Important Safe-guards

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be taken, with

particular reference to the following:

-Read all instructions.

-To protect against fire, electric shock and personal injury, do not immerse cable, plug

or appliance in water or other liquid.

-Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

-Unplug from socket when not in use and before cleaning.

-Do not operate if the cable, plug or unit itself is damaged or faulty. Return the

appliance to the nearest authorised service centre for examination, repair or adjust-

ment.

-The use of accessories or spare parts other than those recommended by the manu-

facturer may result in fire, electric shock or personal injury.

-Do not use outdoors.

-Do not use the appliance in ways other than that for which it was intended.

-Do not place the power cable under strain. Avoid twisting and/or tangling.

-Ensure that the outlet of the discharge hose is kept free from debris and blockages.

-Do not obstruct the ventilation holes at the rear of the unit or the front grilles.

-The Pinguino should not be installed where there may be combustible gases in the

atmosphere.

-Avoid using Pinguino in oily or sulphurous atmospheres or near sources of heat.

-Before moving the air conditioner, empty water from condensation tray (see draina-

ge instructions on page 15).

-Do not place hot or heavy objects on the unit.

-Clean air filter every week (see instructions on page 15).

-To disconnect, turn control to “OFF”, then unplug from wall socket.

-Important: if an extension is required, use heavy duty cable only (minimum 14 gauge

During the summer, optimum comfort is achieved with a temperature of between 75-80°F (24-

27°C) and about 50% relative humidity.

An air conditioner removes moisture and heat from the room where it is located. One advantage

of portable air conditioning units over fitted models is that they can be moved from one room to

another in the home or even transferred between different buildings.

The hot air in your room is passed through a

coil cooled by refrigerant gas, losing

excess heat and moisture before

being discharged again into the

room.

In Pinguino, a small part of this

air is used to cool the refrige-

rant gas before, hot and

moist, being discharged out-

side.

Each Pinguino can also be

used as a fan only.

When positioning the appliance, always ensure that nothing obstructs the intake and discharge of

air

AIR CONDITIONING WITHOUT PERMANENT

INSTALLATION

Only a few simple steps are necessary to

obtain the comfort offered by Pinguino.

•Fit the air exhaust hose (14) in its housing (5)

at the rear of the appliance as shown in fig.1

•If you have a double window, use the

suckers (16) supplied to keep the panes from

opening wide (figure 3).

•Fit the window discharge attachment (15)

to the end of the hose (14)

•Place the air-conditioning unit at a win-

dow or French window

•Open the window a little and position the

attachment (15) as shown in fig. 2.

Setting up

GB-5751012600 16-02-2004 15:55 Pagina 7

Pinguino is equipped with an adjustable win-

dow bracket 18. If you have a sliding window,

place the bracket on the window sill, extend

the bracket fully within the window frame and

lower the window onto the bracket. Insert the

nozzle of the exhaust hose into the slot, then

connect the hose to the air conditioner

(Fig.4).

Thanks to the wing nut, it’s possible to use the

window bracket also for sliding windows. Position

the hole of the bracket to allow a correct instal-

lation of the exhaust hose (see the following

instructions).

If you have a sliding door, use the additional

set provided in order to extend the accessory

to the desired length; joining the two parts

(fig. 5), adjust the total length according to

your needs then, fit the bracket with the rele-

vant nuts, close the door and connect the

hose (fig. 6).

AIR CONDITIONING WITH SEMI-PERMA-

NENT INSTALLATION

If desired, Pinguino can also be installed on a

semi-permanent basis fig. 7.

•Fit the flange (13) supplied to the hole.

•Fix the hose (14) in the housing at the rear

of the appliance (fig 1)

•Fit the end of the hose to the flange (15)

as shown in fig. 9.

In this case it will be necessary to:

•Drill a hole in a perimeter wall or in a win-

dow pane. Observe the height limits (fig.

9) and the dimensions of the hole given in

fig. 8.

4.2" / 106 mm

MAX 45,3"

MIN 19,7"

MAX 115 cm

MIN 50 cm

When the hose (14) is not connected, the

hole can be closed off with the flange stop-

per (13).

N.B.

When operating the appliance with semi-per-

manent installation, it is advisable to leave a

door slightly ajar (even only 1cm), to ensure

free circulation of air.

DEHUMIDIFICATION

Position the appliance in the room without

inserting the air exhaust hose (14); this ensures

that the dehumidified air will be released

directly into the atmosphere.

The air emitted through the front grill will be

cold while the air from the rear will be warm

(fig. 10) thus ensuring that the room is dehu-

midified without variation in temperature.

Operation

SWITCHING THE APPLIANCE ON

Connect the appliance to the mains supply.

On the display two lines will appear indicating Stand-by mode

Press the ON/OFF button (A) and then the MODE button until the

relevant function indicator appears viz.:

Indicator C : air-conditioning

Indicator D : dehumidifying

Indicator E : ventilation

AIR-CONDITIONING FUNCTION

This function is ideal in hot, humid weather conditions when the

atmosphere requires to be cooled and dehumidified.

To ensure proper function of the appliance, after selecting the air-

conditioning function, press buttons + (F) or – (G) until the desired

temperature appears on the display.

The temperatures most suited to the atmosphere in summer vary

between (24-27°C) 75°-80°F. We do not advise selection of tem-

peratures much lower than those outside.

Select fan speed by pressing the “FAN” button (Q) until the fan

speed indicator appears:

MAX (P): if you want the maximum power of the air-conditioner to

reach the desired temperature as quickly as possible.

MIN (O): if you want to reduce the level of noise and still maintain

a good level of comfort.

SILENT (N):when minimum noise is required,

AUTO (M):if you prefer the appliance to select the fan speed for

the temperature selected on the display panel.

DEHUMIDIFYING FUNCTION

This function is ideal for reducing humidity in the atmosphere while

avoiding increases or decreases in temperature (in between sea-

sons, damp places, wet spells of weather).

When you select the dehumidifying function, the letters “ ” will

appear on the display.

The water is collected in the tank at the rear of the appliance.

When the tank is full, the appliance will stop working and the

display will show the letters “ ” (Full Tank); the tank must then be

emptied. When it is re-inserted, the appliance will re-start auto-

matically. N.B. remove the air exhaust hose (14).

In the air-conditioning function, the unit employs an exclusive con-

densation recycling system to dispose of excess moisture. In normal

conditions, condensation is disposed of automatically. When the

humidity is particularly high, an excess of condensation may built up

in the TANK . When this happens, the display will show the letters

“ “ (Full Tank); indicating that the TANK should be emptied. Whe-

never conditions of high humidity make the problem recurrent, you

may discharge the excess water directly into a drain, using the rub-

ber tube supplied. The tube should be inserted into the hole provi-

ded, after having removed the rubber stopper. (see figure).

Make sure the TANK is put back correctly otherwise the display will

continue to show the letters “ ”

GB-5751012600 16-02-2004 15:55 Pagina 11

Once the dehumidifying function has been selected, the fan

speed cannot be changed. The appliance will automatically

select the correct fan mode.

VENTILATION

Adjust the fan speed by pressing the “FAN” (Q) button, as illustra-

ted in the air conditioning function.

Bear in mind that the higher the speed, the greater the volume of

air filtered; by selecting the “Silent” speed, less air is filtered, but

the noise level is low.

“AUTO” function cannot be selected in this mode.

The display will show the fan speed selected.

PROGRAMMING THE TIMER

The timer programs the appliance to switch on and switch off. This

will save electrical energy by optimizing the operating times.

The timer is set using the buttons + (F) or – (G); these increase and

decrease by one hour at a time, but if pressed for more than 2

seconds will automatically change the time more quickly, up to a

maximum of 24 hours.

How to set the delayed start function

•Connect the appliance to the mains supply and press ON/OFF

button: next, select the required operating mode (temperatu-

re, fan speed etc.)

•Press the ON/OFF button again: the appliance will go into

stand-by mode.

•Press the timer button (I): on the display the two central seg-

ments will start to flash.

•Set the number of hours after which the appliance should swit-

ch on, by pressing the + or – buttons.

The indicator (L) on the display will continue to flash until the

appliance starts operating.

The appliance can be programmed for up to 24 hours in advance.

How to set the delayed stop function

•The appliance can be programmed for delayed stop from any

of the operating modes (air-conditioning/dehumidifying/venti-

lation.

•Press the Timer button (I): on the display the two central seg-

ments will start to flash.

•Set the number of hours after which the appliance should swit-

ch off by pressing the + or – buttons.

The indicator (L) on the display will continue to flash until the

appliance switches itself off. It will then go into Stand-by mode.
