Important Safe-guards
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be taken, with
particular reference to the following:
-Read all instructions.
-To protect against fire, electric shock and personal injury, do not immerse cable, plug
or appliance in water or other liquid.
-Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
-Unplug from socket when not in use and before cleaning.
-Do not operate if the cable, plug or unit itself is damaged or faulty. Return the
appliance to the nearest authorised service centre for examination, repair or adjust-
ment.
-The use of accessories or spare parts other than those recommended by the manu-
facturer may result in fire, electric shock or personal injury.
-Do not use outdoors.
-Do not use the appliance in ways other than that for which it was intended.
-Do not place the power cable under strain. Avoid twisting and/or tangling.
-Ensure that the outlet of the discharge hose is kept free from debris and blockages.
-Do not obstruct the ventilation holes at the rear of the unit or the front grilles.
-The Pinguino should not be installed where there may be combustible gases in the
atmosphere.
-Avoid using Pinguino in oily or sulphurous atmospheres or near sources of heat.
-Before moving the air conditioner, empty water from condensation tray (see draina-
ge instructions on page 15).
-Do not place hot or heavy objects on the unit.
-Clean air filter every week (see instructions on page 16).
-To disconnect, turn control to “OFF”, then unplug from wall socket.
-Important: if an extension is required, use heavy duty cable only (minimum 14 gauge

ENGLISH
During the summer, optimum comfort is achieved with a temperature of between 75-80°F (24-
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 Pinguino, a small part of this
air is used to cool the refrige-
rant gas before, hot and
moist, being discharged out-
side.
Each Pinguino can also be
used as a fan only.

When positioning the appliance, always ensure that nothing obstructs the intake and discharge of
air
AIR CONDITIONING WITHOUT PERMANENT
INSTALLATION
Only a few simple steps are necessary to
obtain the comfort offered by Pinguino.
•Fit the air exhaust hose (14) in its housing (5)
at the rear of the appliance as shown in fig.1
•If you have a double window, use the
suckers (16) supplied to keep the panes from
opening wide (figure 3).
•Fit the window discharge attachment (15)
to the end of the hose (14)
•Place the air-conditioning unit at a win-
dow or French window
•Open the window a little and position the
attachment (15) as shown in fig. 2.

Pinguino is equipped with an adjustable win-
dow bracket 18. If you have a sliding window,
place the bracket on the window sill, extend
the bracket fully within the window frame and
lower the window onto the bracket. Insert the
nozzle of the exhaust hose into the slot, then
connect the hose to the air conditioner
(Fig.4).
Thanks to the wing nut, it’s possible to use the
window bracket also for sliding windows. Position
the hole of the bracket to allow a correct instal-
lation of the exhaust hose (see the following
instructions).
If you have a sliding door, use the additional
set provided in order to extend the accessory
to the desired length; joining the two parts
(fig. 5), adjust the total length according to
your needs then, fit the bracket with the rele-
vant nuts, close the door and connect the
hose (fig. 6).

AIR CONDITIONING WITH SEMI-PERMA-
NENT INSTALLATION
If desired, Pinguino can also be installed on a
semi-permanent basis fig. 7.
•Fit the flange (13) supplied to the hole.
•Fix the hose (14) in the housing at the rear
of the appliance (fig 1)
•Fit the end of the hose to the flange (15)
as shown in fig. 9.
In this case it will be necessary to:
•Drill a hole in a perimeter wall or in a win-
dow pane. Observe the height limits (fig.
9) and the dimensions of the hole given in
fig. 8.
4.2" / 106 mm
MAX 45,3"
MIN 19,7"
MAX 115 cm
MIN 50 cm
When the hose (14) is not connected, the
hole can be closed off with the flange stop-
per (13).
N.B.
When operating the appliance with semi-per-
manent installation, it is advisable to leave a
door slightly ajar (even only 1cm), to ensure
free circulation of air.

DEHUMIDIFICATION
Position the appliance in the room without
inserting the air exhaust hose (14); this ensures
that the dehumidified air will be released
directly into the atmosphere.
The air emitted through the front grill will be
cold while the air from the rear will be warm
(fig. 10) thus ensuring that the room is dehu-
midified without variation in temperature.
