PERMANENT INSTALLATION

The Pinguino accessories include two sets of flanges and stoppers, to be mountedl in different locations (two different rooms). Once installed, these vents (flanges) are the only items needed for using Pinguino. Permanent installation outlet holes must be in an exterior wall and opening diameter should not exceed 31/2.

In case of fixed installation, air discharged from rear hose has been extracted from the room where the appliance is installed. Check that the room (especially if small) is not air-tight; a drop in pressure would cause irregular functioning, which could consequently activate reset switch. Air entering through door and window cracks is normally sufficient. If deemed, necessary leave a door ajar (approx. 1 cm is enough).

TEMPORARY INSTALLATION
Note: In both cases (permanent and temporary installations) make sure that the Pinguino is positioned on level ground. If necessary use the two caster stops for the front casters This installation makes it easy to use Pinguino in any room, provided there is a window or a door: it allows you to use the Pinguino immediately.

Suction discs may be used to keep window or door closed.
If you have a sash door, use the additional set provided in order to extend the accessory to the desired length; joining the two parts (fig. 8), adjust the total lenghth according to your needs then, fix the bracket with the relevant nuts, close the door and connect the hose (fig. 9).

Pinguino is equipped with an adjustable window bracket. If you have a sash 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.7). Thanks to the wing nut, its possible to use the window bracket also for sliding windows. Position the hole of the bracket so to allow a correct installation of the exhaust hose.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Check that the power supply voltage is 115 V ~ 60 Hz. Important: if you need to use and extension cord, please be sure to use a heavy duty extension cord (minimum 14 gauge). Before connecting the Pinguino to power supply, make sure that all switches on the front control panel are in the OFF position. Connect power cord found in storage compartment at rear of the Pinguino.

fig. 13

fig. 15 fig. 14
Shade the room as far as possible from direct sunlight by drawing curtains and/or lowering blinds or shutters, for economical and efficient air-cooling.
Ensure that intake and outlet vents (fig. 2 and 3) are not blocked. Make sure there are no sources of heat in the room.

SETTING THE TIMER The programmer/timer, like all clocks, must be set to the exact time. If for example it is 4.00 p.m., turn the dial in a clockwise direction (following the direction of the arrow) until the number 4 is lined up with the arrow pointer (the arrows indicates 4:00 p.m. approximately).
1) Release B timer button 2) Set the operating times by pushing out the notches on the dial corresponding to the period required (each notch represents 15 mins.). 3) Check that the timer indicates the correct time (see instructions on setting).

Operating time

eg. from 9 to 11 a.m.

arrow pointer

Note:Never turn the dial in an anti-clockwise direction! The timer is in effect, an electric clock and works only if the plug is connected to the power supply. Whenever the plug is disconnected or there is a power failure, the programmer stops (the clock is then slow) and must be re-set. The unit can be used in either programmed or non-programmed mode. PROGRAMMED MODE
4) Select the desired function as shown in the chart overleaf. The unit will now switch on and off each day at the selected times. Note: To override the programmed operating times, simply press the ON/OFF key. NON-PROGRAMMED MODE 1) B TIMER button must be pressed 2) Select the desired function as shown in the chart on the following page.
Note: For technical reasons, the temperature is not expressed in degrees but by a line increasing in thickness. We therefore recommend that when starting up the appliance, the thermostat be turned to maximum (thick green line = maximum cold). When the desired temperature has been reached, turn the thermostat slowly away from the maximum cooling position until the appliance switches off. Leave the thermostat in this position. The air-conditioner is now programmed to maintain the exact temperature at all times. After switching the appliance off, wait at least 3 min. before switching on again.
