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.

- Place the unit near a window or a French window.
- Open the window or French window slightly and place the window attachment as shown in figure B.

Setting up

AIR CONDITIONING WITH INSTALLATION

Pinguino can also be semi-permanently installed

To install, proceed as follows:

Make a hole in a wall communicating with the outside or through the pane of a window. Respect the height and dimensions given in figure D

in a window pane

in the wood sill of a window

in the wall: for optimum results, insulate the section of the wall with suitable insulating material.

• Fit the flange splied to the hole.
  Fix the tube the coupling on the back of the unit (figure A).
• Attach the end of the tube to 17 flange shown in the figure E.

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, 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.

If when selecting the air-conditioning function while concurrently there would be a decrease in the voltage of the electrical current, a security device could intervene. This blocks the functioning of the refrigerator circuit, in a way that the appliance operates as if it were in the ventilation/purification mode. In order to restore the air-conditioning function, you must turn off the appliance and remove the plug from the outlet for at least thirty seconds. Then plug it back in.

FORCED OPERATIONS

This is a way of operating to be selected if there are problems with the remote control (broken or lost, or the batteries run-down).

Push the button start the unit and then press it again to get the sequence of the different operational procedures (air-conditioning, dehumidifying, ventilation, full auto, turn off) with an automatic setting.

Description of the remote control

REMOTE CONTROL

Inserting the batteries

• Push down and forward on the case's pebbled cover. The cover will lift up automatically.
• Insert two new non-rechargeable batteries, being careful to place them in the correct positions (+) and (-).
• Put the cover back on, letting it slide into its original position.
• The Display will show all of the remote control's symbols for several seconds.

At this point the clock on the display will start to blink showing 12:00 o'clock; at this point set the correct time.

Note: WE SUGGEST USING ALKALINE BATTERIES.

If the remote control is to be replaced or thrown away, the batteries must be removed and disposed of in accordance with the current laws as it represents an environmental hazard.

SETTING THE CLOCK

• If the time is not set within two minutes of the reset or of battery replacement, the remote control will automatically read 12:00.
• To programme the hour, push the keys to move ahead or back. The segments are of one minute. If you hold the buttons down, the minute designations will run more quickly.
• The clock will continue to blink. Push the SET button to confirm the time set: the clock will then stop blinking.
• If you have to adjust the time, you must push the RESET button and then enter the correct time. (There is no other way to do this).

PROPER USE

• Point the remote control toward the air-conditioner's signal receiver.
  Maximum distance: about seven (7) metres (without any obstacle between remote control and receiver).
• The remote control must be handled with great care: do not drop it, expose it to direct sunlight, or leave it close to heat sources.

Selecting functions

AIR-CONDITIONING FUNCTION

This operation is ideal on especially hot days.

• First press the ① button to turn the appliance on. A beep will indicate that the air-conditioner has turned on, and the symbol will begin to blink.
• Now press the MODE button until the air-conditioning symbol appears on the display.
• At this point, set the temperature: to lower it, press the button.
  To select the fan speed, simply press the button repeatedly until you obtain the speed desired (minimum, medium, maximum, automatic and silent).

Note:

In air conditioning mode, the appliance automatically removes excess humidity from the atmosphere.

It is a good idea to activate this operation when there is high humidity.

• First press the ① button to turn the appliance on. A beep will indicate that the air-conditioner has turned on and the symbol will begin to blink.
• Now press the MODE button until the dehumidifying symbol appears on the display.

Note:

It is important to set the temperature so that it is lower than the room temperature: use the button until you get a temperature 4^ lower than that in the room.

When that takes place, the air-conditioning function will switch on. If the temperature difference between the room and that set up is already 4^ or less, the dehumidifying operation alone will immediately switch on.

To select the fan speed, simply press the button until you get the desired speed.

Note:

When operating in dehumidification only mode, it is normal for the appliance to come on and go off at intervals.

Selecting functions

VENTILATION FUNCTION/PURIFICATION

On humid but not particularly hot days, it may be sufficient to operate the appliance in ventilation/purification mode.

• Press the button. A beep will indicate that the air-conditioner has turned on, and the symbol will begin to blink.
• Now press the MODE button until the ventilation symbol appears on the display.
• Once the ventilation has been activated, press the button repeatedly until you get the desired fan speed.

It should be pointed out that when the automatic ventilation functions are activated, the appliance itself will choose the proper speed.

HEATING FUNCTION

• Press the button. A beep will indicate that the air-conditioner has turned on, and the symbol will begin to blink.
• Then select the MODE switch until the display shows the heating-function symbol.
• At this point the desired temperature should be set: to reduce temperature press the button.

The fan speed, in the heating mode, cannot be regulated manually, only automatically.

FULL AUTO FUNCTION

FULL AUTO automatically activates the air-conditioner, including the temperature, fan speed thus assuring the best possible conditions for the room.

• Press the button. A beep will indicate that the air-conditioner has turned on, and the symbol will begin to blink.
• Now use the MODE button until the FULL AUTO symbol appears on the display.

The appliance will automatically establish the optimum mode (air conditioning, dehumidification, ventilation) and speed.

Selecting functions

AUTOMATIC SLEEP FUNCTION

Ideal for those wanting a peaceful night's sleep in a perfectly air-conditioned room.

• Press the button to start the appliance.
• A beep will indicate that the air-conditioner has turned on, and the symbol will begin to blink.
• Now use the MODE button until you get the symbol for the function you want.
• Next select the desired temperature by pushing the buttons.
• Now press the to set up the night-time function: the symbol will appear. By pushing the button repeatedly until you get the number of hours you want (from 1 to 7), you will set the time for the appliance to switch off.

In this function, the fan functions automatically.

N.B: The night-time function makes it possible to keep a room at a perfect temperature, thus preventing an excessive rise or a drop in temperature while the silent operation is in effect. The air-flow will decrease, while the room temperature will vary gradually to provide the ideal condition: during the air-conditioning stage, the temperature will increase by 1^ , after 30 minutes and by 2^ , after one hour.

PROGRAMMING THE TIMER

Programming the ON function

With the air-conditioner already running, press the ON button: the ON TIME symbol will start blinking and the clock will read 12:00.

Remember that the timer turns the air-conditioner on, thereby resetting all the functions and procedures operating before the appliance was last turned off.

• If the programming is the one you want, simply press the button.
• The increase or decrease will be in ten-minute (10-minute) segments for each press of the button, whereas if you hold the button down the time will change more quickly.
• The ON TIME marking will continue to blink. By pressing down on the SET button again, you will get confirmation of the time set for the appliance to turn on.
• To cancel the programming, push the ON button: the ON TIME marking will blink while showing the turn-on time.
• At this point, use the CANCEL button: the clock will show the correct time at that moment.

Programming the turn-off function

The procedure for programming the turn-off and cancellation operations is similar to the one just described: the only difference is that you must push the OFF instead of the ON button.

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.

• Do not use the appliance outdoors.
• Keep the appliance a safe distance from combustible surfaces

• 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:

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.

2.Remove the first FILTRETE™ filter (white).
3.Remove the filter holder holding the antibacteria filter by unhooking it from the external grille.

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.

Do not clean the FILTRETE™ filter as this would reduce its filtering capacity.

END OF SEASON OPERATIONS

Take out the condensation basin 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 basin back.

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

Protect the unit from dust by covering with a plastic bag.

BEGIN OF SEASON CHECKS

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