How does your pinguino work

During the summer, optimum comfort is achieved with a temperature of around 24^ and 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, removing excess heat and moisture before being discharged again into the room.

In single unit models, a small amount of this air is used to cool the refrigerant gas, then the hot and moist air discharged outside.

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

FOR INSTANT TEMPORARY USAGE

With just a few simple operations, Pinguino will restore comfortable conditions in your room:

Fix the air exhaust hose to1he coupling 3 on the back of the unit as shown in figu-re A.

• W ith a double casement window, use the suckers p19vided to hold the two halves of the window together (fig. C).

Fix the window attachment to 17e end of the hose 18
- Place the unit near a window, French window or door.
- Open the window, French window or door slightly and place the window attachment 20 as shown in figure B.

Setting up

AIR CONDITIONING WITH INSTALLATION

For more efficient use Pinguino can also be semi-permanently installed

To install, proceed as follows:

Make a hole in an outside wall or through the pane of a window. Check 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 lied to the hole.
  Fix the hose to the coupling on the back of the unit (figure A).
• Attach the end of the tube to the flange shown in the figure E.

When the hose hot 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 (only for mod F14 and F15)

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

HEATING (only for mod F15)

Position the appliance in the room, inserting the cover instead of the hose. 17

Turning on and Selecting functions

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Before inserting the plug check that:

• the mains supply corresponds to the power supply shown on the rating plate;
• 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 earthed. 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.

AIR CONDITIONING FUNCTIONS

With the unit turned off, the function selector 9 is in the " " 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 [15]

Note

The temperature is not expressed in degrees. We therefore recommend rotating the room thermostat dial to the maximum cool position. When room temperature has reached the required level, rotate the thermostat dial 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.

Note: cool air is discharged from grill only after a delay of three to five minutes.

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 5. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE INDICATOR LIGHT COINS ON INDICATING THAT

THE TANK SHOULD BE EMPTIED. ONLY FOR SOME MODEL:WHENEVER CONDITIONS OF HIGH HUMIDITY MAKE THE PROBLEM RECURRENT, YOU MAY DISCHARGE THE EXCESS WATER DIRECTLY INTO A DRAIN, USING A RUBBER TUBE WITH AN INTERNAL DIAMETER OF 12 MM;THE TUBE SHOULD BE INSERTED INTO THE HOLE PROVIDED, AFTER HAVING REMOVED THE RUBBER STOPPER. (see figure below).

MAKE SURE THE TANK IS PUT BACK CORRECTLY OTHERWISE THE LIGHT WILL REMAIN ON.

AIR PURIFICATION WITH FAN

Your air conditioning unit has two special high efficiency electrostatic 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 9 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.

Functions/Warning lights

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 6

Only for some models: If only the elimination of the excess humidity in the room is desired without lowering the temperature, simply turn the function selector in a counter clockwise direction until the symbol is reached.

Note

In the dehumidifying mode, air colder than the room temperature will exhaust from the air exhaust grill.1 Conversely, air warmer than room temperature will be exhausted from the accommodation tube n the back side of the appliance.

HEATING (only for mod. F15)

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 position. When the temperature in the room reaches the comfort level desired, the thermostat knob may be turned SLOWLY in a counter clockwise direction until the thermostat intervenes, turning off the operation. This program the unit to the precise level of comfort required which will then be automatically maintained by the thermostat with considerable energy savings.

TURN THE APPLIANCE OFF

TO TURN THE UNIT OFF COMPLETELY, SET THE FUNCTION SELECTOR TO THE *POSITION AND UNPLUG FROM THE MAINS

exchange of air.

• P 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 outlet.1
  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. 22b

Cleaning

Before cleaning or maintaining the unit, always turn the unit off by placing the selector in the "●" position and unplugging from the mains socket.

CLEANING THE 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 running 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-dust filter weekly.
2. Replace the air purification filters at the end of each season or when spent (follow the instructions on the unit near the filter).

The filters are located behind the two intake grilles. The grilles in fact house the filters themselves.

To clean the filters:

1. Remove the intake grills on either side of the appliance by rotating them outwards.

2.Remove the first air purification filter (white).
3.Remove the filter holder holding the antidust filter by unhooking it from the intake grill.

To remove dust deposited on the anti-dust 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 intake grill, then hook the latter to the unit.

END OF SEASON OPERATIONS

Take out the condensation basin located in side the unit and empty it.

Empty the residual water by removing the bung in the drainage tube 6

After replacing the bung, put the condensation tank back. 5

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

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

START OF SEASON CHECKS

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