uring 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.

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.
