In case of permanent installation, air
discharged from rear hose has been
extracted from the room where the applian
ce is installed
Check that the room {especially if small) is
not "air-tight"; a drop in pressure would
cause irregular functioning, which could
consequently activate reset switch Air
entering through door and window cracks
IS normally sufficient. If deemed, necessary
leave a door ajar (approx, 1 cm is enough).

TEMPORARY iNSTALLATION

Note: In both cases (pernnanenl and temporary installations) make sure that the Pinguino is positio

ned on level ground. If necessary use the two caster stops for the front casters

A temporary insEallalicn

makes it easy to use Pinguino

in any room, provided there is
a window or a door: it allows
you to use the Pinguino imrine­dialely

Suction pad may be used to
keep window or door closed.

In any case, for maximum
coooling efficiency the win
dow should be closed as
much as possible.

SET UP INSTRUCTION

For permanent installation place the Pinguino near the outlet opening in wall or window (where it is
meant to be used) The diagram below shows the correct way to install the exhaust hose.
