• 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.

During the summer, you feel comfortable at a temperature of between 24 and 27^ C 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 before the air is re-emitted into the room.

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 the spring and autumn, the appliance can also be used to heat.

The efficient heat pump system provides a high heating capacity with low energy consumption.

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

AIR PURIFYING FILTERS

he appliance is fitted with a silver ion dust filter which retains the impurities in the air drawn in from the room and a 3M® electrostatic filter which retains the finest dust particles (fig. 32).

SILVER ION FILTER

The silver ion filter not just retains dust particles, but also has an efficient antibacterial action. It also greatly reduces concentrations of irritants such as pollen and spores.

The filter is treated with small particles of silver (on the scale of millionths of a millimetre) which are able to block the multiplication of and destroy any bacteria or spores they come into contact with.

3M® ELECTROSTATIC FILTER

The 3M® electrostatic filter retains the finest dust particles, thus enhancing the filtering capacity of the appliance.

To use the 3M® electrostatic filter:

A) Remove the intake grille
B) Remove the filter from the packaging
C) Use the two plastic edges of the 3M® filter to hook it to the special attachments on the dust filter already inside the intake grille.
D) Replace the grille on the appliance.
