ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
Before using your cigar humidor, complete the following steps:
•Remove all exterior and interior packaging
•Make sure the following parts are included:
o3 wood shelves
o2 keys
o1 moisture container
o1 instruction manual
Before operating your cigar humidor for the first time, follow these steps:
1. Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
2. Place your appliance on a flat surface strong enough to support the
appliance when it is fully loaded. To level your humidor, adjust the front
legs at the bottom of the appliance.
3. Ensure the cabinet is located away from direct sunlight and sources of heat
(i.e.: stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect its acrylic
coating. Extreme cold or hot ambient room temperatures may also cause
the appliance to not perform properly and/or increase electrical
consumption.
4. The appliance is intended for indoor use only.
CAUTION: Please keep the cabinet away from combustible materials or
substances.
FACTORY ODOR REMOVAL
Wash the interior of the humidor with a mild detergent and warm water. Make
sure to not get the wood wet. Leave the door open and allow it to air
dry thoroughly. If a “plastic” smell persists, place a dish of baking soda in the
unit or stuff the humidor with newspapers overnight. When finished, let the
unit run a full day to complete the airing out process.
DRAWER SET-UP
The drawers and shelves included with this humidor are designed to sit flush
with the front edge of the cabinet. This will allow air to circulate freely through
the unit. When inserting the drawers and shelves, avoid pushing them all the
way against the rear wall of the cabinet.

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 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.

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.
HOW TO SET TEMPERATURE:
There are four touch-buttons on the control panel:
Increases or decreases the set temperature by 1 degree
(temp range is 52 - 74°F).
Button turns on or off the interior light.
Selects temperature display setting Fahrenheit or Celsius.

CIGAR STORAGE GUIDE
•The ideal temperature for storing cigars is between 65° and 73°F.
•The ideal relative humidity (RH) for storing cigars is between 65% and 75%
RH. To properly maintain RH in this unit, you will need to include a method
of adding humidity. For your convenience, a moisture container is
included.
•To add humidity to the unit using the included moisture container, simply
fill the container with distilled water or a damp sponge wet with distilled
water and place it back in the unit. Please note this water should be
changed after reaching the desired humidity and refilled when used again.
•Keep cigars out of direct sunlight to avoid exposure to damaging UV rays.
•It is recommended to keep cigars in their original boxes and packaging as
long as possible. Keep unwrapped cigars separate in your humidor to avoid
unwanted mingling of flavors.
•Check cigars regularly for signs of tobacco beetles and mold, and take
preventative measures if necessary.
•Properly stored cigars can improve with age for as long as 5-10 years, and
can be kept even longer in ideal conditions.
