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. MODELS WITH R290 REFRIGERANT GAS The Pinguino ECO is a latest generation environmentally-friendly air conditioner. The Pinguino ECO does not, in fact, contain gases (CFC/HCFC) dangerous to the ozone layer or with a marked greenhouse effect (HFC). 5 DESCRIPTION 1 air outlet grille 2 control panel 3 castors 4 handles 5 remote control receiver 6 filter 7 intake grille 8 air exhaust hose housing 9 condensate drain 10 cavo di alimentazione 11 power cable 12 air exhaust hose 13 window outlet 14 suckers 15 castor locks 16 remote control 17 window bracket 6 PREPARING FOR USE The instructions below will enable you to prepare your air conditioner for operation as efficiently as possible.
