WHAT IS THE WATER-AIR PINGUINO

During the summer, you feel comfortable at a temperature of between 75 - 80°F (24 - 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 wall mounted 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 coil 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.

In exclusive De’longhi water-air models, the heat is removed from the room through the cooling effect of the water which is obviously much greater than air.

This gives this air conditioner unbeatable cooling efficiency.

PREPARING fOR USE

The instructions below will enable you to prepare your air conditioner 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 your appliance:

• Fit the air exhaust hose in the housing at the back of the appliance (fig. 1).

• If you have a sash window, place the window bracket (T) on the window sill, extend the window bracket fully within the window frame, fix the window bracket by using the locking pin then lower the window onto the window bracket. Insert the window outlet

(N) of the exhaust hose (K) into the slot, then connect the hose to the air conditioner (fig.

4).

4

• Fit the window outlet (N) to the end of the hose (K).

• Place the air conditioner near a window or

French window.

• Adjust the length of the hose to reach the window.

• Make sure the air exhaust hose is unobstructed.

• Open the window or French window slightly and position the outlet (fig. 2).

2

• Thanks to the locking pins, it’s possible to use the window bracket also for sliding windows. Position the hole of the window bracket so to allow a correct installation of the exhaust hose (see figure 5).

5

• If you have a double window, use the sucker

(Q) provided to hold the two parts of the window together (fig. 3).

5

Keep the air hose as short and free of curves as possible to avoid bottlenecks.

Air-conditioning with installation

If required, your appliance can be installed semipermanently (Fig. 6).

Proceed as follows:

• Drill a 5.27 inch (134 mm) dia. hole in an outside wall or through a window pane, respecting the heights shown in fig. 7.

MAX 39 inch

MIN 14 inch in the wall: you are recommended to insulate the section of wall using suitable insulation.

• Fit the air exhaust hose (K) in the housing at the back of the appliance (fig. 1).

• Fit the end of the hose to the flange (S).

When the hose is not fitted, the hole can be closed with the flange cap.

• Remove the cap at the back of the appliance

(G) and replace with the drain hose plus cap

(U) as shown in figure 11. This enables the condensate to be drained more easily at the end of the season. See the section: “END OF

SEASON OPERATIONS”.

Keep the air hose as short and free of curves as possible to avoid bottlenecks.

When installing the air conditioner semipermanently, you should leave a door slightly open, as little as 0.5 inch (1 cm), to guarantee correct ventilation.

PREPARING fOR OPERATION IN WA-

TER MODE

Once the appliance has been installed, it is ready for use.

However, its efficiency can be enhanced by operating it in De’Longhi’s patented water mode.

The water in the tank increases the cooling power of your Pinguino and at the same time reduces noise levels and electrical consumption.

Compared to air, water reduces the temperature of the cooling circuit much more efficiently, before being given off from the air exhaust hose in the form of vapour.

Remember that:

• You must always use salt-free clean water, tap water is recommended.

• The length of time the water in the tank lasts depends greatly on environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, insulation, the sun exposure of the room, the number of people present, etc. As an estimate, the water lasts about six hours.

The BOOST function (see page 13) shortens the operating time to about 4 hours, but the cooling power and efficiency are increased.

• When the water in the tank runs out, the light comes on and operation of the appliance switches automatically to air-air. ke lightly. After about a minute, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 red squares appear, depending on the hardness of the water. The appliance can be set to three different water hardness levels soft (H1), medium (H2) and hard (H3). Determine the hardness of the water you will be using by comparing the red squares on the indicator paper with the table below.

Water hardness indicator

19 Soft

Medium

Level

H1

H2

The appliance is fitted with a resin limescale filter enabling normal tap water to be used.

The resins reduce water hardness and therefore prolong the working life of the appliance.

Hard

H3

To set water hardness, proceed as follows:

1. Set the appliance to stand-by.

2. Hold the FAN button on the control panel down for 10 seconds. The appliance emits a beep and H1, H2 or H3 is displayed.

3. Use the + or - buttons to set the hardness level according to the table below. Wait a few seconds for the setting to be memorized. The appliance emits another beep and goes back to stand-by.

“ CF ” is displayed when the limescale filter needs replacing. The efficacy of the filter depends on water hardness. It should, however, be replaced every five years.

Setting water hardness

Measure water hardness using the indicator paper provided.

• Remove the indicator paper from its pack

(R).

• Immerse the paper completely in a glass of water for one second.

• Remove the paper from the water and sha-

The machine is set by default for medium hardness (H2).

filling the tank

The water tank is located at the bottom of the appliance. Push in on the Tank Door (J) above the word PULL, and pull the tank out as far as it will go (fig. 12). Remove the cap and use a container

(bottle, jug, watering can) to pour in the water

(fig. 13/14). You can see when the tank is full through the filling hole. It holds a maximum of

21 pints (10 liters).

14

Replacing the limescale filter

Turn the appliance off and unplug it from the outlet.

Make sure there is no water in the appliance by emptying the tank and internal tray as described in the section: “End of season operations”.

Lay the appliance on its back as shown in figure

16. Rest it on a towel or piece of cardboard to avoid scratches or damage. Remove the filter cover by unscrewing the four screws (fig. 16).

Remove the filter delicately and loosen the two ties, making sure the two hoses connecting the filter do not slip inside the appliance. Fit the new filter, following the same procedure in reverse

(fig. 16-17). The notch on the filter (see figure

15) indicates the correct direction. The notch must always be towards the inside of the appliance and point “A” must be facing upwards.

15

Replace the cap correctly and close the tank, pushing it in as far as it will go. The tank hole has a mesh filter to prevent the introduction of foreign matter. If necessary, this filter can be unscrewed and removed for cleaning under running water.

• The tank does not have to be full to use the water function, but the length of time the appliance will operate in water mode will be shorter.

• Do not fill above the level of the hole to avoid the water overflowing. The tank has no overflow prevention system.

Water may leak out while replacing the limescale filter. You should therefore perform the operation in a suitable location.

After replacing the filter, wait at least an hour before starting the machine again.

When the filter has been replaced, turn the alarm off by pressing the ON/STAND-BY button (15) for 10 seconds.

The appliance emits a beep.

We warrant each De’Longhi AIR CONDITIONER to be free from defects in material and workmanship.

From the purchase date, our obligation under this warranty is to provide one (1) year free parts and labor on the entire AIR CONDITIONER, with an additional four (4) years free on any part of the sealed system consisting of the compressor, evaporator, condenser and factory connected refrigerant tubing.

Labor and all other parts during the additional four (4) year warranty are to be paid by the owner. All

AIR CONDITIONERS in need of repair are to be shipped to an authorized De’Longhi service center at the owner’s expense, and De’Longhi will then incur the return shipping costs. After the first five (5) years of ownership, all expenses (all parts, labor and shipping) are to be paid by the owner of the unit. This warranty shall apply only if the AIR CONDITIONER is used in accordance with the factory directions that accompany it, and on an Alternating Current (AC) circuit. This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties and representations, expressed or implied, and all other obligations or liabilities on our part.
