The portable SMEG air conditioner exhaust hose gets very hot, and the room does not cool well.

Safety first: Ensure the unit is unplugged before adjusting hose connections.

• Straighten hose: Keep the exhaust hose as short and straight as possible; avoid sharp bends.
• Seal window kit: Ensure the window adapter is well sealed so hot air cannot re-enter the room.
• Clear outlet: Make sure the outside exhaust outlet is not blocked by screens, plants, or covers.
• Room sealing: Close doors and windows to prevent warm air infiltration.

Portable units have limited capacity; correct hose installation is critical for performance.
