ISTRUZIONI PER L'USO Climatizzatore CT300 - CT300H Dear Sir/Madam We thank you for purchasing this Pinguino appliance and congratulate you on your wise choice. Please make the time and effort to read this manual carefully. Becoming familiar with the Pinguino is an essential step if you are to benefit fully from its exceptional qualities, during both installation and actual use. We hope that the Pinguino will become a welcome friend this summer, a source of comfort and refreshment. Best wishes De Longhi S.p.A. 20 GENERAL DESCRIPTION Pinguino is a very versatile air conditioner because it can operate both through water condensation as well as air condensation. The User may choose the operational method: 1) WATER FUNCTION - When excellent efficiency, lower energy consumption, and greater speed in reaching the ideal climatic conditions are desired. This function is especially useful when the appliance is just turned on and when the room temperature is quite warm. When the water reserve (in the tank) has been used up, Pinguino automatically changes to the air functioning mode. 2) AIR FUNCTION - This is the normal air conditioning function.

The appliance must be fitted at least 30 cm. from the surrounding walls. 30 cm 30 cm When installed permanently, all air discharged from the rear hose is extracted from the room in which the appliance is installed. Check that the room (particularly if it is small) is not "air-tight"; a drop in pressure could cause a malfunction and thereby activate the safety switch. Air entering the room through door and window cracks is normally sufficient. If necessary, leave a door slightly ajar (a gap of approx.1 cm. is adequate). The unit can also be used as a "temporary" installation for use in any room with a window or french window; this "temporary" installation can be used at any time until it is ready for permanent installation. Note.: In either case, check that the unit is resting on at "perfectly level" surface. If necessary, use the 2 castor stops for the front castors. 30 cm PERMANENT INSTALLATION WITH PLUG AND FLANGE The outlet holes must be connected to the outside of the building and cannot be made in any wall or panel. A1 in a window pane A2 through the wooden base-section of a glass door A3 in the wall 24 Ø 95 mm Height of outlet: within the range indicated by the dotted line in the figure below. When the unit is not in use, the outlet hole should be sealed with the stopper supplied. Temporary installation: The outlet holes can be connected in a number of ways: fixed hook In any event, for maximum cooling efficiency the window should be closed as much as possible. It is advisable : -- to keep the outlet free of any obstruction; -- to lower the blind partially, without obstructing the outlet, thereby reducing exposure to direct sunlight and indoor/outdoor air exchange. INSTALLATION FOR HEATING FUNCTION (Model CT300H) The unit is simply placed in the room to be heated; there is no need for the discharge hose to be installed. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS -- The mains supply, suitable for domestic electrical appliances, must correspond to the power requirements of the air conditioner (power consumption value shown in Table 1). -- Check that the power supply voltage is: 220/240 V-50 Hz -- Check that the mains socket is correctly earthed. Note: In the case that the power cable becomes damaged, this must be substituted only by specialised personnel authorised by the manufacturer. THIS APPLIANCE IS MANUFACTURED TO COMPLY WITH THE RADIO INTERFERENCE REQUIREMENTS PROVIDED BY COUNCIL DIRECTIVE EN 55014. 25 min. cm 30 max. cm 120 PREPARING THE UNIT FOR USE 1) Fit the exhaust tube in place; if your conditioner is supplied with a bayonet tube, it is fitted as illustrated in the diagram. 2) For permanent installation, place the appliance near the wall or window outlet. Make sure it is standing on a level surface and fit the special shock absorbers/castor stops underneath the castors. 3) The exhaust hose can be compressed or extended between 500 mm. and 1400 mm., 1 2 but is best used at minimum length. Never stretch the hose. HOW TO PREPARE WATER CONTAINER Use only clean, salt-free tap water. The water is essential for the air cooling operation and is discharged in the form of steam through the exhaust outlet. A container full of water lasts for a period that depends on a number of conditions such as temperature, humidity, insulation, exposure of the room, number of people present, etc. On average it will last approximately 7 to 10 hours. When the container is empty, the appliance automatically changes function from water to air. At the same time, the quantity of air discharged from the rear hose will increase. Open the water container compartment door, tip the container forwards and lift up to remove. Remove the cap, pull out the extendable tube and fill the container, standing it on the floor. After filling, replace the extendable tube, screw the cap on tightly and return the container to its place, making sure the word FRONT is facing out. During "water condensation" cooling function and in particularly quiet surroundings (eg. bedroom), a slight gurgling noise may be heard. This may be regarded as perfectly normal. Attention: Do not use water containing cooking salt or decalcified water which has been decalcified through the use of certain salts. 26 AIR COOLING FUNCTION If the air cooling function of air-conditioner is chosen, it is not necessary to fill the water container. FINAL CHECK In order to obtain maximum performance from your air-conditioner, make sure that: -- doors and windows in the room to be air-conditioned are closed (except for temporary installation, in which case a window must be left partially open). CLOSE THE WINDOWS CLOSE THE DOORS DRAW THE CURTAINS -- the room is well shaded from direct sunlight by drawing curtains and/or partially lowering blinds or shutters, to avoid excessive energy consumption LOWER THE BLINDS -- the intake and outlet vents are free of any obstruction at all times -- there are no sources of heat in the room. DO NOT COVER THE AIR-CONDITIONER IS NOW READY FOR USE, so let's now take a look at the controls. 27 CONTROL PANEL (Mod. CT300H) ON/OFF pilot light ON/OFF button A B C Heating pilot light air-conditionig/ heating button Timer notches Timer ON/OFF pilot light Selecting fan speed button Thermostat 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. (16.00), turn the dial in a clockwise direction (following the direction of the arrow) until the number 16 is lined up with the triangular pointer (the arrows indicates 4:00 p.m. approximately ). PROGRAMMED MODE 1) Position the timer switch in the TIMER ON position (the TIMER ON/OFF warning light on the control panel will light up). 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 Funzionamento 21 20 19 16 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 nonprogrammed mode. 21 20 19 16 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. NON-PROGRAMMED MODE In case the programmed functioning is not desired, it is not necessary to vary the program; in this case, it will be sufficient to turn the TIMER to the OFF position.
