IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
• Use this appliance only as described in this instruction manual. As with all electrical equipment, whilst the instructions aim to cover as many eventualities as possible, caution and
common sense should be applied when operating and installing this appliance.
• This appliance is designed for home air conditioning and must not be used for other purposes
• It is dangerous to modify or alter the characteristics of the appliance in any way.
• The appliance must be installed in conformity with national legislation regulating electrical
equipment and installations.
• If the appliance requires repair, contact a Service Centre authorised by the manufacturer
only. Repairs carried out by unauthorised personnel may be dangerous.
• This appliance must be used exclusively by adults.
• Never allow the appliance to be used by people (including children) with psychological,
physical or sensory impairments or with insufficient experience and knowledge, unless closely supervised and instructed by someone responsible for their safety. Young children
should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• The appliance must be connected to an efficient earth system. Have your electrical circuit
checked by a qualified electrician.
• Do not use extension cables.
• Before cleaning or maintenance, always unplug the appliance from the mains socket.
• 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.
• "These models shall be connected only to supply with the relevant system impedance no
more than 0.347 ohm. Restrictions to connection may be imposed by the supply authority
on the use of equipment if the actual system impedance at the interface point of the
user's premise exceeds 0.347 ohm. If necessary please consult your energy supply
authority."

Important information for correct disposal of the product
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 crossed-out 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.
• 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 about 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
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.
* Verify the type of refrigerant gas used in your appliance on the rating plate.

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).

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.
AIR-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).
• If you have a sash window, place the window bracket on the
window sill, extend the bracket fully within the window frame,
fix the bracket by using the pin then lower the window onto
the bracket. Insert the window outlet of the exhaust hose into
the slot, then connect the hose to the air conditioner (fig. 4).
• Thanks to the locking pins, it’s possible to use the window
bracket also for sliding windows. Position the hole of the bracket so to allow a correct installation of the exhaust hose (see
figure 5).
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. 6).
Proceed as follows:
• Drill in an outside wall or in the window pane a 134 mm dia.
hole respecting the heights shown in fig. 7.

in the wall: you are
recommended to insula-

using suitable insulation.
• Fit the flange accessory provided in the hole following the
indications in figs. 8, 9 and 10.
• 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. 7. 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.
