My outlet reads 15A 125V, I bought a fridge with a plug that reads 7A 125V, and IH range who's plug reads 15A 100V. Is it safe to use these items?

I bought both an IH range and a fridge that said they are 50Hz/60Hz, so I assumed it was safe to use in my apartment. However, the plugs do not match the outlet.

Fridge plug = 7A 125V (the manual says the rated voltage is 100V)

IH range= 15A 100V

I've done as much reading about this as I can before asking for help, but quite frankly, I'm still afraid of accidentally burning down my apartment.

Backstory: I recently moved to Japan and I cannot read the language very well yet (I can only read and speak enough to survive). To make matters worse, I have to buy my own living equipment (stove, fridge, etc.) and don't know much about electrical currents. What I do know is that the outlets in my prefecture is typically 60Hz.

If it helps (I doubt it), all of my supplies have been bought here.

Any and a help is greatly appreciated. -Electrically Lost
