Sorry I don't have an easy fix...

The compressor overheating safety switch it off for protection from overheating and result in complete damage of the compressor.
One posible reason is the condenser is full of dust.
Remove the grille and either sweep away or vacuum dust that is readily accesible.
This easy cleaning should be done at least once a year for most efficient operation.
Loss of the refrigerant charge will also cause the compressor to overheat. It is the cool return gas coming back to the compressor that helps to keep it from overheating.

As you can see there are many things that can go wrong with an air conditioner and I have not come close to exhausting the possibilities here. I have just touched on the most common problems in a very basic way.
There are some basic trouble shooting things that can be done very easily. Most problems are above out of the range of comfort for many homeowners and professional help should be consulted before any attempt is made at repairs.

THis unis is no longer being made so finding a manual will be a challenge. Remove the filter and use it without one for tonight. then get a new filter tomorrow. be cool.

That's because this unit is only designed to cool a room to approximately 75 degrees. http://www.fixya.com/support/p114531-delonghi_pinguino_pac_700t_air/manual-1811/page-2 It's not supposed to make the room cold, just comfortably cool. It automatically switches off of Cooling when it achieves this. If you want it cooler, you'll have to get a traditional air conditioner unit (like a window unit).
