What is Pinguino Pinguino and SuperPinguino

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 before, hot and moist, being discharged outside.

In suitcase models (Super-Pinguino), the circuit is cooled using the air outside.

Each Pinguino and Super-Pinguino can also be used as a fan only.

ECO by Pinguino is the late- st generation of ecological air conditioners. Pinguino does not contain gases dan- gerous to the earth's ozone layer (CFC/HCFC). In addition, thanks to the extreme efficiency of the appliance, not only does it save you money on your electric bills, but it saves the environment by not negatively contri- buting to the greenhouse effect."

When the tube 17 not attached, close the hole with the bung on the flange .16

NOTE:

When the unit is installed semi-permanently, we recommend leaving a door slightly open (1 cm is enough) to ensure an adequate exchange of air.

DEHUMIDIFICATION

Position the appliance in the room without inserting the tube; in this way the dehumidified air will exhaust directly into the room.

Turning on and Selecting functions

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Before plugging in check that:

• the mains supply corresponds to the value shown in the specifications table;
• the socket and the mains lead correspond to the power requirements of the appliance;
• the socket is suited to the plug 10 otherwise have the socket replaced;
• the socket is properly grounded. The manufactures cannot be held responsible for any damages due to failure in following normal safety procedures.

Replacement of the power cable must be carried out by qualified personnel.

AS 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:

1. Rotate the function selector knob clockwise:

- 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.

1. Now set the required temperature by rotating the room thermostat knob.

Note

The temperature is not expressed in degrees. We therefore recommend rotating the room thermostat knob to the maximum cool position. When room temperature has reached the required level, rotate the thermostat knob SLOWLY clockwise until the thermostat is activated, 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 conditioning function is temporarily interrupted and the unit continues to operate in fan only mode.

THIS UNIT EMPLOYS AN EXCLUSIVE CONDENSATION 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 INDICATOR LIGHT ⚙ 12 COMES ON INDICATING THAT THE TANK SHOULD BE EMPTIED. MAKE SURE THE TANK IS PUT BACK CORRECTLY OTHERWISE THE LIGHT WALL REMAIN ON.

AIR PURIFICATION WITH FAN

Your air conditioning unit has two special high efficiency electrostatic 3M FILTRETETM filters. These filters, active in all modes, filter out extremely fine particles (down to 0.3 thousands of a millimetre).

If you want to purify the air by ventilating the room only, rotate the function selector 13 anticlockwise.

• Place the large symbol in line with the reference mark to operate the unit in air purification mode at maximum fan speed.
• Place the small symbol ≈ in line with the reference mark to operate the unit in air purification mode at minimum fan speed.

HOW TO DEHUMIDIFY

When the appliance is working as an air conditioner, it automatically reduces the excess humidity in the air present in the room. This is eliminated through the exhaust tube .9

If only the elimination of the excess humidity in the room is desired without lowering the temperature, simply turn the function selector knob in a counterclockwise direction until the symbol is reached.

Note

In the dehumidifying mode, air colder than the room temperature will exhaust from the air exhaust grill. Conversely, air warmer than room temperature will be exhausted from the accommodation tube 5n the back side of the appliance.

** The leds will light up 3 minutes after the machine is turned on (that is, when the compressor starts to work) When in the dehumidifying mode, the appliance operates continuously. If the temperature is too low, the anti-freeze thermostat intervenes, interrupting the operation.

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 nearest 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 correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The green and yellow wire must be connected to the terminal 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.

Recommendations

Follow these recommendations to achieve maximum efficiency from your air conditioning unit:

- C lose the doors and windows in the room where the unit is functioning. The only exception is in the case of installation through 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.

- Do not use the appliance outdoors.

close doors and windows

• P rotec 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.

Cleaning

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 slightly damp cloth then drying with a dry cloth. For safety reasons, do not wash the air conditioner with water.

Precautions

Never clean with benzene, alcohol or solvents. Never spray liquid insecticide or similar. Do not use sharp instruments to clean or to speed up the defrosting of the refrigerator unit. 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 filters themselves.

To clean the filters:

1. Remove the intake grilles by rotating them outwards.

ENGLISH

To remove dust deposited on the anti-bacteria filter, use a vacuum cleaner. If very dirty, rinse repeatedly in warm water at a temperature 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.

END OF SEASON OPERATIONS

Take out the condensation tank located in the rear of the unit and empty it.

Empty the residual water by removing the bung in the drainage tube.

After replacing the bung, put the condensation tank back.

Clean the anti-bacteria filters and dry well before replacing.

BEGIN OF SEASON CHECKS

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