ENGLISH

During the summer, you feel comfortable at a tem-

perature of between 24 and 27° C with a relative humidity of about 50%. An air conditioning unit removes excess moisture and heat from the room where it is located. Compared with installed models, portable air conditioning units have the advantage that they can be moved from one room to another in the home or transported from one building to another. Hot air from the room is passed through a coil cooled by refrigerant gas. Excess heat and moisture are removed before the air is re-emitted into the room. In single unit models (Pinguino), a small part of this air is used to cool the refrigerant gas and then once hot and moist, is discharged outside. In models with case (SuperPinguino), the circuit is cooled using air from outside. All Pinguino and SuperPinguino models can also be used in fan-only mode.

What are the Pinguino and SuperPinguino?

Preparing for use

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 mains 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.

The power cable must be replaced by a qualified professional only.

The instructions below will enable you to prepare your air conditioning unit for operation as efficiently as possible.

Before use, make sure the air intake and outlet grilles are unobstructed.

Keep air hoses as short and free of curves as possible to avoid constrictions.
