ENGLISH

During the summer, you feel comfortable at a tem-

perature of between 24 and 27° C with a relative

humidity of about 50%.

An air conditioning unit removes excess moistu-

re and heat from the room where it is loca-

ted.

Compared with installed models, porta-

ble air conditioning units have the

advantage that they can be moved

from one room to another in the home

or transported from one building to

another.

Hot air from the room is passed throu-

gh a coil cooled by refrigerant gas.

Excess heat and moisture are remo-

ved before the air is re-emitted into

the room.

In single unit models (Pinguino), a

small part of this air is used to cool the

refrigerant gas and then once hot

and moist, is discharged outside.

In models with case (SuperPinguino),

the circuit is cooled using air from outsi-

de.

All Pinguino and SuperPinguino models

can also be used in fan-only mode.

What are the Pinguino and SuperPinguino?

AIR-CONDITIONING WITHOUT INSTALLATION

Just a few simple steps and your comfort is

ensured with Pinguino:

•Fix the air discharge hose in the housing

at the back of the appliance. Insert it as

shown in figure A.

•If you have a double window, use the

suckers provided to hold the two parts of

the window together (fig. C).

•Fit the window outlet to the end of the

hose .

•Place the air conditioning unit near a win-

dow or French window.

•Make sure the air exhaust hose is unob-

structed.

•Open the window or French window sligh-

tly and position the outlet as shown in

figure B.

Preparing for use

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, check that:

•the mains power supply corresponds to the value indicated on the rating plate on the back of

the appliance;

•the mains socket and electrical circuit are adequate for the appliance;

•the mains socket matches the plug. If this is not the case, have the plug replaced;

•the mains socket is adequately earthed. Failure to follow these important safety instructions

absolves the manufacturer of all liability.

The power cable must be replaced by a qualified professional only.

The instructions below will enable you to prepare your air conditioning unit for operation as effi-

ciently as possible.

Before use, make sure the air intake and outlet grilles are unobstructed.

Keep air hoses as short and free of curves as

possible to avoid constrictions.

ENGLISH

Preparing for use

AIR-CONDITIONING WITH INSTALLATION

If required, the Pinguino can also be installed

semi-permanently.

Proceed as follows:

•Drill a hole in an outside wall or through a

window pane. Respect the height and

dimensions of the hole given in figure E-F.

30 cm

106

MAX100 cm

MIN 35 cm

Whenever the hose is not fitted, the hole

can be closed with the flange cap .

Note:

When installing the air conditioning unit semi-

permanently, you should leave a door slightly

open (as little as 1 cm) to guarantee correct

ventilation.

DEHUMIDIFYING

Place the appliance in the room without fit-

ting the hose. The dehumidified air will thus be

released directly into the atmosphere.

Cold air will come out of the front grill and hot

air from the back grill (fig. G), thus guaran-

teeing efficient dehumidifying.

In addition to the air exhaust hose , a

second hose is available as an accessory to

take air from outside rather than inside the

room.

Turning on and selecting the functions

HOW TO USE AS AN AIR CONDITIONER

When the air conditioning unit is off, the func-

tion selector is in the “●●” position. To use the

unit in air conditioning mode, proceed as fol-

lows:

1. Turn the function selector knob clockwise:

•When the large crystal symbol is lined

up with the reference mark on the

appliance, the unit will operate in air con-

ditioning mode at maximum fan speed.

•When the small crystal symbol is lined

up with the reference mark on the

appliance, the unit will operate in air con-

ditioning mode at minimum fan speed

2. Choose the required temperature by tur-

ning the room thermostat dial.

Note

The temperature is not indicated in degrees.

We therefore suggest you turn the room ther-

mostat dial to the maximum cold position.

When the temperature in the room is comfor-

table, turn the thermostat slowly anticlockwi-

se until the thermostat trips and turns the air

conditioning off.

This will programme the appliance to the

exact level of comfort which will then be

automatically maintained by the thermostat,

at the same time guaranteeing considerable

energy savings. Whenever the air conditioner

reaches the required temperature, it conti-

nues to operate in fan only mode.

THIS APPLIANCE USES AN EXCLUSIVE CON-

DENSATE RECYCLING SYSTEM TO ELIMINA-

TE EXCESS MOISTURE.

IN NORMAL CONDITIONS, CONDENSATE IS

ELIMINATED AUTOMATICALLY.

WHEN HUMIDITY IS HIGH, THERE MAY BE

EXCESS CONDENSATE IN THE TANK. INDI-

CATOR LIGHT COMES ON AND YOU

SHOULD EMPTY THE TANK.

MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE TANK BACK COR-

RECTLY OR INDICATOR LIGHT WILL

REMAIN ON.

HOW TO USE AS A FAN

If you want to use the appliance as a fan

only, turn the function selector anti-

clockwise to the symbol.

HOW TO USE AS A DEHUMIDIFIER

When the appliance is operating in air condi-

tioning mode, it automatically reduces excess

moisture in the air, while at the same time lowe-

ring room temperature.

If you want to remove excess moisture without

lowering the temperature, remove the air

exhaust hose and turn the function selector

anticlockwise to the symbol.

Note

In dehumidifying mode, the air coming out of

the air discharge grill is colder than the air in

the room while the air coming out of the hose

housing at the back of the appliance is

hotter.
