What are the Pinguino and SuperPinguino?
uring the summer, you feel comfortable at a temperature of between 24 and 27 C with a relative humidity of about 50%. An air conditioning unit removes excess moisture and heat from the room where it is located. Compared with installed models, portable air conditioning units 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 re-emitted into the room. In single unit models (Pinguino), a small part of this air is used to cool the refrigerant gas and then, when hot and damp, is discharged outside. In models with case (SuperPinguino), the circuit is cooled using air from outside. All Pinguino and SuperPinguino models can also be used in fan-only mode.
The Pinguino ECO is a latest generation environmentally-friendly air conditioning unit. 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.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, check that: the mains power supply corresponds to the value indicated on the rating plate on the back of the appliance; the mains socket and electrical circuit are adequate for the appliance; the mains socket matches the plug. If this is not the case, have the plug replaced; the mains socket is adequately earthed. Failure to follow these important safety instructions absolves the manufacturer of all liability. The power cable must be replaced by a qualified professional only.

The instructions below will enable you to prepare your air conditioning unit 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 ensured with Pinguino: Fit the air exhaust hose 12 in the housing
at the back of the appliance. Insert it as

shown in figure A.

If you have a double window, use the suckers 14 provided to hold the two parts of the window together (fig. C).
Fit the window outlet 12 to the end of the hose 13. Place the air conditioning unit near a window or French window. Make sure the air exhaust hose is unobstructed. Open the window or French window slightly and position the outlet 13 as shown in figure B. Keep air hoses as short and free of curves as possible to avoid constrictions.

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 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.

AIR PURIFYING FILTERS

he appliance is fitted with a silver ion dust filter which retains the impurities in the air drawn in from the room and a 3M electrostatic filter which retains the finest dust particles (fig. 32).

SILVER ION FILTER

The silver ion filter not just retains dust particles, but also has an efficient antibacterial action. It also greatly reduces concentrations of irritants such as pollen and spores. The filter is treated with small particles of silver (on the scale of millionths of a millimetre) which are able to block the multiplication of and destroy any bacteria or spores they come into contact with.
do not cover the appliance

3M filter

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 special attachments on the dust filter already inside the intake grille.
