I 8-08-2001 9:27 Pagina 1718 During the summer, optimum comfort is achieved with a temperature of between 24 and 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 single unit models (Pinguino), a small part of this air is used to cool the refrigerant gas befo- re, hot and moist, being discharged outside. In suitcase models (Super- Pinguino), the circuit is cooled using the air outsi- de. Each Pinguino and Super- Pinguino can also be used as a fan only.

USING THE RAPID COUPLINGS

(models F400 and F300 only) As an alternative to the methods described above, the sheath connecting the external and internal units can be passed through a 6 cm diameter hole in a wall communicating with the outside. Setting up NB: Leave at least 30 cm between the wall and the appliance. b) Through a small crack (5.5 cm x 2.5 cm) in the bottom of a door or the frame of a window, using the sheath frame pro- vided.

Install the appliance inside the room to be air conditioned, usually near a window or a peri- meter wall. The internal unit must be located on the level. Also use the wheel blocks supplied. The intake zone (intake grill and emission zone (outlet grill ) of the internal unit should be kept clear of obstacles.

The sheath connecting the external and internal units can be passed: a) Through the crack of a window or door left ajar. Use the suckers to prevent it from opening further.

1) Unplug the appliance from the main.

2) Remove the handle by undoing the two

metric screws then remove the front panel.

3) Remove the “U”-stay by undoing the two

4) Remove the sheath clip by undoing the

5) Use a number 24 spanner to undo the

rotating union on the coupling. At the same time, use a number 21 spanner to hold the end of the flexible pipe steady. Repeat for the second union using a num- ber 24 and a number 19 spanner.

6) Disconnect the condensate pipe from the

Avoid tight curves in the connection sheath Reconnecting the sheath in models F400 and F300 To reconnect the ends of the connecting sheath to the internal unit, repeat operations 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 in reverse order, observing the following precautions:

• Before passing the sheath through the hole in the wall, protect the threaded ends of the rapid couplings with insulating tape or similar.

• Fit the top two refrigerant couplings to the bottom two and hand tighten them for several turns. Check they fit well before tightening with the spanners used previou- sly

• After connecting the two refrigerant cou- plings, fix the stays.

• Check the seal of the refrigerant connec- tions by covering the joins with a little soapy water. No soap bubbles should form. Attention We recommend that disconnection and con- nection of the rapid couplings be carried out by qualified personnel. I 8-08-2001 9:30 Pagina 2122 Setting up

PREPARING THE EXTERNAL UNIT

The external unit can be placed on a terrace or balcony. In this case, the brackets should not be used. The external unit can also be hung on a wall using the brackets . Proceed as follows: 1)Fix the bracket to the wall, taking care to position it as indicated in the figure. To make the holes, use the jig on the cover of the polysty- rene packaging

2) Screw the support

blocks to the exter- nal unit using the M4mm screws sup- plied (taking care to position them with the hole for the screw on the top).

3) Hook the external unit

to the brackets, fixing it with the M6mm screw

Alternatively, for temporary installation, the external unit can be suspended as shown in the figure. In this case, use the belts sup- plied hooked to the eyes ; Before inser- ting the eyes, remove the rubber bungs. The external unit can be installed above or at the same level as the internal unit, providing the difference in level is not greater than 1.5 m. The air intake and outlet of the external unit should be kept clear of obstacles. Leave at least 6 cm between the wall and the appliance. The drops of condensation formed during the air conditioning function (summer usage) is in part drained by evaporation by the external unit. The residual condensation exits the appliance through the hole at the base of the external unit. It is possible to utilise the condensation drainage pipe- fitting in order to make the condensa- tion flow throu- gh a common rubber tube (not included). The drainage pipe-fitting must be assembled onto the base of external unit (see illustration). The external unit should be protected from rain, snow, drips from the roof and the sun.

Wheel Coupling Seal I 8-08-2001 9:30 Pagina 2223 ENGLISH Turning on and selecting the functions

1. Before plugging the appliance into the

electrical main, check that:

• mains voltage conforms to the value indi- cated on the rating plate on the back of the appliance;

• the socket and power line are adequate for the required load;

• the socket is the right type for the plug, otherwise have the socket replaced;

• the socket is connected to an efficient earth installation. Failure to observe this accident prevention rule absolves the manufacturer of all liability.

As with all clocks, the programmer/timer must be set to the right time. If it is 16.00, rotate the pointers clockwise (follow the direction of the arrow) until you reach 16.00 p.m.. NB: never rotate the face in the opposite direction!

1) Set the times when the unit will function by

pushing the teeth in the required interval towards the outside (each tooth repre- sents 15 minutes).

2) Check that the timer indicates the exact

time (see setting the time).

3) Choose the required function according

to the instructions on the following page. The timer is an electric clock and only works while the unit is connected to the mains. When it is unplugged or there is no electricity, the timer stops (the clock is “slow”) and must be put right.

Period of operation Example: from 7 to 9 In this mode, the unit will repeat the set pro- gramme every day. N.B.: It is not necessary to modify the pro- gramme to exclude “timer” operation. Just turn the switch to 1 (manual).

2. Before setting the required function, check

that the switch on the timer is in position 1 (manual). If you wish to use the timer, position the switch in the intermediate position .

Replacement of the power cable must be carried out by qualified personnel. I 8-08-2001 9:30 Pagina 23AS AIR CONDITIONER With the unit turned off, the function selector is in the “O” position. To turn the unit on in air conditioning mode, proceed as follows:

• Place the large crystal symbol in line with the reference mark to operate the unit in air conditioning mode at maximum fan speed.

• Place the small crystal symbol in line with the reference mark to operate the unit in air conditioning mode at minimum fan speed.

2. Now set the required temperature by rota-

ting the room thermostat knob. Note The temperature is not expressed in degrees. We therefore recommend rotating the room thermostat knob to the maximum cool posi- tion. When room temperature has reached the required level, rotate the thermostat knob slowly clockwise until the thermostat is activa- ted, turning the unit off. This programs the unit to the precise level of comfort required which will then be automatically maintained by the thermostat with considerable energy savings. When regulating the thermostat, the air con- ditioning function is temporarily interrupted and the unit continues to operate in fan only mode.

MAY BUILT UP IN THE TANK. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE INDICATOR LIGHT .

Your air conditioning unit has two special high efficiency electrostatic 3M FILTRETE™ filters. These filters, active in all modes, filter out extremely fine particles (down to 0.3 thou- sands of a millimetre). If you want to purify the air by ventilating the room only, rotate the function selector anticlockwise.

• Place the large symbol in line with the reference mark to operate the unit in air puri- fication mode at maximum fan speed.

• Place the small symbol in line with the reference mark to operate the unit in air puri- fication mode at minimum fan speed.

I 8-08-2001 9:30 Pagina 2425 ENGLISH Functions/Warning lights HEATING (mod. F300) Rotate the function selector knob counter clockwise to the symbol: Note The temperature is not expressed in degrees. We therefore recommend rotating the room thermostat knob to the maximum heat posi- tion. When the temperature in the room rea- ches the comfort level desired, the thermo- stat knob may be turned SLOWLY in a counter clockwise direction until the thermostat inter- venes, turning off the operation. This pro- grams the unit to the precise level of comfort required which will then be automatically maintained by the thermostat with conside- rable energy savings. When regulating the thermostat, the air conditioning function is temporarily interrupted and the unit conti- nues to operate in fan only mode.

TURN THE APPLIANCE OFF

• The leds will light up 3 minutes after the machine is turned on (that is, when the compressor starts to work). They will turn off when the temperature set by the thermostat is reached. I 8-08-2001 9:30 Pagina 2526 Follow these recommendations to achieve maximum efficiency from your air conditio- ning unit:

• Close the doors and windows in the room where the unit is functioning. The only exception is in the case of installation throu- gh a hole in the wall. In this case, you are recommended to allow a small amount of air to enter through a door or window to guarantee an adequate exchange of air.

• Protect the room from direct exposure to the sun’s rays by drawing the curtains and/or partially lowering the blinds so as to maximise energy savings.

• Do not rest objects on the air conditioning unit.

• Do not obstruct the air intake or outlet.

• Make sure there are no heat sources in the room. Recommendations close doors and windows lower the blinds or draw the curtains do not cover

• Make sure the unit is located on a level floor. If necessary, place the two blocking devices under the front wheels.

• Do not install the heater in humid environ- ments.

• Do not use the appliance outdoors.

Mod. F300: Keep the appliance a safe distance from combustible surfaces I 8-08-2001 9:30 Pagina 2627 ENGLISH Before cleaning or maintenance, always turn the unit off by placing the selector in the “O” position and unplug from the mains.

CLEANING THE EXTERNAL UNIT

We recommend cleaning the unit with a sli- ghtly damp cloth then drying with a dry cloth. For safety reasons, do not wash the air condi- tioner with water. Precautions Never clean with benzene, alcohol or sol- vents. Never spray liquid insecticide or similar. CLEANING THE AIR FILTERS. To maintain the air conditioning unit at peak efficiency, you are recommended to:

1. Clean the anti-bacteria filter weekly.

2. Replace the FILTRETE™ filter at the end of

each season or when spent (follow the instructions on the unit near the filter). The air purification filters are located behind the two intake grilles. The grilles in fact house the fil- ters themselves. To clean the filters: 1.Remove the intake grilles by rotating them outwards.

3. To remove dust deposited on the anti-bac-

teria filter, use a vacuum cleaner. If very dirty, rinse repeatedly in warm water at a tempe- rature of not more than 40°C. After washing, dry the filter. To replace, put the filters back into the filter holder, then hook the latter to the unit. Do not clean the FILTRETE™ filter as this would reduce its filtering capacity.

BEGIN OF SEASON CHECKS

Check that the power cable and socket are undamaged and that the earth installation is efficient. Meticulously observe the installation norms.

END OF SEASON OPERATIONS

Empty the residual water by removing the bung in the drainage tube . Take out the condensation tank located in the rear of the unit and empty it. After repla- cing the bung, put the condensation tank back. Clean the anti-bacteria filters and dry well before replacing. Protect the unit from dust by covering with a plastic bag.

2. Remove the first FILTRETE™ filter (white).

Dimensions of internal unit:

• Standard conditions: Room temperature 27°C 47% relative humidity Outside temperature 35°C 41% relative humidity This appliance contains substances which, if liberated into the atmosphere, would damage the ozone layer. Care should therefore be taken not to perforate the refrigerant circuit. At the end of its working life, delivery the air conditioning unit to a special collection centre. RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS Room temperature 21 ÷ 32°C Outside temperature 21 ÷ 43°C ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (U.K. ONLY) A) If your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incorporate a 13 Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket, the plug should be cut off from the mains lead, and on appropriate plug fitted, as below. warning: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere in the house as this could cause a shock hazard. With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must be protected by a 15 Amp fuse. If the plug is a moulded- on type, the fuse cover must be re-fitted when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse to BS 1362. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must NOT be used until a replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your nea- rest electrical dealer. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that as marked on the base of the plug. B) If your appliance is not fitted with a plug, please follow the instructins provided below: WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED IMPORTANT The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green and yellow Earth Blue Neutral Brown Live As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not corre- spond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The green and yellow wire must be connected to the termi- nal in the plug marked with the letter E or the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow. The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured black. The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured red.
