This device may be only used by children 8 years old or older and persons with limited physical, sensory and mental capabilities and / or lack of experience and knowledge, provided that they have been instructed in use of the device by a responsible person who understands the associated risks.

Keep ventilation opening, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.

Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.

Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

It is recommended to check regularly the supply cord for any sign of possible deterioration, and the appliance should not be used if the cable is damaged.

To avoid injury or death from electrical shock, do not operate the appliance with wet hands, while standing on a wet surface.

It is not recommended to use this refrigerator with an extension cord or power board. Please ensure that the appliance is plugged directly into the electrical outlet.

When positioning the appliance, ensure that there is at least a 5 cm clearance at the sides and a 10 cm clearance at the back as this is the main outlet for heat. This will allow for adequate ventilation.

Close the door immediately after putting in any items so the inside temperature will not rise dramatically.

Keep appliance away from any heat source or direct sunlight.

To fix stably, the appliance must be placed on a flat and solid surface. It should not be laid on any soft material.

Do not place any other appliance on top of the refrigerator, and do not wet it.

Do not store something like ether, methanol, gasoline, which is easy to evaporate burn or explode.

Do not use outdoors or in wet conditions.

Never pull the cord to disconnect it from the outlet. Grasp the plug and pull it from the outlet.

Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.

This appliance has been incorporated with a grounded plug. Please ensure the wall outlet in your house is well earthed.

Connect your refrigerator to an independent electrical socket and use a safe ground wire.

Turn on electricity only 5 minutes later after electricity goes off. Otherwise, the compressor may be damaged.

This appliance contains the coolant isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. The use of this coolant has, however, led to a slight increase in the noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the compressor, you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around the system. This is unavoidable and does not have any adverse effect on the performance of the appliance. Care must be taken during the transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can damage the eyes.

Special notes:

Children are not allowed to fill refrigerators for tobacco products (humidors) or remove tobacco products.

When positioning the unit, make sure that the power cord is not pinched or damaged.

Make sure that there are no multiple sockets or power supplies on the back of the unit.

A prolonged opening of the door can lead to a significant rise in temperature in the compartments of the appliance.

WARNING: When using, servicing and disposing of the unit, pay attention to the left symbol on the rear of the unit or on the compressor. This symbol warns of possible fires. There are flammable substances in the refrigerant lines and in the compressor. Keep the appliance away from sources of fire during use, maintenance and disposal.

Notes on correct use:

This device is intended exclusively for the storage of tobacco products.

This appliance is not intended for use as a built-in appliance unless explicitly mentioned in the instructions.

This appliance is not suitable for freezing food.

The shelves have been installed in advance to allow the most efficient use of energy.

Note: It is recommended to set the temperature to 12 °C. If the temperature is set too low, a lot of electricity is consumed.

This cooler is a freestanding unit and should not be installed inside a cabinet or other built-in enclosure. For proper ventilation, allow 5 inches of clearance between the back of the unit and any adjacent walls. Before operating your cigar cooler for the first time, follow these steps:

Before connecting the unit to a power source, allow it to stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of any system malfunctions which may have occurred from handling during transportation.

Clean the interior surface of the unit with lukewarm water and a soft cloth but do not get the wood wet.

Place the cooler on a level surface that will be strong enough to support the unit when it is fully loaded. To level your cooler, adjust the front feet located at the bottom of the unit.

Install the cooler away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as stoves, heaters, or radiators. Direct sunlight may affect the unit’s acrylic coating, and nearby heat sources can increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold or hot ambient temperatures may also prevent proper performance.

Note: The appliance is not designed for commercial use. It is intended for use in domestic households and in similar working and residential environments, such as staff kitchen areas, farm houses, hotels, motels and bed and breakfast type environments.

Wash the interior of the cooler 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 cooler with newspapers overnight. When finished, let the unit run a full day to complete the airing out process.

The drawers and shelves included with this cooler 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.

It is best to season your wood shelves and drawers before adding your cigars so that the wood is at an ideal relative humidity (RH) and does not absorb humidity from your cigars. To season your new cigar cooler:

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.

Allow the moisture container, or other humidity-adding device, to sit in the cooler 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.

Once the cooler 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. During this entire process, it is recommended to not open the door unnecessarily, as this lets moisture escape and can delay the process.

Operating Environment:

It is recommended that the cooler be installed in an area where the ambient temperature is between 18-26°C. If the ambient temperature is above or below the recommended ranges, the unit’s performance may be affected, and extreme cold or hot conditions may cause the interior temperature to fluctuate. This will prevent the optimal range of 12-23°C from being reached. In addition, keep in mind that the temperature may fluctuate depending on whether the interior light is on or off, and how full the cooler is.

Control Panel and Key Functions:

The control panel features three buttons:

UP Arrow: Raise the desired temperature.

DOWN Arrow: Lower the desired temperature.

Light Bulb Icon: Turn the light on or off.

Operation:

The interior temperature can be adjusted in increments of 1 degree between 14-20°C.

After turning on the cigar cooler, the LED display will show the ambient temperature first, and then the internal cabinet temperature.

After you set the desired temperature, this set temperature will flash for 5 seconds on the display and then revert back to the internal cabinet temperature.

NOTE: Turn off the unit, and unplug it from the wall outlet before maintenance or cleaning to avoid electric shock.

Remove the shelves and wash the inside of the unit with a solution made of warm water and baking soda solution (2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 Liter of water).

Unscrew the water reservoir at the bottom of the unit and rinse with water.

To clean the outside of the unit, use a mild detergent and warm water.

Remove anything stored inside.

Securely tape down all loose parts located inside the unit.

Turn the leveling feet up to the base in order to avoid damage.

Tape the door shut.

Be sure the cooler stays in an upright position during transportation.
