Security Considerations

Please read the following before using the cigar cooler. Operate carefully and follow all safety instructions.

• Use a separate power outlet with the correct voltage (115V). Ensure proper grounding.
• Do not unplug by pulling the power cord; grasp the plug firmly.
• Avoid damaging the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on it or fold it.
• Do not use loose sockets or damaged power cords. Contact the manufacturer for repairs.
• Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. Remove foreign matter and dust from the plug.
• After unplugging, wait at least ten minutes before reconnecting.
• Do not plug into a loose wall socket.
• Ensure the appliance is placed for easy access to the power plug after installation.
• Use a separate, reliable grounding power supply. Sockets and wiring must withstand over 10A.
• Never use gas pipes, telephone lines, or other hidden lightning rods for grounding. Improper grounding can lead to electric shock.
• Do not disassemble or repair the unit yourself. This can cause fire, machine failure, or personal injury.
• Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not cover the back of the product with cloth or other materials.
• Do not place the unit on unstable surfaces or in restricted spaces without proper ventilation.
• Keep a distance of more than 5CM between the back of the unit and the wall.
• Do not place near electric heaters, radiators, or in direct sunlight.
• Do not place heat-producing items (candles, ashtrays, aromatherapy) or combustible/explosive materials near the product.
• Do not place containers with water on the machine.
• Do not expose to rain or near water (e.g., bathtub, sink, wet basement, swimming pool). If wet, unplug immediately and dry with a cloth.
• Clean the interior with a soft cloth and lukewarm water. Do not use water-containing rags for cleaning to prevent mold.
• All parts of this machine do not run with a battery.
• Do not allow children to climb on the product.
• The front tempered glass door should not be bumped with sharp objects to prevent breakage.
• Do not place the product in unstable positions. If damaged, disconnect power and contact service.
• When cleaning, do not use chemicals like wax, benzene, alcohol, diluent, insecticide, air cleaner, lubricant, or cleaner on the power plug area, as this may cause short circuits and fire.

Before Using Your Cigar Cooler

• Remove all packing materials.
• Allow the unit to stand upright for approximately 24 hours before connecting to power to prevent cooling system malfunctions.
• Clean the interior with a soft cloth and lukewarm water.
• This appliance is intended for household and similar applications (staff kitchens, hotels, B&Bs, catering).
• Dispose of the appliance at an authorized disposal site.

Installation of Your Cigar Cooler

• The appliance can be installed free-standing or built-in.
• It is intended exclusively for cigar storage.
• Place on a flat, strong floor and adjust the leveling legs.
• The unit uses R600a refrigerant. Avoid damaging cooling pipes.
• Locate away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Avoid moist areas.
• Plug into an exclusive, properly grounded wall outlet. Do not remove the ground prong. Consult a certified electrician for power/grounding questions.

Attention

• Store cigars in sealed boxes.
• Do not overload the cooler.
• Open the door only when necessary.
