• Never clean cigar cooler parts with ﬂammable liquids,as the fumes can create a ﬁre hazard or explosion.

• Do not store or use gasoline or any other ﬂammable liquids in the vicinity of this appliance.The fumes can

create a ﬁre hazard or explosion.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the unit.There are no user-serviceable parts.

• When choosing a location to store your cigar cooler, always ensure that the plug is accessible.

• Keep the unit out of direct sunlight

• Do not place the unit near any heat-generating appliances.

• Place the cigar cooler on a level surface that is strong enough to support the unit when it is fully loaded.

• Always keep the cigar cooler in a dry, well-ventilated space with an ambient temperature between 50°–

80°F (10°–26°C).

• Before connecting the unit to a power source for the ﬁrst time,allow it stand upright for approximately two (2)

hours.This will reduce the possibility of any system malfunctions which may have occurred from handling

during shipping.

• When positioning the cigar cooler,be sure to leave at least 6 inches of space at the back and 10 inches on

both sides.This is to ensure that none of the ventilation openings are blocked.

• Do not place any objects on top of the unit as this may block air circulation.

• This unit requires a standard 110V-60Hz electrical outlet.The unit should be properly grounded for your safety

and in order to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.

• Never cut or remove the ground wire from the supplied power cord.

• We do not recommend using extension cords with this product.

• The cord should be secured behind the cigar cooler.Also,to prevent accidental injury, do not expose or

dangle the cord.

• Do not install the cigar cooler in a closed cabinet or any other area that lacks proper ventilation.

• Do not remove the feet on the bottom of the cigar cooler.The unit requires at least 2 inches (50 mm) of

ground clearance.

SETTING UP THE CIGAR COOLER

1. When choosing a location to store the cigar cooler, be aware of the following:

a. Be sure that it is placed on a sturdy, level surface that is strong enough to support it when full.

b. Ensure there is at least 6-inches of space behind the cooler and 10-inces of space on either side.This will

ensure proper air ventilation.

c. It is not recommended to place the cooler on a carpet or rug.

2. Make sure the unit is level by rotating each of the bottom feet until it appears perfectly level and stable.You

may want to use a carpenter’s level to do this.

ATTACHING THE HANDLE

BEFORE FIRST USE

• When you ﬁrst turn on the cigar cooler, or restart it after an extended period of non-use, there could be a

few degrees variance between the temperatures you select and the one indicated on the LCD readout.

- This is normal and it is due to the length of the activation time. Leave the cigar cooler on for a few hours,

and normal operation will resume.

• Place the cigar cooler in a dry, well-ventilated space with ambient temperature between 50°–80°F

(10°–26°C).

NOTE: If the ambient temperature is above or below the recommended range,the unit's performance may be

affected. Extreme cold or hot conditions may cause the interior temperature to uctuate.This will then prevent

the optimal interior temperature range from being reached.

In addition, the temperature may uctuate depending on whether the interior light is on or off, and whether the

cigars are located on the upper, middle, or lower racks. Environments that are air-conditioned or experiencing

exceptionally low or high humidity may affect performance. For best results, the humidity in the room should be

between 50% to 75%.

1. Lightly pull away the door

gasket, being careful not

to remove it completely. It

is located on the inner left

side of the door where the

handle is to be installed.The

gasket is easily removed by

hand, no tools necessary.

2. Guide the two (2) included

screws through the pre-drilled

holes in the door until they

are entirely through.Then

align the handle with

the door.

3. Tighten the screws using

a Philips-head screwdriver

(not included) until the

handle sits ﬂush and is

secured tightly against

the door frame.

NOTE: DO NOT over-tighten,

as this will cause damage t

o the handle assembly.

4. Replace the door gasket

to its original position.

MAINTAINING CIGAR HUMIDITY

1. Fill the humidity tray (small plastic reservoir) to about ¾ full with 100% distilled water.

2. Place the ﬁlled reservoir onto the bottom of the cigar cooler.

3. Regularly check the water level and reﬁll as necessary.

4. The recommended humidity level for cigars is between 65% and 75%.Use the built-in hygrometer to

moderate the humidity level.

a. If the humidity is less than 65%,leave the reservoir inside until the humidity rises above 65% but is less

than 75%

b. If the humidity is more than 75%, remove the reservoir (if it’s inside), then reduce the inside temperature

until the humidity falls below 75% but is more than 65%

c. If humidity exceeds the desired level,leave the door open until it reaches the desired level.This will only

work if the outside environment is at a lower humidity level than the unit.

The humidity level of cigars is a matter of personal taste, however we recommend the following levels:

65% – Ideal for Cuban cigars, and those who enjoy dryer cigars with a stronger burn.

69% – The standard level recommended by cigar manufacturers.

72% – The best choice for humidor seasoning. It is not recommended to consistently keep cigars at this level.

Once the desired level of humidity has been reached and the door to the unit is closed, it will work to maintain

that humidity level.

NOTE 1: any humidity level between 65% and 75% is appropriate for cigar storage.

NOTE 2:The readout on the built-in hygrometer is approximate and can vary +/- 3%.

CALIBRATING YOUR HYGROMETER

If you are unsure of whether your hygrometer’s reading is correct, you can use a simple process to check it.You

will need these items:

• Table salt

• Water

• A bottle cap

• A clear,re-sealable plastic bag or container

• A measuring spoon (teaspoon size)

Here is the process:

1. Push on the back of the hygrometer to disengage it from the drawer.

2. Measure one teaspoon of salt and place

it in the bottle cap.

3. Dampen it with a few drops of water (but

do not dissolve it).

TROUBLESHOOTING

CONTROL PANEL

1. Set the temperature inside the cigar cooler by pressing the (increase) and (decrease) buttons to adjust

the temperature in 1° increments.

3. To turn the interior light on or off, press the button.

NOTE:The light will turn off automatically if it remains on for 10 minutes.Press the button again to turn it back on.

4. Place the bottle cap and the hygrometer

inside the bag or container,then seal it.

8. Your hygrometer is now ready to be placed back into the unit, and it will show the actual humidity level inside

the unit.

5. Wait at least 6 hours.

6. Read the hygrometer without opening the bag

or container.The environment inside this bag or

container is now at 75% humidity.

7. If the hygrometer reads less or more than 75%, you can adjust the needle to the correct reading:

a. Insert a small, ﬂathead screwdriver into the opening on the back.

b. Set the needle to 75%.
