Re: Grounding a 3/2 adapter?
Get a 3 wire extension cord (16 guage or better for a refrigerator), plug the adaptor into the outlet and use the grounding screw. Better would be to hire an electrician to install a grounded outlet.

Re: Grounding a 3/2 adapter?
Running the refrigerator on a two wire cord won't burn the house down, but it does increase the risk of electric shock if an electiral defect or spilled liquid connects a hot wire to the metal refrigerator cabinet. The purpose of the third wire is to ground the metal that you touch, so that if the hot wire does connect to the body of the appliance, it will short and trip the breaker.
