empty the tank (8).
After moving the appliance, wait at least 1 hour before starting it

• Use the appliance as described in this instruction manual only. As with any electrical appliance,
while the instructions aim to cover as many eventualities as possible caution and common sense
should be used when operating and installing this air conditioning unit.

• At the end of its working life, take the appliance to a special collection centre.

• The materials used for packaging can be recycled. You are therefore recommended to dispose of

• If the appliance is used in rooms without adequate ventilation, take the necessary precautions to
avoid possible leaks of refrigerant gas stagnating in the atmosphere, creating a fire risk.

• This appliance must be used and kept in rooms with a volume of more than 21m

.

• If an appliance containing flammable refrigerant is used in an unventilated room, make sure the
room is suitable and that there is no danger of gas leaks reaching a concentration which could
cause fire or explosion in the presence of other heat sources (electrical heating appliances, heaters
or similar).

During the summer, you feel comfortable at a temperature 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 be 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, when
hot and damp, 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.

The Pinguino ECO is a
latest generation environ­mentally-friendly air con­ditioning unit. The Pinguino
ECO does not, in fact, con­tain gases (CFC/HCFC)
dangerous to the ozone
layer or with a marked
greenhouse effect (HFC). As
well as reducing energy con­sumption, the high efficiency of
the appliance also minimises
impact on the greenhouse effect.

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.

AIR-CONDITIONING WITHOUT INSTALLATION

Just a few simple steps and your comfort is
ensured with Pinguino:

• Fit the air exhaust hose in the housing

at the back of the appliance. Insert it as

shown in figure A.

• If you have a double window, use the
suckers provided to hold the two parts of
the window together (fig. C).

• Fit the window outlet to the end of the
hose .

• Place the air conditioning unit near a win­dow or French window.

• Make sure the air exhaust hose is unob­structed.

• Open the window or French window sligh­tly and position the outlet as shown in
figure B.

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

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.

Preparing for use

AIR-CONDITIONING WITH INSTALLATION

If required, the Pinguino can also be installed
semi-permanently.

• Fit the flange accessory provided in the
hole

• Fit the hose in the housing at the back
of the appliance (fig. A page 19).

• Fit the end of the hose to the flange

as shown in fig. E.

Proceed as follows:

• Drill a hole in an outside wall or through a
window pane. Respect the height and
dimensions of the hole given in figure D.

When the hose is not fitted, the hole can
be closed with the flange cap .

NOTE:
When installing the air conditioning unit semi­permanently, you should leave a door slightly
open (as little as 1 cm) to guarantee correct
ventilation.

DEHUMIDIFYING

Place the appliance in the room without fit­ting the hose. The dehumidified air will thus be
released directly into the atmosphere.
Cold air will be discharged from the front gril­le and hot air from the back grille (fig. G), thus
guaranteeing efficient dehumidifying.

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