ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before plugging the appliance into the outlet,
check that:
• the power supply corresponds to the value
indicated on the rating plate on the back of
the appliance;
• the outlet and electrical circuit are adequate
for the appliance;
• the outlet matches the plug. If this is not the
case, have the plug replaced;
• the outlet is a properly grounded 3 hole
outlet.
failure to follow these important safety
instructions absolves the manufacturer of all
liability.
WHAT IS THE pINGUINO
During the summer, you feel comfortable at a
temperature of between 75 - 80°f (24 - 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 wall mounted 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 coil
cooled by refrigerant gas. Excess heat and moi-
sture are removed before the air is re-emitted
into the room.
With portable air conditioners, a small part of this
air is used to cool the refrigerant gas and then,
when hot and damp, is discharged outside.
In the spring and autumn, the appliance can also
be used to heat.
The efficient heat pump system provides 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 conditioner for operation as efficiently
as possible.
Before use, make sure the air intake and outlet
grilles are unobstructed.
Air-conditioning without installation
Just a few simple steps and your comfort is en-
sured with your appliance:
• fit the air exhaust hose (F) in the housing at
the back of the appliance (fig. 1).
• In order to improve the performance of the-
appliance in air conditioning and boost
(supercool) modes, you can also fit
the intake hose accessory (M) in its housing
in the back of the appliance as shown in figu-
re 1A. This step is optional.
• fit the window outlet (n) to the end of the
hose (L/M).
• 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.
Sash window
for optimum results:
• If you have a sash window, place the bracket
(U) or (V) according to your needs, on the
window sill, extend the bracket fully within
the window frame, fix the bracket by using the
locking pin then lower the window onto the
bracket. Insert the window outlet (n) of the
exhaust hose (L) into the slot, then connect
the hose to the airconditioner (fig. 2 and 2A).
Thanks to the locking pins, it’s possible to use
the window bracket also for sliding windows.
