WHAT IS THE WATER-AIR 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 heat
exchanger cooled by refrigerant gas. Excess
heat and moisture are removed before the
air is re-emitted 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.

In exclusive De'longhi water-air
models, the heat is removed from
the room through the cooling effect
of the water which is obviously much
greater than air.
This gives this air conditioner
unbeatable cooling efficiency.

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).
As well as reducing energy
consumption, the high efficiency
of the appliance also minimises
impact on the greenhouse
effect.

PREPARING FOR USE

The instructions below will enable you to prepare your air condi­tioner 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 your
appliance:

• Fit the air exhaust hose in the housing at the back of the

appliance (fig. 1).

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

• Place the air conditioner near a window or French window.

• Adjust the length of the hose to reach the window.

• Make sure the air exhaust hose is unobstructed.

• Open the window or French window slightly and position the

outlet (fig. 2).

• If you have a double window, use the sucker provided to hold

the two parts of the window together (fig. 3).

You can also use the "adjustable bar" accessory.

- Fit the window outlet in the housing in the bar (fig. 4)

- Position the bar on the window sill and adjust until it fits in
the guides of the blind (the length can be blocked with
the plastic pin provided), then lower the blind (fig. 5).

- Fit the air hose to the end of the window outlet.

• Place the air conditioner near a window or French window
and connect the end of the hose as shown in figure 6.

Keep the air hose as short and free of curves as possible to avoid
bottlenecks.

To use the appliance in heating or smart mode, the condensate
drain hose must be attached as follows:

• Fit the hose with the rapid coupling as shown in fig. 7.

• In order for the continuous drain function to operate correctly,
make sure the hose coupling is fully inserted into the connec­tor. To remove, press the connector flange.

Place the end of the hose in a suitable container (for example, 5
litres) which must be emptied regularly. Alternatively place it out­side the window (max. height 1 m) (fig. 8).

AIR-CONDITIONING WITH INSTALLATION

If required, your appliance can also be installed semi-perma­nently (Fig. 9).
Proceed as follows:

- Drill a 106 mm dia. hole in the wall respecting the heights shown

in fig. 10 and following the indications in figs. 11, 12 and 13.

27

in the window pane

in the wooden kickboard

of a French window

in the wall: you are

recommended to

insulate the section of

wall using suitable

insulation.

• Fit the flange accessory provided in the hole

• Fit the hose in the housing at the back of the appliance (fig.

1).

• Fit the end of the hose to the flange as shown in fig. 10. When
the hose is not fitted, the hole can be closed with the flange
cap.

Keep the air hose as short and free of curves as possible to avoid
bottlenecks.

When installing the air conditioner semi-permanently, you
should leave a door slightly open (as little as 1 cm) to gua­rantee correct ventilation.

To use the appliance in heating or smart mode, the condensate
drain hose must be attached as follows:

• Fit the hose with the rapid coupling as shown in fig. 7.

• In order for the continuous drain function to operate correctly,
make sure the hose coupling is fully inserted into the connec­tor. To remove, press the connector flange. Place the other
end of the hose in a suitable container (for example, 5 litres)
which must be emptied regularly, (max. height 1 m).

PREPARING FOR OPERATION IN WATER MODE

Once the appliance has been installed following the instructions
above, it is ready for use. However, its efficiency can be enhan­ced by operating it in the exclusive De'longhi water mode. The
water in the tank increases the cooling power of your Pinguino
and at the same time reduces noise levels and electrical con­sumption. Compared to air, water reduces the temperature of
the cooling circuit much more efficiently, before being given off
from the air exhaust hose in the form of vapour.
Remember that:

• You must always use salt-free clean mains water.

• The length of time the water in the tank lasts depends greatly
on environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity,
insulation, the exposure of the room, the number of people
present, etc. Indicatively it lasts about six hours. By using the
WATERSAVE function (see page 34), the length of time can be
extended to 10 hours, with a slightly lower cooling power and
efficiency.

• When the water in the tank runs out, the light comes on
and operation of the appliance switches automatically to air­air. At the same time, the quantity of air given out from the
rear hose increases.

FILLING THE TANK

You can fill the tank in one of two ways:

1) By using the jug provided or another recipient:

Instead of the jug provided, you can use any recipient (plastic or
glass bottle, watering can etc), providing you avoid the water
spilling.

• Without using force, open the rear door completely, then
remove the rubber cap (fig. 14).

• Pour the water into the tank (fig. 15). When the tank is full, the
water level window (fig. 16) becomes completely red.
Indicatively, you will need to refill the jug three times to fill the
tank completely.

• After filling, put the rubber cap back in place, then close the
door.

2) Using the extendible hose:

• Without using force, open the rear door completely, then
remove the rubber cap (fig. 14). Pull out the extendible hose
(fig. 17) and place near a tap.

• Fill the tank to the required level.

• When the tank is full, the water level window (fig. 16) beco­mes completely red (about 14 l).

• After filling, put the rubber cap back in place, then close the
door.

The tank does not have to be full to use the water function, but the length of time the
appliance will operate in water mode will be shorter.

When the level window has become completely red, do not add further water or it
could overflow. The tank has no overflow prevention system.

SLEEP FUNCTION (FIG. 28)

This function is useful for the night as it gradually reduces opera­tion of the appliance and turns it off after 8 hours.
To set this function correctly:

• Select the operating mode (air conditioning, dehumidifying,
smart or heating (certain models only) as described above.

• Press the button. The appliance operates in the previously
selected mode with the lowest possible fan speed.

The SLEEP function maintains the room at optimum temperature
without excessive fluctuations in either temperature or humidity
and with silent operation.
Fan speed, room temperature and humidity vary gradually to
ensure the most comfortable conditions.
During air conditioning, the temperature increases by 1°C after
60 minutes and a further 1°C after 2 hours.
In dehumidifying mode, the dehumidifying power of the applian­ce is partially reduced every hour for the first two hours.
In heating mode, the temperature drops by 1°C every hour, three
times.

IONISER FUNCTION (CERTAIN MODELS ONLY) (FIG. 29)

The ioniser is an electronic component which releases negative
ions into the air. Rooms with a clean pleasant atmosphere have
been shown to have an abundance of negative ions, while
rooms with stale air contain abundant positive ions.
The ioniser restores the correct balance between the two types
of ion, reducing dust in the air and generating a pleasant sensa­tion of well-being. This button activates the ioniser present in cer­tain models. This function can be activated in all operating
modes.

WATERSAVE FUNCTION (FIG. 30)

This function is designed to increase the operating time of the
appliance when operating in water mode and can be activated
in air conditioning and SMART mode.
When the button is pressed, the appliance is slightly less efficient,
but consumption of water in the tank is considerably reduced.
With a full tank, the appliance normally operates for six hours.
With this function activated, the operating time increases to 10
hours, avoiding the need to top up frequently.
When the water runs out, the light comes on and the quan­tity of air coming out of the hose at the back increases. To resto­re operation in water mode, fill the tank.

TIPS FOR CORRECT USE

To get the best from your air conditioner, follow these recom­mendations:

• close the windows and doors in the room to be air conditio­ned (fig. 35). When installing the air conditioner semi-perma­nently, you should leave a door slightly open (as little as 1 cm)
to guarantee correct ventilation.

• protect the room from direct exposure to the sun by partially
closing curtains and/or blinds to make the appliance much
more economical to run (fig. 36);

• never rest objects of any kind on the air conditioner;

• do not obstruct the air intake and outlet (fig. 37). Leave both
grilles free;

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

• never use the appliance in very damp rooms (laundries for
example).

• never use the appliance outdoors.

• make sure the air conditioner is standing on a level surface. If
necessary, place the castor locks under the front wheels.

AIR PURIFYING FILTERS

The appliance is fitted with a dust filter which retains impurities in
the air drawn in from the room.
Certain models also include other filters with a high filtering capa­city, namely a silver ion filter and a 3M® electrostatic filter.

SILVER ION FILTER

The silver ion filter not just retains dust particles, but also has an
efficient antibacterial action. It also greatly reduces concentra­tions of irritants such as pollen and spores.
The filter is treated with small particles of silver (on the scale of mil­lionths of a millimetre) which are able to block the multiplication
of and kill any nearby bacteria or spores.

3M® ELECTROSTATIC FILTER

The 3M® electrostatic filter retains the finest dust particles, thus
enhancing the filtering capacity of the appliance.

FITTING THE FILTERS TO THE GRILLE

The appliance can be used with just the dust filter already inser­ted in the grille.
To use the two supplementary filters (if provided with your model),
remove them from the packaging and attach them to the dust
filter, inserting them under the special clips (fig. 38).
If you decide not to use them, keep them sealed in the packa­ging.

CLEANING

Before cleaning or maintenance, turn the appliance off by pres­sing the button on the control panel or remote control, wait
for a few seconds then unplug from the mains socket.

CLEANING THE CABINET

You should clean the appliance with a slightly damp cloth then
dry with a dry cloth.

Never wash the air conditioner with water. It could be dan­gerous.

Never use petrol, alcohol or solvents to clean the appliance.
Never spray insecticide liquids or similar.

CLEANING THE AIR FILTERS

To keep your air conditioner working efficiently, you should clean
the dust filters every week of operation.

Dust filter supplied with all models

The filter is housed in the intake grille.
To clean the filters, proceed as follows:

• Remove the intake grille by pulling it outwards (fig. 39).

• Remove the dust filter by detaching it from the grille (Fig. 40).

• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust collected on the
filter. If it is very dirty, immerse in warm water and rinse a num­ber of times. The water should never be hotter than 40°C.

• After washing, leave the filter to dry completely.

• To replace, put the filters back in the intake grille then attach
the intake grille to the appliance.

Silver ion filter and 3M® electrostatic filter (certain models only)
These two filters are located behind the dust filter.
To clean the dust filter, the two supplementary filters must be tem­porarily removed.
To clean, use a vacuum cleaner at medium power.

The silver ion filter can be washed with cold water. Leave to dry
completely and replace. It should be replaced at least once
every two seasons.

The 3M® filter is not washable and must replaced at the end of
the season or when it is exhausted and no longer efficient.

The silver ion filter and 3M® filter can be bought from shops
selling De'longhi accessories or authorised service centres.

OPERATIONS AT END OF SEASON (OR BEFORE TRANS­PORTING THE APPLIANCE)

Before putting the appliance away, you are recommend to per­form the descaling procedure described in the "Descaling" sec­tion.

• Before putting the appliance away or moving it to another
location, you must empty any water left in the tanks as descri­bed in the "Forced draining" section.

• Then empty any water left in the internal circuits by extracting
and opening the two hoses inside the rear door (fig. 41).

• After performing the two operations described above, ope­rate the appliance in fan only mode for about half an hour.
This dries any water remaining inside the appliance.

• Turn the appliance off and unplug from the mains.

• Remove the air exhaust hose and condensate drain hose.

• Clean the dust filters and (in certain models) the air purifying
filters.

• Place the power cable in the special rear cable compart­ment (fig. 42).

• Cover the appliance to avoid dust.

FORCED DRAINING

If you need to completely empty the appliance of water (for
example, to move it to another location or put it away at the end
of the season), you must follow the forced draining procedure.

Proceed as follows:

• Attach the continuous drain hose and make sure it drains into
a suitable container or drain (max. height 1 m).

• Plug the appliance into the mains and set the appliance to
stand-by.

• Press and hold the ON/STAND-BY and MODE buttons for about
6-7 seconds.

A beep indicates that the automatic procedure has begun
and a graphic sequence is displayed.

Wait for the procedure to end.

• The appliance resets to stand-by.
Depending on the quantity of water to be drained, this pro-

cess could last more than an hour.

DESCALING

When using the appliance in water mode, lime scale will inevi­tably form and must be removed to maintain efficiency. After
about 500 hours of operation, the appliance therefore warns that
descaling is required by displaying the message CL (CLEAN).

Descale the appliance.

• Turn off the appliance and unplug from the mains. Empty all
water from the inside of the appliance through the drain
hoses (fig. 42).

• Close and replace the drain hoses. Pour 0.5 l of descaler (one
bottle) and 1.5 l of clean water into the tank.

• Plug in and operate the appliance in air conditioning mode
with the BOOST function selected until the "no water"
symbol appears on the display.

• Turn off the appliance and unplug from the mains. Empty all
water from the inside of the appliance through the drain
hoses.

• Close and replace the drain hoses. Pour 2 l of clean water into
the tank and rinse the internal circuits of dirt and descaler.

• Plug in and operate the appliance until the "no water"
symbol appears on the display.

• Turn off the appliance and unplug from the mains. Empty all
rinsing water from the inside of the appliance through the
drain hoses.

• If the water drained off is very dirty or contains large quanti­ties of foam, repeat the rinsing operation.

• Close the drain hoses and replace.

• After descaling, reset the alarm by pressing the button for
10 seconds.
