What is Pinguino Pinguino and SuperPinguino

During the summer, optimum comfort is achieved with a temperature of between 24 and 27^ 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 (SuperPinguino), the circuit is cooled using the air outside.

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

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

Setting up

EXTERNALUNIT

The external unit may be placed on a terrace or balcony, in which case the brackets need not be used.

The external unit can be attached to a wall with the accessories included as follows:

1) Attach the bracket 15 to the wall while taking care to place it as indicated in the drawing. Use the included template located on the plastic cover in order to drill the holes.

2) Screw the support blocks 16 the external unit with the included M4mm screws 20 while taking care to place them so that the hole for the screws is on the upper side.

3) Attach the external unit to the bracket by means of the M6mm screws.

For temporary installation it is possible to hang the external unit as illustrated in the drawing. In this case, use the included straps by attaching them to the eye hooks 18

Before inserting the eye hooks remove the rubber plugs.

The external unit may be installed above or at the same height as the internal unit, on the condition that the difference is no more than 1.5m

The suction and air-delivery portions of external unit must not be blocked by obstacles of any nature.

The distance between the back of the appliance and the wall must be six (6) cm. The condensation which forms while this appliance is running (summertime operations) is disposed of by evaporation from the external unit.

If the humidity is too high (in special cases), you must use the drainage coupling provided 21 to get rid of condensation. This device must be mounted on the bottom of the external unit

(see drawing) after the rubber plug has been removed.

We strongly recommend that you protect the external unit from rain, snow, direct sunlight and water dripping from the roof.

Turning on and Selecting functions

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

1. 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, 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.

1. Before setting the required function, check that the timer switch is on 1 (manual).

If you want to use the timer, turn the switch to the intermediate position

TIMER: SETTING THE TIME

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.

N.B.: never rotate the face in the opposite direction!

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.

TIMER: PROGRAMMING

1) Set the times when the unit will function by pushing the teeth in the required interval towards the outside (each tooth represents 15 minutes).
3) Check that the timer indicates the exact time (see setting the time).
4) Choose the required function according to the instructions on the following page.

In this mode, the unit will repeat the set programme every day.

N.B.: It is not necessary to modify the programme to exclude "timer" operation. Just turn the switch to 1 (manual).

Selecting functions

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:

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

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

4. 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.

VENTILATION

Rotate the function selector 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.

TO TURN THE UNIT OFF COMPLETELY, SET THE FUNCTION SELECTOR TO THE "O" POSITION AND UNPLUG FROM THE MAINS.

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 13 COMES ON INDICATING THAT THE TANK SHOULD BE EMPTIED.

THE START OF THE FUNCTIONS MAY UNDERGO SLIGHT DELAYS WITH RESPECT TO THE ROTATION OF THE SELECTOR.

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 an 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.

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and yellow:

Blue:

Brown:

Earth

Neutral

Live

If the plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be refitted 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 instructions provided below:

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:

• Close 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 install the heater in humid environments (es.laundry).

• Do not use outdoors.

• 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.

lower the blinds or draw the curtains

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

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.

CLEANING THE AIR FILTERS.

To maintain the air conditioning unit at peak efficiency, you are recommended to clean the anti-bacteria filter weekly.

The air purification filters are located behind the two intake grilles.

To clean the filters:

1.Remove the intake grilles by rotating them outwards. (see fig.F)

fig.F

1. Remove the filter holder holding the antibacteria filter by unhooking it from the external grille (see fig. G)

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^ .

After washing, dry the filter. To replace, put the filters back into the filter holder, then hook the latter to the unit.

Your machine is predisposed for use with FILTRETE filters which remove impurities up to 0.1 micron in size, filtering particles of every kind, even bacteria. If necessary you can buy this product separately as a replacement part in authorized service centers.

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 11

Take out the condensation tank located in the rear of the unit and empty it. After replacing the bung, put the condensation tank back.

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