TIPS FOR CORRECT USE

To ensure optimal results from your air conditioner, follow these recommendations:

  • Close the windows and doors where air conditioner will be used. When installing the air conditioner semi-permanently, you should leave a door slightly open (as little as 1/2 inch - 1 cm) to guarantee proper ventilation.
  • Never use the appliance in very damp rooms (laundries for example).
  • Protect the room from direct exposure to the sun by partially closing curtains and/or blinds to make the appliance much more economical to run.
  • Never use the appliance outdoors.
    • Make sure there are no heat sources in the room.
  • Make sure the air conditioner is standing on a level surface.
  • Never rest objects of any kind on the air conditioner.
  • Never obstruct the air intake or air outlet flap (see figure below).

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning or maintenance, turn the appliance off by using the ⏻ button, then unplug from the outlet.

For safety reasons, never wash the appliance using a water jet. Clean the air filter/filters regularly.

CLEANING THE CABINET

You should clean the appliance with a slightly damp cloth then dry with a dry cloth.

Attention! Never use petrol, alcohol or solvents to clean the appliance. Never spray insecticide liquids or similar.

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER

If the filter is dirty, air circulation is compromised and the efficiency of the appliance decreases. It is therefore good practice to clean the filter at regular intervals. The frequency depends on the duration and conditions of operation. If the unit is used constantly or systematically, you are recommended to clean the filter once a week. The filter is housed in the intake grille. To clean the filter, remove as shown in fig. 8.

DELONGHI Pinguino Arctic Whisper Extreme PACEX398VUV-6ALWH - CLEANING THE AIR FILTER - 1

text_image Diagram showing airflow direction of a car air conditioner with labeled components and arrows indicating airflow direction.

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust collected on the filter. If it is very dirty, immerse in warm water and rinse a number of times. The water should never be hotter than 104^ F.

After washing the filter, allow it to dry completely before repositioning it. The filter helps capture dust and pollen.

START OF SEASON CHECKS

Make sure the power cable and plug are undamaged and the ground system is sufficient.

Follow the installation instructions precisely.

Be sure both drain plug (A10) is attached and tightly secured to the unit to prevent water leakage.

END OF SEASON OPERATIONS

To drain all water from the circuit, remove the external cap by unscrewing it in the counter clockwise direction and allow the water to drain out into a basin (fig. 9).

DELONGHI Pinguino Arctic Whisper Extreme PACEX398VUV-6ALWH - END OF SEASON OPERATIONS - 1

natural_image Diagram of a device with directional arrows indicating rotation or movement (no text or symbols)

When the appliance is empty, replace the caps.

Clean the filter and dry thoroughly before putting back.

In order to properly store the appliance at the end of the season, we suggest you cover it with the supplied end of season dust cover (B9) and you put the accessories in the relevant end of season accessories bag (B8).
