What is Pinguino?

During the summer, you feel comfortable at a temperature of between 24 and 27^ with a relative humidity of about 50% .

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

Compared with installed models, portable air conditioners have the advantage that they can be moved from one room to another in the home or be transported from one building to another.

Hot air from the room is passed through a heat exchanger cooled by refrigerant gas. Excess heat

and moisture are removed from the air which is then re-emitted into the room cooler and dryer.

In single unit models, a small part of this air is used to cool the refrigerant gas and then, when hot and damp, is discharged outside.

In models with outdoor unit, the circuit is cooled using air from outside.

All Pinguino models can also be used in fan-only mode.

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 power 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 conditioner for operation as efficiently as possible.

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

AIR-CONDITIONING WITHOUT INSTALLATION

Just a few simple steps and your comfort is ensured with Pinguino:

• Fit the air exhaust hose 12 in the housing 7 at the back of the appliance. Insert as shown in figure A.

• Fit the window outlet 13 to the end of the hose 12.
• Place the air conditioner near a window or French window.
• Make sure the air exhaust hose is unobstructed.
• Open the window or French window slightly and position the outlet 13 as shown in figure B.

Keep the air hoses as short and free of curves as possible to avoid bottlenecks.
