thickness of the side walls is 5/8" (16mm). The minimum thickness of the doors to be
attached to the product must be 3/4" (19mm).
ATTENTION
Failure to follow these instructions may result in death, fire, or electric
shock. Connecting the grounding conductor of the equipment to an
improper place may lead to electric shock. Please have the grounding
checked by a qualified electrician or service technician.
Installation, repair, and other procedures performed by unqualified
persons may cause danger. Before installing the appliance, make sure
that the voltage, load, and circuit current parameters on the data plate
are in compliance with the power mains in your house.
The appliance is provided with a NEMA 5-15P plug and a 3-pin power
cable, which is in the UL list and ready to be connected to a 120VAC,
60HZ power supply. The fuse is 15 amps, and the appliance must be
connected to a dedicated electrical outlet. If combining two RBIV-30
units into an RBIV-60 model, both need to be plugged in independently.
They can be plugged into the same dedicated receptacle, and a 15-
amp breaker is the recommended breaker size for both together.
If the electrical wiring or power supply of the house needs alteration, the
necessary procedures must be performed by a qualified electrician. The
plug must be installed only by a licensed electrician.
ATTENTION
Do not install your refrigerator:
• In open areas
• In environments where water is dripping
