4. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the humidor from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. Retain packaging for future transport if needed.
2. Placement: Choose a suitable location. The humidor is designed for floor mounting. Ensure the surface is level and sturdy enough to support the unit's weight (approximately 236 pounds). Allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space behind and on the sides for proper ventilation. Avoid placing it near direct sunlight or heat sources.
3. Leveling: Use the adjustable legs at the bottom of the unit to ensure it is perfectly level. This is crucial for proper door sealing and efficient operation.
4. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the interior and exterior with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals.
5. Seasoning the Humidor:
   • Fill the water reservoir (if applicable) with distilled water.
   • Place a small dish of distilled water inside the humidor for 24-48 hours to allow the Spanish cedar wood to absorb moisture.
   • Once the humidity stabilizes within the desired range (60-75%), the humidor is ready for cigar storage.
6. Power Connection: Plug the humidor into a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off: Press the power button on the control panel to turn the unit on or off.

3. Setting Humidity: The HPR system automatically manages humidity. If there are manual controls, use them to set the desired humidity between 60-75%. Ensure the water reservoir is adequately filled with distilled water for the humidity system to function correctly.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your humidor.

• Cleaning the Interior:
  • Periodically remove cigars and shelves.
  • Wipe the interior surfaces with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. For stubborn spots, a slightly damp cloth with distilled water can be used, but ensure the interior is completely dry before replacing cigars.
  • Do not use soap or chemical cleaners inside the humidor, as their odors can be absorbed by cigars.
• Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces, including the glass door, with a soft, damp cloth. For glass, a non-abrasive glass cleaner can be used, applied to the cloth first, not directly to the humidor.
• Water Reservoir Refill: Regularly check the water reservoir for the humidity system. Refill with distilled water as needed. The frequency will depend on ambient conditions and how often the door is opened.
• Spanish Cedar Shelves: The cedar wood naturally absorbs and releases moisture. Do not wash the shelves. If they become stained, gently wipe with a dry cloth.
• Door Seal: Inspect the door gasket regularly for any signs of wear or damage. A good seal is critical for maintaining stable internal conditions. Clean the gasket with a damp cloth if necessary.
