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 moistu-
re and heat from the room where it is loca-
ted.
Compared with installed models, porta-
ble 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 throu-
gh a coil cooled by refrigerant gas.
Excess heat and moisture are remo-
ved 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 outsi-
de.
All Pinguino and SuperPinguino models
can also be used in fan-only mode.
What are the Pinguino and SuperPinguino?

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 effi-
ciently 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.

Preparing for use
AIR-CONDITIONING WITH INSTALLATION
If required, the Pinguino can also be installed
semi-permanently.
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 E-F.

MAX100 cm
MIN 35 cm
Whenever the hose is not fitted, the hole
can be closed with the flange cap .
Note:
When installing the air conditioning unit semi-
permanently, you should leave a door slightly
open (as little as 1 cm) to guarantee correct
ventilation.
DEHUMIDIFYING
Place the appliance in the room without fit-
ting the hose. The dehumidified air will thus be
released directly into the atmosphere.
Cold air will come out of the front grill and hot
air from the back grill (fig. G), thus guaran-
teeing efficient dehumidifying.
In addition to the air exhaust hose , a
second hose is available as an accessory to
take air from outside rather than inside the
room.

Turning on and selecting the functions
HOW TO USE AS AN AIR CONDITIONER
When the air conditioning unit is off, the func-
tion selector is in the “●●” position. To use the
unit in air conditioning mode, proceed as fol-
lows:
1. Turn the function selector knob clockwise:
•When the large crystal symbol is lined
up with the reference mark on the
appliance, the unit will operate in air con-
ditioning mode at maximum fan speed.
•When the small crystal symbol is lined
up with the reference mark on the
appliance, the unit will operate in air con-
ditioning mode at minimum fan speed
2. Choose the required temperature by tur-
ning the room thermostat dial.
Note
The temperature is not indicated in degrees.
We therefore suggest you turn the room ther-
mostat dial to the maximum cold position.
When the temperature in the room is comfor-
table, turn the thermostat slowly anticlockwi-
se until the thermostat trips and turns the air
conditioning off.
This will programme the appliance to the
exact level of comfort which will then be
automatically maintained by the thermostat,
at the same time guaranteeing considerable
energy savings. Whenever the air conditioner
reaches the required temperature, it conti-
nues to operate in fan only mode.
THIS APPLIANCE USES AN EXCLUSIVE CON-
DENSATE RECYCLING SYSTEM TO ELIMINA-
TE EXCESS MOISTURE.
IN NORMAL CONDITIONS, CONDENSATE IS
ELIMINATED AUTOMATICALLY.
WHEN HUMIDITY IS HIGH, THERE MAY BE
EXCESS CONDENSATE IN THE TANK. INDI-
CATOR LIGHT COMES ON AND YOU
SHOULD EMPTY THE TANK.
MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE TANK BACK COR-
RECTLY OR INDICATOR LIGHT WILL
REMAIN ON.

HOW TO USE AS A FAN
If you want to use the appliance as a fan
only, turn the function selector anti-
clockwise to the symbol.
HOW TO USE AS A DEHUMIDIFIER
When the appliance is operating in air condi-
tioning mode, it automatically reduces excess
moisture in the air, while at the same time lowe-
ring room temperature.
If you want to remove excess moisture without
lowering the temperature, remove the air
exhaust hose and turn the function selector
anticlockwise to the symbol.
Note
In dehumidifying mode, the air coming out of
the air discharge grill is colder than the air in
the room while the air coming out of the hose
housing at the back of the appliance is
hotter.
