To protect against fire, electric shock and personal injury, do not immerse cable, plug or appliance in water or other liquid. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Unplug from socket when not in use and before cleaning. Do not operate if the cable, plug or unit itself is damaged or faulty. Return the appliance to the nearest authorised service centre for examination, repair or adjustment. The use of accessories or spare parts other than those recommended by the manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock or personal injury. Do not use outdoors. Do not use the appliance in ways other than that for which it was intended. Do not place the power cable under strain. Avoid twisting and/or tangling. Ensure that the outlet of the discharge hose is kept free from debris and blockages. Do not obstruct the ventilation holes at the rear of the unit or the front grilles. The Pinguino should not be installed where there may be combustible gases in the atmosphere. Avoid using Pinguino in oily or sulphurous atmospheres or near sources of heat. Before moving the air conditioner, empty water from condensation tray (see drainage instructions on page 15). Do not place hot or heavy objects on the unit. Clean air filter every week (see instructions on page 16). To disconnect, turn control to "OFF", then unplug from wall socket. Important: if an extension is required, use heavy duty cable only (minimum 14 gauge - SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 4 pac160 GB 25-01-2003 10:19 Pagina 5 ing the summer, optimum comfort is achieved with a temperature of between 75-80°F (2427°C) and about 50% relative humidity. 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 Pinguino, a small part of this air is used to cool the refrigerant gas before, hot and moist, being discharged outside. Each Pinguino can also be used as a fan only.

If you have a sliding 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.4). Thanks to the wing nut, it's possible to use the window bracket also for sliding windows. Position the hole of the bracket to allow a correct installation of the exhaust hose (see the following instructions). If you have a sliding door, use the additional set provided in order to extend the accessory to the desired length; joining the two parts (fig. 5), adjust the total length according to your needs then, fit the bracket with the relevant nuts, close the door and connect the hose (fig. 6). 5 4 6 8 pac160 GB 25-01-2003 10:19 Pagina 9 AIR CONDITIONING WITH SEMI-PERMANENT INSTALLATION If desired, Pinguino can also be installed on a semi-permanent basis fig. 7. · Fit the flange (13) supplied to the hole. · Fix the hose (14) in the housing at the rear of the appliance (fig 1) · Fit the end of the hose to the flange (15) as shown in fig. 9. MAX 45,3" MAX 115 cm 12 " 30 cm MIN 19,7" MIN 50 cm 12 " 30 cm 9 7 When the hose (14) is not connected, the hole can be closed off with the flange stopper (13). N.B. When operating the appliance with semi-permanent installation, it is advisable to leave a door slightly ajar (even only 1cm), to ensure free circulation of air. In this case it will be necessary to: · Drill a hole in a perimeter wall or in a window pane. Observe the height limits (fig. 9) and the dimensions of the hole given in fig. 8. 4.2" / 106 mm DEHUMIDIFICATION Position the appliance in the room without inserting the air exhaust hose (14); this ensures that the dehumidified air will be released directly into the atmosphere. The air emitted through the front grill will be cold while the air from the rear will be warm (fig. 10) thus ensuring that the room is dehumidified without variation in temperature. In the windowpane In the base of the window frame 8 In the wall: we advise you to insulate the section of the wall with appropriate insulation material. 10 9 ENGLISH Setting up pac160 GB 25-01-2003 10:19 Pagina 10 Description of the control panel THE DISPLAY A.

On the display two lines will appear indicating Stand-by mode Press the ON/OFF button (A) and then the MODE button until the relevant function indicator appears viz.: Indicator C Indicator D Indicator E : air-conditioning : dehumidifying : ventilation AIR-CONDITIONING FUNCTION This function is ideal in hot, humid weather conditions when the atmosphere requires to be cooled and dehumidified. To ensure proper function of the appliance, after selecting the airconditioning function, press buttons + (F) or ­ (G) until the desired temperature appears on the display. The temperatures most suited to the atmosphere in summer vary between (24-27°C) 75°-80°F. We do not advise selection of temperatures much lower than those outside. Select fan speed by pressing the "FAN" button (Q) until the fan speed indicator appears: MAX (P): if you want the maximum power of the air-conditioner to reach the desired temperature as quickly as possible. MIN (O): if you want to reduce the level of noise and still maintain a good level of comfort. SILENT (N):when minimum noise is required, AUTO (M):if you prefer the appliance to select the fan speed for the temperature selected on the display panel. 77 DEHUMIDIFYING FUNCTION This function is ideal for reducing humidity in the atmosphere while avoiding increases or decreases in temperature (in between seasons, damp places, wet spells of weather). When you select the dehumidifying function, the letters " " will appear on the display. The water is collected in the tank at the rear of the appliance. When the tank is full, the appliance will stop working and the display will show the letters " " (Full Tank); the tank must then be emptied. When it is re-inserted, the appliance will re-start automatically. N.B. remove the air exhaust hose (14). In the air-conditioning function, the unit employs an exclusive condensation recycling system to dispose of excess moisture. In normal conditions, condensation is disposed of automatically. When the humidity is particularly high, an excess of condensation may built up in the TANK 9 . When this happens, the display will show the letters " " (Full Tank); indicating that the TANK should be emptied. Whenever conditions of high humidity make the problem recurrent, you may discharge the excess water directly into a drain, using the rubber tube supplied. The tube should be inserted into the hole provided, after having removed the rubber stopper. (see figure). Make sure the TANK is put back correctly otherwise the display will continue to show the letters " " 11 ENGLISH Operation pac160 GB 25-01-2003 10: ...
