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 ano-
ther.
Hot air from the room is passed through a coil
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 dis-
charged outside.
In the spring and autumn, the
appliance can also be used to
heat.
The efficient heat pump system pro-
vides a high heating capacity with
low energy consumption.
All Pinguino models can also be used
in fan-only mode.

PREPARING FOR USE
The instructions below will enable you to prepare your air condi-
tioner for operation as efficiently as possible.
Before use, make sure the air intake and outlet grilles are unob-
structed.
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.

AIR PURIFYING FILTERS
The T130ARC model is fitted with a dust filter which retains impu-
rities in the air drawn in from the room and a 3M® electrostatic fil-
ter (fig. 31)
SILVER ION FILTER
The silver ion filter not just retains dust particles, but also has an
efficient antibacterial action. It also greatly reduces concentra-
tions of irritants such as pollen and spores.
The filter is treated with small particles of silver (on the scale of mil-
lionths of a millimetre) which are able to block the multiplication
of and destroy any bacteria or spores they come into contact
with.
3M® ELECTROSTATIC FILTER
The 3M® electrostatic filter retains the finest dust particles, thus
enhancing the filtering capacity of the appliance.
To use the 3M® electrostatic filter:
A) Remove the intake grille
B) Remove the filter from the packaging
C) Use the two plastic edges of the 3M filter to hook it to the spe-
cial attachments on the dust filter already inside the intake
grille.
D) Replace the grille on the appliance.
