• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cable.

• Do not install the appliance in rooms containing gas, oil or sulphur. Do not install near sour­ces of heat

• Keep the appliance at least 50 cm away from flammable substances (alcohol etc) or pres­surised containers (eg aerosol cans).

• Do not rest heavy or hot objects on top of the appliance.

• Clean the air filter at least once a week.

• Avoid using heating appliances near the air conditioner.

• Always transport the appliance upright or resting on one side. Before moving the applian­ce, empty the internal circuit completely of water. After moving the appliance, wait at least
1 hour before starting it.

• When putting the appliance away, do not cover with plastic bags.

• The materials used for packaging can be recycled. You are therefore recommended to dis­pose of them in special differentiated waste collection containers.

• At the end of its working life, consign the appliance to a specialist collection centre.

• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised
technical service centre in order to avoid all risk.

• Before transporting the appliance, completely empty the internal circuit of water by pres­sing the MODE and FAN buttons simultaneously for a few seconds without remo-
ving the tank. Then empty the tank

• Read the warnings carefully.

• When defrosting or cleaning, use only the implements recommended by
the manufacturer.

• The appliance must be placed in a room without continuously operating sources of ignition
(for example: open flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater).

• Do not pierce or burn.

• Refrigerant gas may be odourless.

• The appliance must be installed, used and stored in a room with a surface area greater
than 15 m

2

.

• This appliance contains 300 g of R290 refrigerant gas.

• R290 refrigerant gas complies with European environmental directives. Do not perforate
any of the components in the refrigerant circuit.

• If the appliance is installed, used or stored in an unventilated room, the room must be such
as to prevent stagnation of possible leaks of refrigerant gas as there could be a danger of

GB

20

fire or explosion hazard should the refrigerant come into contact with electric heaters, sto­ves or other sources of ignition.

• The appliance must be stored in such a way as to prevent mechanical faults.

• Persons working on a refrigerant circuit must have the relative authorisation issued by an
accredited body certifying their competence to handle refrigerants in compliance with a
standard assessment recognised by sector associations.

• All repairs must be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Maintenance and repairs requiring the assistance of other qualified personnel must be car­ried out under the supervision of specialists in the use of inflammable refrigerants.

Important information for correct disposal of the product in accordance with EC Directive

2002/96/EC.

At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed of as urban waste. It
must be taken to a special local authority differentiated waste collection centre or to
a dealer providing this service. Disposing of a household appliance separately
avoids possible negative consequences for the environment and health deriving
from inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent materials to be recovered
to obtain significant savings in energy and resources.As a reminder of the need to
dispose of household appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed­out wheeled dustbin.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, check that:

• the mains power supply corresponds to the value indicated on the rating plate on the back
of the appliance;

• the power socket and electrical circuit are adequate for the appliance.

• the mains socket matches the plug. If this is not the case, have the plug replaced;

• the mains socket is adequately earthed. Failure to follow these important safety instructions

absolves the manufacturer of all liability.

WHAT IS THE PINGUINO

During the summer, you feel comfortable at a temperature of between 24 and 27° C with a
relative humidity of about 50%.

An air conditioner removes excess moisture and heat from the room where it is located.
Compared with installed models, portable air conditioners have the advantage that they can
be moved from one room to another in the home or be transported from one building to
another.

Hot air from the room is passed through a heat
exchanger cooled by refrigerant gas. Excess
heat and moisture are removed before
the air is re-emitted into the room.

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

MODELS WITH R290 REFRIGERANT GAS

The Pinguino ECO is a latest
generation environmentally-friendly
air conditioner.
The Pinguino ECO does not, in fact,
contain gases (CFC/HCFC) dangerous
to the ozone layer or with a marked
greenhouse effect (HFC).
As well as reducing energy consumption,
the high efficiency of the appliance also
minimises impact on the greenhouse
effect.

PREPARING FOR USE

The instructions below will enable you to prepare your air condi­tioner for operation as efficiently as possible.
Before use, make sure the air intake and outlet grilles are unob­structed.

A

IR-CONDITIONING WITHOUT INSTALLATION

Just a few simple steps and your comfort is ensured with your
appliance:

• Fit the air exhaust hose in the housing at the back of the
appliance (fig. 1).

• Fit the window outlet to the end of the hose.

• Place the air conditioner near a window or French window.

• Adjust the length of the hose to reach the window.

• Make sure the air exhaust hose is unobstructed.

• Open the window or French window slightly and position the
outlet (fig. 2).

• If you have a double window, use the sucker provided to hold
the two parts of the window together (fig. 3).

You can also use the "adjustable bar" accessory.

- Fit the window outlet in the housing in the bar (fig. 4)

- Position the bar on the window sill and adjust until it fits in

the guides of the blind (the length can be blocked with
the plastic pin provided), then lower the blind (fig. 5).

- Fit the air exhaust hose to the end of the window outlet

(see fig. 6).

- Place the air conditioner near a window or French window

and connect the end of the hose.

Keep the air hose as short and free of curves as possible to
avoid bottlenecks.

AIR-CONDITIONING WITH INSTALLATION

If required, your appliance can also be installed semi-perma-

nently (Fig. 7).

Proceed as follows:

• Drill a 134 mm dia. hole respecting the heights shown in fig. 8.

in the window pane

in the wooden kickboard

of a French window

in the wall: you are

recommended to insula-

te the section of wall

using suitable insulation.

• Fit the flange accessory provided in the hole following the

indications in figs. 9, 10 and 11.

• Fit the hose in the housing at the back of the appliance (fig.

1).

• Fit the end of the hose to the flange as shown in fig. 8. When

the hose is not fitted, the hole can be closed with the flange

cap.

Keep the air hose as short and free of curves as possible to avoid

bottlenecks.

When installing the air conditioner semi-permanently, you

should leave a door slightly open (as little as 1 cm) to gua-

rantee correct ventilation.
