During the summer, optimum comfort is achieved with a tempera-

ture of between 75 and 80˚F 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 Pinguino, a small part of this
air is used to cool the refriger­ant gas before, hot and
moist, being discharged
outside.

Each Pinguino can also be
used as a fan only.

Pinguino is equipped with an adjustable win­dow bracket . If you have a sliding win­dow, place the bracket on the window sill,
extend the bracket fully within the window
frame and lower the window onto the brack­et. Insert the nozzle of the exhaust hose into
the slot, then connect the hose to the air con­ditioner (Fig. D).
Thanks to the wing nut, it’s possible to use the
window bracket also for sliding windows. Position
the hole of the bracket to allow a correct instal­lation of the exhaust hose (see the following
instructions).

17

If you have a sliding door, use the additional
set provided in order to extend the accessory
to the desired length; joining the two parts
(fig. E), adjust the total length according to
your needs then, fit the bracket with the rele­vant nuts, close the door and connect the
hose (fig. F).

AIR CONDITIONING WITH INSTALLATION

Pinguino can also be semi-permanently
installed (fig. G).

To install, proceed as follows:

• Make a hole in a wall that goes through to
the outside or through the pane of a win­dow. Respect the height and dimensions
given in figures H and I.

When the tube is not attached, close the
hole with the stopper .

NOTE:
When the unit is installed semi-permanently,
we recommend leaving a door slightly open
(0.5 in. ‘1 cm’ is enough) to ensure an ade­quate exchange of air.

Turning on and programming

the unit

CONNECTING TO THE MAIN ELECTRIC
SUPPLY AND TURNING THE UNIT ON

1. Before plugging the unit into the socket,

check that:

• the main electric voltage corresponds to
the value indicated on the rating plate on
the back of the unit;

• the socket and power cord are ade­quate for the voltage required;

• the socket is the right type for the plug,
otherwise have the socket replaced;

• the socket is effectively grounded. Failure

to observe this safety regulation absolves
the manufacturer from all liability.

2. Before setting the required function, check

that the timer switch is on “ I “ (manual).
If you want to use the timer, turn the switch to

the intermediate position .(timer on).

5

10

TIMER: SETTING THE TIME

As with all clocks, the programmer/timer must
be set to the right time. If it is 4:00 p.m., rotate
the pointers clockwise (follow the direction of
the arrow) until you reach 4:00 p.m.
Note: never rotate the timer dial in a counter­clockwise direction.

TIMER: PROGRAMMING

1) Set the times when the unit will function by
pushing the notches in the required inter­val towards the outside (each notch rep­resents 15 minutes).

2) Check that the timer indicates the exact
time (see setting the time).

3) Choose the required function according
to the instructions on the following page.

The timer is an electric clock and only
works while the unit is connected to the
outlet. When it is unplugged or there is no
electricity, the timer stops (the clock is
“slow”) and must be re-set.

Period of operation

Example:

from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

In this mode, the unit will repeat the set pro­gram every day.

Note: It is not necessary to modify the pro­gram to exclude “timer” operation. Just turn
the switch to “ I “ (manual).

When the timer’s on the “0” (POWER OFF)
position, the appliance doesn’t work.

Selecting functions

AIR CONDITIONER

With the unit turned off, the function selector

is in the “O” position. To turn the unit on in

air conditioning mode, proceed as follows:

1. Rotate the function selector knob clock­wise:

• Place the large crystal symbol in line
with the reference mark to operate the
unit in air conditioning mode at maximum
fan speed.

• Place the small crystal symbol in line
with the reference mark to operate the
unit in air conditioning mode at minimum
fan speed.

2. Now set the required temperature by
rotating the room thermostat knob.

Note

The temperature is not expressed in degrees.
We therefore recommend rotating the room
thermostat knob to the maximum cool
position. When room temperature has
reached the required level, rotate the ther­mostat knob slowly clockwise until the ther­mostat is activated, turning the unit off. This
programs the unit to the precise level of com­fort required which will then be automatically
maintained by the thermostat with consider­able energy savings. When regulating the
thermostat, the air conditioning function is
temporarily interrupted and the unit contin­ues to operate in fan only mode.

HOW TO DEHUMIDIFY

When the appliance is working as an air condi­tioner, it automatically reduces the excess
humidity in the air present in the room. This is
eliminated through the exhaust tube .
If only the elimination of the excess humidity
in the room is desired without lowering the
temperature, simply turn the function selector
knob in a clockwise direction until the

symbol is reached. The excess condensed

humidity automatically gathers in the tank

. It is also possible to carry out continuous
drainage of the condensed humidity, follow­ing the instructions aside.

8

19

15

11

DEHUMIDIFICATION ONLY

Position the appliance in the room without
inserting the tube; in this way the dehumidi­fied air will exhaust directly into the room.

Note

In the dehumidifying mode, air colder than the
room temperature will exhaust from the air
exhaust grill. Conversely, air warmer than room
temperature will be exhausted from the cou­pling on the back side of the appliance.

TO TURN THE UNIT OFF COMPLETELY, SET THE
FUNCTION SELECTOR TO THE “O” POSI­TION AND UNPLUG FROM THE SOCKET.

REMOVING COLLECTED WATER

Condensation will be collected in the
removable tank .
It’s also possibe to drain it continuosly.

CONTINUOUS EXTERNAL DRAINING

THIS UNIT EMPLOYS AN EXCLUSIVE CONDEN­SATION RECYCLING SYSTEM TO DISPOSE OF
EXCESS MOISTURE. IN NORMAL CONDITIONS,
CONDENSATION IS DISPOSED OF AUTOMATI­CALLY. WHEN THE HUMIDITY IS PAR TICULARLY
HIGH, AN EXCESS OF CONDENSATION MAY
BUILT UP IN THE TANK . WHEN THIS HAP­PENS, THE INDICATOR LIGHT COMES
ON INDICATING THAT THE TANK SHOULD BE
EMPTIED. WHENEVER CONDITIONS OF HIGH

HUMIDITY MAKE THE PROBLEM RECURRENT,
YOU MAY DISCHARGE THE EXCESS WATER
DIRECTLY INTO A DRAIN, USING THE RUBBER
TUBE SUPPLIED. THE TUBE SHOULD BE INSERTED
INTO THE HOLE PROVIDED, AFTER HAVING
REMOVED THE RUBBER STOPPER. (see figure
below).

MAKE SURE THE TANK IS PUT BACK CORRECTLY
OTHERWISE THE LIGHT WILL REMAIN ON.

ENGLISH

Follow these recommendations to achieve
maximum efficiency from your air condition­ing unit:

• Close the doors and windows in the room

where the unit is functioning. The only
exception is in the case of installation
through a hole in the wall. In this case, you
are recommended to allow a small amount
of air to enter through a door or window to
guarantee an adequate exchange of air.

•Protect the room from direct exposure to

the sun’s rays by drawing the curtains
and/or partially lowering the blinds so as
to maximize energy savings.

• Do not rest objects on the air conditioning

unit.

• Do not obstruct the air intake or outlet

.

• Make sure there are no heat sources in the

room.

FRANÇAIS

Pendant les mois d’été, les conditions de bien-être sont atteintes avec une température com-

prise entre 24°C et 27°C et avec une humidité relative d’environ 50%.

Le climatiseur est un appareil qui enlève l’humidité et la chaleur de la pièce dans laquelle il est
placé. Par rapport aux modèles à installation fixe, les climatiseurs portables présentent l’avan­tage de pouvoir être non seulement déplacés d’une
pièce à l’autre d’une maison mais aussi transportés
d’un édifice à un autre.

L’air chaud de votre pièce passe, sous l’ef­fet du gaz réfrigérant, à travers une bat­terie de refroidissement où il cède la
chaleur et l’humidité en excès avant
d’être réintroduit dans la pièce.
Dans Pinguino, une petite partie de
cet air est utilisée pour refroidir le gaz
réfrigérant; ensuite, devenue
chaude et humide, elle est évac­uée vers l’extérieur.

Tous les Pinguino peuvent être
également utilisés en mode seule­ment ventilation.
