I 24-07-2001 15:56 Pagina 1920 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 refrige- rant gas, losing excess heat and moisture before being discharged again into the room. In single unit models (Pin- guino), a small part of this air is used to cool the refri- gerant gas before, hot and moist, being dischar- ged outside. In suitcase models (Super- Pinguino), the circuit is coo- led using the air outside. Each Pinguino and SuperPin- guino can also be used as a fan only.

• 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 dama- ges due to failure in following normal safety procedures. 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/puri- fication 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. Replacement of the power cable must be carried out by qualified personnel. I 24-07-2001 15:59 Pagina 2425 ENGLISH Warning lights/ Forced operations THE LEDS Led displays come on depending on the selected function or as warning of possible anomalies. ANOMALY RED LIGHT

AIR-CONDITIONING --on DEHUMIDIFYING on - on PURIFYING - on - HEATING on -- FULL AUTO TIMER As soon as this function is selected, all LED displays will remain on for some seconds until the controlunit selects which mode to function in (whether air-conditioning, dehumidifier, fan or heater).All 3 LEDs remain on when machine is off, if at least one TIMER function is selected. (1) A flashing LED indicator means that the anti-bacterial filters need cleaning. To switch off the LED indicator, after having cleaned the filters, press the manual function button until a beep followed by a double-beep is heard. This procedure can be carried out also while the unit is operating. 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 to 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.

• Push down and forward on the case’s pebbled cover. The cover will lift up auto- matically.

• Insert two new non-rechargeable batte- ries, 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 con- trol'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 BATTE- RIES. If the remote control is to be replaced or thrown away, the batteries must be remo- ved and disposed of in accordance with the current laws as it represents an environ- mental hazard.

• 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 seg- ments 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. I 24-07-2001 15:59 Pagina 2627 ENGLISH Selecting functions AIR-CONDITIONING FUNCTION This operation is ideal on especially hot days.

• First press the button to turn the appliance on. A beep will indicate that the air-conditioner has turned on, and the sym- bol 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 but- ton.

• To select the fan speed, simply press the button repeatedly until you obtain the speed desired (minimum, medium, maxi- mum, automatic and silent). Note: In air conditioning mode, the appliance automatically removes excess humidity from the atmosphere. DEHUMIDIFYING FUNCTION It is a good idea to activate this operation when there is high humi- dity.

• First press the button to turn the appliance on. A beep will indicate that the air-conditioner has turned on and the sym- bol 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° C. 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° C. or less, the dehumidifying operation alone will imme- diately 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. I 24-07-2001 15:59 Pagina 2728 Selecting functions

VENTILATION FUNCTION/PURIFICATION

On humid but not particularly hot days, it may be sufficient to ope- rate 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 func- tions 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 automatically activates the air-conditioner, including the temperature, fan speed thus assuring the best possible condi- tions 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. I 24-07-2001 15:59 Pagina 2829 ENGLISH 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 func- tion you want.

• Next select the desired temperature by pushing the but- tons.

• Now press the to set up the night-time function: the sym- bol 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 temperatu-re, thus preventing an excessive rise or a drop in temperature while the silent ope-ration is in effect. The air-flow will decrease, while the room temperature will varygradually to provide the ideal condition: during the air-conditioning stage, the tem- perature will increase by 1° C. after 30 minutes and by 2° C. 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 reset- ting all the functions and procedures operating before the applian- ce 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) seg- ments for each press of the button, whereas if you hold the but- ton 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 cor- rect time at that moment. Programming the turn-off function The procedure for programming the turn-off and cancellation ope- rations is similar to the one just described: the only difference is that you must push the OFF instead of the ON button. I 24-07-2001 15:59 Pagina 2930 Recommendations 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.

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

• Do not use the appliance outdoors.

• Keep the appliance a safe distance from combustible surfaces 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.

I 24-07-2001 15:59 Pagina 3031 ENGLISH intake grilleanti-bacteriafilterfiltrete™filter 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. To remove dust deposited on the anti-bacte- ria 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.

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 condensa- tion 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. fig. F Cleaning

2.Remove the first FILTRETE™ filter (white). 3.Remove the filter holder holding the anti- bacteria filter by unhooking it from the exter- nal grille. I 24-07-2001 15:59 Pagina 3132 Troubleshooting

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. 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 theevent 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 EARTHEDIMPORTANTThe wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance withthe following code:Green and yellow EarthBlue NeutralBrown LiveAs the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not corre-spond with the coloured markings identifying the terminalsin 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 withthe letter N or coloured black.The brown wire must be connected to the terminal markedwith the letter L or coloured red.
