OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
It is recommended that you setup the cigar cabinet in a place where the
ambient temperature is between 50 - 77°F. If the ambient temperature is
above or below recommended temperatures, the performance of the unit may
be affected. For example, placing in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause
the interior temperature to fluctuate or not reach the appliance's range.
The temperature may fluctuate depending on whether the interior light is on or
off or how cigars are placed on the upper, middle, or lower section.
SEASONING YOUR CIGAR HUMIDOR
It is best to season your wood shelves and drawers before adding your cigars so
that the wood is at an ideal relative humidity (RH) and does not absorb
humidity from your cigars. To season your new cigar humidor:
1. Add distilled water to the included moisture container or add a sponge
that is damp with distilled water. Make sure that the water is not touching
the wood directly or this may damage the wood.
2. Allow the moisture container, or other humidity-adding device, to sit in the
humidor until it reaches a relative humidity of 5% higher than your
preferred level. This process may take as long as 3 days but is the best way
to ensure your cigars stay optimal.
3. Once the humidor reaches this mark, you can begin to add cigars. You may
add a few at a time in order to monitor the RH and make sure it stays at a
level you want it at. If it drops too much, you can use the same seasoning
method to bring it back up.
NOTE: During this entire process, it is recommended to not open the door
unnecessarily, as this lets moisture escape and can delay the process.
