common sense should be applied when operating and installing this appliance.

• This appliance is designed for home air conditioning and must not be used for other pur­poses

• It is dangerous to modify or alter the characteristics of the appliance in any way.

• The appliance must be installed in conformity with national legislation regulating electrical
equipment and installations.

• If the appliance requires repair, contact a Service Centre authorised by the manufacturer
only. Repairs carried out by unauthorised personnel may be dangerous.

• This appliance must be used exclusively by adults.

• Never allow the appliance to be used by people (including children) with psychological,
physical or sensory impairments or with insufficient experience and knowledge, unless clo­sely supervised and instructed by someone responsible for their safety. Young children
should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• The appliance must be connected to an efficient earth system. Have your electrical circuit
checked by a qualified electrician.

• Do not use extension cables.

• Before cleaning or maintenance, always unplug the appliance from the mains socket.

• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cable.

• Do not install the appliance in rooms containing gas, oil or sulphur. Do not install near sour­ces of heat

• Keep the appliance at least 50 cm away from flammable substances (alcohol etc) or pres­surised containers (eg aerosol cans).

• Do not rest heavy or hot objects on top of the appliance.

• Clean the air filter at least once a week.

• Avoid using heating appliances near the air conditioner.

• Always transport the appliance upright or resting on one side. Before moving the applian­ce, empty the internal circuit completely of water. After moving the appliance, wait at least
1 hour before starting it.

• When putting the appliance away, do not cover with plastic bags.

• The materials used for packaging can be recycled. You are therefore recommended to dis­pose of them in special differentiated waste collection containers.

• At the end of its working life, consign the appliance to a specialist collection centre.

• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised
technical service centre in order to avoid all risk.

• Before transporting the appliance, completely empty the internal circuit of water by pres­sing the MODE and FAN buttons simultaneously for a few seconds without removing the
tank. Then empty the tank

SPECIFIC WARNINGS FOR APPLIANCES WITH R410A* REFRIGERANT GAS

R410A refrigerant gas conforms to EC regulations on the environment. Avoid perforating the
refrigerant circuit of the appliance.

ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION:

This unit contains fluorinated greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol.
Maintenance and disposal must be carried out by qualified personnel only (R410A,
GWP=1975).

* Verify the type of refrigerant gas used in your appliance on the rating plate.

Important information for correct disposal of the product in accordance with EC Directive

2002/96/EC.

At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed of as urban waste. It
must be taken to a special local authority differentiated waste collection centre or to
a dealer providing this service. Disposing of a household appliance separately
avoids possible negative consequences for the environment and health deriving
from inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent materials to be recovered
to obtain significant savings in energy and resources.As a reminder of the need to
dispose of household appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed­out wheeled dustbin.

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 power 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.

SPECIFIC WARNINGS FOR APPLIANCES WITH R290* REFRIGERANT GAS

• Read the warnings carefully.

• When defrosting or cleaning, use only the implements recom­mended by the manufacturer.

• The appliance must be placed in a room without continuously operating sources of ignition
(for example: open flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater).

• Do not pierce or burn.

• Refrigerant gas may be odourless.

• The appliance must be installed, used and stored in a room with a surface area greater
than 15 m

.

• This appliance contains about 300 g of R290 refrigerant gas.

• R290 refrigerant gas complies with European environmental directives. Do not perforate
any of the components in the refrigerant circuit.

• If the appliance is installed, used or stored in an unventilated room, the room must be such
as to prevent stagnation of possible leaks of refrigerant gas as there could be a danger of
fire or explosion hazard should the refrigerant come into contact with electric heaters, sto­ves or other sources of ignition.

• The appliance must be stored in such a way as to prevent mechanical faults.

• Persons working on a refrigerant circuit must have the relative authorisation issued by an
accredited body certifying their competence to handle refrigerants in compliance with a
standard assessment recognised by sector associations.

• All repairs must be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Maintenance and repairs requiring the assistance of other qualified personnel must be car­ried out under the supervision of specialists in the use of inflammable refrigerants.

* Verify the type of refrigerant gas used in your appliance on the rating plate.

WHAT IS THE PINGUINO

During the summer, you feel comfortable at a temperature of between 24 and 27° C with a
relative humidity of about 50%.

An air conditioner removes excess moisture and heat from the room where it is located.
Compared with installed models, portable air conditioners 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 re­emitted into the room.

In single unit models, a small part of
this air is used to cool the refrigerant
gas and then, when hot and damp,
is discharged outside.

MODELS WITH R290 REFRIGERANT GAS

The Pinguino ECO is a latest
generation environmentally-friendly
air conditioner.
The Pinguino ECO does not, in fact,
contain gases (CFC/HCFC) dangerous
to the ozone layer or with a marked
greenhouse effect (HFC).
