Important safeguards
•Use this appliance only as described in this instruction manual.
As with any electrical appliance, whilst the instructions aim to cover as many eventualities as
possible caution and common sense should be applied when operating and installing this air
conditioner.
•This appliance has been manufactured to cool and de-humidify domestic environments and
should not be used for other purposes.
•It is dangerous to alter or modify the unit's characteristics in any way.
•The appliance must be installed in line with the relevant national legislation.
•Should repairs be necessary, contact the nearest authorised Repair Service Centre. Unautho-
rised servicing can be dangerous.
•This appliance is to be used by adults only; keep away from children.
•In the case that the power cable becomes damaged, this must be substituted only by specialised
personnel authorised by the manufacturer.
•Always ensure the appliance is earthed. If you have any doubts check with a qualified elec-
trician.
•Avoid using extension leads with the unit.
•Before cleaning or maintenance operations, always unplug the unit from the socket.
•Do not pull on or place strain on the power cable when moving the appliance.
•The appliance should not be installed where the atmosphere may contain combustible gases,
oil or sulphur, or near heat sources.
•If the appliance is utilised in areas where there is no ventilation of air, it is necessary to take pre-
cautions to avoid that the refrigerant gases that may leak from the appliance do not remain
in the room, thereby causing a fire hazard.
•This appliance must be utilised and installed only in rooms with a total volume of 15 cubic metres
or greater.
•The refrigerant gases R290 conform to EC regulations on the environment. Avoid perforating
the refrigerant circuit of the appliance.
• Keep the unit at least 50 cm away from inflammable substances (alcohol etc) or pressurised con-
tainers (eg. aerosol cans).
•Do not rest hot or heavy objects onto the appliance.
•Clean the dust filter at least once a week.
•Remember to perform the descaling procedure at the end of each season (see page 37). In
areas where the water is particularly hard (rich in minerals), the use of a commercial anti-lime
product added to the water is recommended. This can be requested from De’Longhi LTD.
•Avoid using heaters near the unit.
•Do not cover this appliance with bags when is not in use
•Unventilated area where the appilance using flammable refrigerants is installed shall be so con-
structed that any leaked refrigerants will not stagnate so as to cause a fire or an explosion hazard
caussed by igniting stagnant refrigerants from other source such as electric heater, stove and simi-
lar home applications.
•The unit should be transported in a vertical position. If this is not possible secure the unit at an
angle, do not lie horizontally.
Before transporting the unit drain the condensation collecting-tray and tank. After transporta-
tion, wait at least 1 hour before switching on the unit.
•The packaging materials can be recycled. You are therefore recommended to place them in
the special containers for differentiated waste collection.

ENGLISH
During the summer, optimum comfort is achieved with a temperature of between 24 and 27˚C
and about 50% relative humidity.
An air conditioner removes moisture and heat from the room where it is located. One advantage
of portable air conditioning units over fitted models is that they can be moved from one room to
another in the home or even transferred between different buildings.
The hot air in your room is passed through a coil
cooled by refrigerant gas, losing excess
heat and moisture before being
discharged again into the room.
In single unit models (Pinguino), a
small part of this air is used to
cool the refrigerant gas befo-
re, hot and moist air is being
discharged outside.
In suitcase models, the cir-
cuit is cooled using the air
outside.
ECO by Pinguino is the
latest generation of ecolo-
gical air conditioners. Pin-
guino does not contain
gases dangerous to the
earth's ozone layer
(CFC/HCFC). In addition,
thanks to the extreme effi-
ciency of the appliance, not only
does it save you money on your
electric bills, but it saves the environ-
ment by not negatively contributing to
the greenhouse effect."
How does your Pinguino work

NOTE:
When the unit is installed semi-permanently,
we recommend leaving a door slightly open
(1 cm is enough) to ensure an adequate
exchange of air.

Preparation for use
HOW TO USE THE AIRCONDITIONER WITH WATER
These air conditioners can use both air and water to cool the condenser (the hot part) of the air
conditioner.
To utilise the full potential of your air conditioner, the tank needs tobefilledwith water.Thewater
is used. To increase the cooling power and reduce the noise level and energy consumption of the air
conditioner. The water that is used in then expelled from the machine as water vapour through the
exhaust hose (it does not go into room).
Always use clean top water (which doesn’t contain salts). As a rule the water will usually last about 8
hours however this depends on the conditions within the room, such as temperature, humidity, insula-
tion and aspect and number of people. In turbo mode the water will also be used more quickly.
You may also use the airconditioner on air cooling only (without filling the water tank . If you only requi-
re the lower cooling power.

A) To open the front panel
grip either side of the
panel and gently pull the
panel towards you and
upwards. Remove the tank
Lifting it forward.

6B) Turn the tank upside down
and remove the plug,
remove the extendible
tube and fill the tank, lea-
ving it on the ground.
C) After completing the fil-
ling procedure, replace
the extendible hose,
replace the cap and
screw it in tightly. Return
the tank to its place, with
the writing FRONT clearly
visible. Carefully hold the
panel in the centre and
lower to its closed posi-
tion.
During the "water functioning" operation and in particularly silent locations (eg the bedroom) a
slight gurgling sound may be heard. This is completely normal.
IMPORTANT: if the room temperature is 32°C or over the airconditioner must be operated with with
water in the tank.
