DeLonghi PINGUINO-PAC-C120E user manual

No, you do not need to drain the DeLonghi Pinguino PAC-C120E portable air conditioner. It has a self-evaporative system that eliminates the need for manual drainage. The unit uses the condensed water to cool down the condenser, and any excess water is evaporated and expelled through the air exhaust.

There could be several reasons why your DeLonghi air conditioner (Pinguino PAC C120E) is not blowing cold air. Here are a few possible explanations:
1. Incorrect Temperature Settings: Ensure that the temperature is set to a cool or low setting. If it is set too high, the air conditioning unit may not blow cold air.
2. Dirty Air Filter: A dirty air filter can restrict airflow and reduce the cooling efficiency of the unit. Clean or replace the air filter regularly as recommended in the user manual.
3. Blocked Air Vents: Check if any furniture or other objects are obstructing the air vents on the unit or in the room. Clear any obstructions to allow better airflow.
4. Improper Installation: If the air conditioner is not installed correctly, it may not function properly. Ensure that the exhaust hose is properly connected and that there are no leaks or kinks in the tubing.
5. Low Refrigerant Levels: If the unit has a refrigerant leak, it may not be able to cool the air efficiently. In this case, you may need to contact a professional technician to inspect and repair the unit.
6. Faulty Compressor or Components: A malfunctioning compressor or other internal components could prevent the air conditioner from blowing cold air. In this case, it is advisable to seek professional assistance for diagnosis and repair.
If none of these potential issues resolve the problem, it is best to refer to the user manual or contact DeLonghi's customer support for further troubleshooting guidance.

Yes, the DeLonghi Pinguino PAC-C120E portable air conditioner needs to be vented outside. It uses a hose to exhaust hot air outside through a window or another opening. This is necessary to remove the heat generated by the air conditioner and maintain cooling efficiency.
