WHAT IS THE PINGUINO

uring 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 coil cooled by refrigerant gas. Excess heat and moisture are removed before the air is reemitted 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 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.

If you have any doubts check with a qualified electrician. 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 precautions 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 containers (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 DeLonghi 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 constructed 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 similar 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 transportation, 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.

How does your Pinguino work
uring the summer, optimum comfort is achieved with a temperature of between 24 and 27C
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 before, hot and moist air is being discharged outside. In suitcase models, the circuit is cooled using the air outside.
ECO by Pinguino is the latest generation of ecological air conditioners. Pinguino does not contain gases dangerous to the earth's ozone layer (CFC/HCFC). In addition,
thanks to the extreme efficiency of the appliance, not only does it save you money on your electric bills, but it saves the environment by not negatively contributing to the greenhouse effect."

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 8 needs to be filled with water. The water 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 16 (it does not go into room). Always use clean top water (which doesnt 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, insulation 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 require the lower cooling power.
A) To open the front panel 6 grip either side of the panel and gently pull the panel towards you and upwards. Remove the tank 8 Lifting it forward.
B) Turn the tank upside down and remove the plug, remove the extendible tube and fill the tank, leaving it on the ground.
C) After completing the filling 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 position.
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 32C or over the airconditioner must be operated with with water in the tank.
