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 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.
• 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 connec-
tor. 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 out-
side the window (max. height 1 m) (fig. 8).
AIR-CONDITIONING WITH INSTALLATION
If required, your appliance can also be installed semi-perma-
nently (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 gua-
rantee 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 connec-
tor. 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 enhan-
ced 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 con-
sumption. 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 air-
air. 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) beco-
mes completely red (about 14 l).
• After filling, put the rubber cap back in place, then close the
door.

window
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.

AIR CONDITIONING MODE (FIG. 19)
Ideal for hot muggy weather when you need to cool and dehu-
midify the room.
Always make sure the water fill door is completely closed before
setting this mode.
To set this mode correctly:
• Press the MODE button a number of times until the air-condi-
tioning symbol appears.
• Select the target temperature by pressing the or but-
ton until the corresponding value is displayed.
• Select the required fan speed by pressing the FAN button.
Four speeds are available:
Maximum speed: to achieve the target tempe-
rature as rapidly as possible
Medium speed: reduces noise levels but still
maintains a good level of comfort
Low speed: for silent operation
AUTOFAN: the appliance automatically selects
the most suitable fan speed in relation to the
temperature set on the digital display.
The most suitable temperature for the room during the summer
varies from 24 to 27°C. You are recommended, however, not to
set a temperature much below the outdoor temperature.
DEHUMIDIFYING MODE (FIG. 20)
Ideal to reduce room humidity (spring and autumn, damp rooms,
rainy periods, etc).
In dehumidifying mode, the appliance should be prepared in the
same way as for air conditioning, with the air exhaust hose atta-
ched to enable the moisture to be discharged outside.
To set this mode correctly:
• Press the MODE button a number of times until the dehumidif-
ying symbol appears.
In this mode, fan speed is selected automatically by the applian-
ce and cannot be set manually.
