Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the humidor from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
- Placement: Place the humidor on a firm, level surface. Ensure at least 2-3 inches of space around the back and sides for proper ventilation. Avoid placing near direct sunlight or heat-emitting appliances.
- Initial Cleaning: Wipe the interior and exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Seasoning the Cedar: The Spanish cedar shelves and drawer require seasoning to prevent them from absorbing moisture from your cigars. Lightly wipe the cedar components with distilled water using a clean cloth. Allow them to air dry completely before placing them back into the humidor. Repeat this process over a few days until the cedar is adequately humidified.
- Install Components: Place the Spanish cedar shelves and drawer into their designated slots inside the humidor. Ensure the water box is placed in its designated area, typically at the bottom.
- Power Connection: Connect the power cord to the humidor and then plug it into a grounded electrical outlet.

Temperature and Humidity Control
The humidor utilizes a semiconductor heating and cooling system to maintain a stable internal temperature within ±1℉ of your set point.

The 360° air cooling system ensures even temperature distribution and prevents frost. While the humidor maintains temperature, it does not feature automatic humidity control. Internal humidity is influenced by the set temperature and the use of the water box or external humidity control packs (not included). For optimal cigar preservation, maintain relative humidity between 55-65%.

Spanish Cedar Care
Spanish cedar is crucial for cigar aging and humidity regulation. Ensure it remains properly seasoned as described in the Setup section. Avoid using tap water on the cedar, as minerals can leave deposits. The cedar also helps deter pests and enhances aroma.
