for photos :) You have received an explanation, use the sage "eye and umu" and judge for yourself whether it is OK or something should be changed.

    "A fridge does not mean an oven" that is much less powerful and will not burn out the socket and the oven may or may not.
    Check that the plug and socket do not heat up during oven operation.
