W h at i s P i n g u i n o

During the summer, optimum comfort is achieved with a temperature 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.

S e t t i n g u p

Pinguino is equipped with an adjustable window bracket 17 . 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).

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).

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 10 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 5 is on “ I “ (manual).

If you want to use the timer, turn the switch to the intermediate position .(timer on).

STOPSTOP

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.

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.

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.

Period of operation

AIR CONDITIONER

With the unit turned off, the function selector

11 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 15 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 19 .

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

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

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 4 on the back side of the appliance.

TO TURN THE UNIT OFF COMPLETELY, SET THE FUNCTION SELECTOR 11 TO THE “O” POSITION AND UNPLUG FROM THE SOCKET.

REMOVING COLLECTED WATER

Condensation will be collected in the removable tank 8 .

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 PARTICULARLY HIGH, AN EXCESS OF CONDENSATION MAY

BUILT UP IN THE TANK 8 . WHEN THIS HAP-

PENS, THE INDICATOR LIGHT	14 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 14 WILL REMAIN ON.

R e c o m m e n d a t i o n s

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.

close doors and windows

•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 7 or outlet

1.

•Make sure there are no heat sources in the room.

•

do not cover

lower the blinds or draw the curtains

Make sure the unit is located on a level floor. If necessary, place the two blocking devices 22 under the front wheels 3 .

Before cleaning or maintenance, always turn the unit off by placing the selector in the “O” position and unplug from the socket .

CLEANING THE AIR FILTERS.

To maintain the air conditioning unit at peak efficiency, you are recommended to clean the anti-bacteria filter weekly.

To clean the filters:

1.Remove the intake grilles by rotating them outwards.

For safety reasons, do not wash the air conditioner with water.

CLEANING THE EXTERNAL UNIT

We recommend cleaning the unit with a slightly damp cloth then drying with a dry cloth.

Precautions

Le climatiseur portable Pinguino

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