The air conditioned air completely pressurizes the untempered air toward the exhaust hood, thus preventing the hot air from entering the kitchen. The hot air is forced into the exhaust hood to be exhausted and the cool, air conditioned air is free to mix with the air in the conditioned

the air line may not be pushed all the way in or cut squarely. NOTE: The Air Command kit is designed to monitor the air pressure in the air springs not the pressure be-tween the air compressor and the gauge. If no air is reaching the air springs, or the pressure will not release from the air springs, the air line tubing connections may be reversed.
