uring 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 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 air, is being
discharged outside.
In suitcase models (SuperPinguino), the circuit is
cooled using the air outside.

AIR CONDITIONING WITHOUT PERMANENT
INST ALLATION
Only a few simple steps are necessary to
obtain the comfort offered by Pinguino.
• Fit the air exhaust hose (14) in its housing (5)
at the rear of the appliance as shown in fig.1
• If you have a double window, use the
suckers (16) supplied to keep the panes from
opening wide (figure 3).
• Fit the window discharge attachment (15)
to the end of the hose (14)
• Place the air-conditioning unit at a window or French window
• Open the window a little and position the
attachment (15) as shown in fig. 2.

AIR CONDITIONING WITH SEMI-PERMANENT INSTALLATION
If desired, Pinguino can also be installed on a
semi-permanent basis.
• Fit the flange (13) supplied to the hole.
• Fix the hose (14) in the housing at the rear
of the appliance (fig 1)
• Fit the end of the hose to the flange (15)
as shown in fig. 5.
In this case it will be necessary to:
• Drill a hole in a perimeter wall or in a window pane. Observe the height limits (fig.
5) and the dimensions of the hole given in
fig.4.
When the hose (14) is not connected, the
hole can be closed off with the flange stopper (12).
N.B.
When operating the appliance with semi-permanent installation, it is advisable to leave a
door slightly ajar (even only 1cm), to ensure
free circulation of air.

DEHUMIDIFICATION
Position the appliance in the room without
inserting the air exhaust hose (14); this ensures
that the dehumidified air will be released
directly into the atmosphere.
The air emitted through the front grill will be
cold while the air from the rear will be warm
(fig. 6) thus ensuring that the room is dehumidified without variation in temperature.
