Installation
Electrical Connection
Before plugging into the mains, check the following:
• the mains voltage is the same as that indicated on the plate on the
back of the appliance;
• the socket and electrical line are sized to support the load required;
• the socket is the proper type for the plug, otherwise, replace the
socket;
• the socket is connected to an ecient earthing system.
The manufacturer is not responsible in the event of noncompliance
with these injury prevention standards.
The power cable must only be replaced by specialised techni-
cians.
Please note: The instructions below will enable you to prepare your air
conditioner for operation as eciently as possible. Before use, make sure
the air intake and outlet grilles are unobstructed.
Please note: This appliance is provided with an auto-evaporation feature
for condensate removal during cooling and dehumidifying modes.
What is the inverter technology
The Inverter technology has been designed to oer the best comfort with
optimised energy consumption. It guarantees very high cooling power
to rapidly reach the set temperature, which is then maintained constant
over time. This technology is essentially based on an electronic device
that allows frequency variations of the electric motor, to adjust the ro-
tation speed of the compressor and obtain a modulation of the cooling
power.
This device eliminates the sequence of On–O required by conventional
air conditioners to keep a xed room temperature, with consequential
high temperature uctuations around the set temperature and longer
time gaps before it is reached.
The Pinguino Inverter always operates at the optimum cooling capacity
and the maximum energy eciency as the power consumption is limited
to eective requirements, both in periods of average and low thermal
load (morning or evening), and during the hotter and more humid times
(middle of the day), when the Inverter technology is especially valuable.

If you have a casement window proceed as follows:
• Fit the air exhaust hose (B2) in the relevant housing located on the
rear side of the appliance paying attention to align the two arrows
as shown in gure 1, in order to hook it. To remove the exhaust hose
rotate it in the clockwise or anticlockwise directions.
• Screw the window outlet (B7) and place outside the window to ex-
haust the hot air (g. 2).
double-hung window
If you have a double-hung window proceed as follows:
• Insert and lock the adapter for window bracket (B4) into the slot of
the window bracket (B5) (g.3)
• Place the window bracket in the window sill, and extend the bracket
fully within the window frame (g. 4).
• Fix the bracket by the wing nut (g. 5) (Should the window bracket
be too large for the window the plastic can be cut with a saw by a
qualied professional).
• Insert the air exhaust hose (B2) into the adapter for window bracket
(B4) and rotate it as shown in g. 6.
• In order to facilitate the tting of the air exhaust hose (B2) in the
relevant housing located on the rear side of the appliance, position
the hose adapter ‘s tabs (B6) in a vertical axis and proceed as shown
in g.1.

When using the air conditioner with installation, you should leave a
door slightly open (as little as 1 cm) to guarantee proper ventilation.
• Never use the appliance in very damp rooms (laundries for exam-
ple).
• Protect the room from direct exposure to the sun by partially closing
curtains and/or blinds to make the appliance much more economi-
cal to run.
• Never use the appliance outdoors.
•
Make sure there are no heat sources in the room.
• Make sure the air conditioner is standing on a level surface.
• Do not cover the appliance (g. 10).
• Never rest objects of any kind on the air conditioner.

Cleaning the cabinet
You should clean the appliance with a slightly damp cloth then dry with a
dry cloth. For safety reasons, never wash the air conditioner with water.
Attention! Never use petrol, alcohol or solvents to clean the appliance.
Never spray insecticide liquids or similar.
Cleaning air filter
The lter helps capture dust and pollen.
If the lter is dirty, air circulation is compromised and the eciency of
the appliance decreases. It is therefore good practice to clean the lter at
regular intervals. The frequency depends on the duration and conditions
of operation. If the unit is used constantly or systematically, you are rec-
ommended to clean the lter once a week.
The lter is housed in the intake grille. To clean the lter, extract as shown
in g. 12. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust collected on the lter.
If it is very dirty, immerse in warm water and rinse a number of times. The
water should never be hotter than 40°C.
After washing the lter, allow it to dry completely before repositioning it.
