Note: Children must not use the appliance! Persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or those with a lack of experience and knowledge may only use the device if they are instructed on how to do so by a person responsible for their safety, or if they are supervised and understand the hazards associated with the use of the device.

Read and follow all the instructions below even if you feel you are familiar with the appliance.

Remove the packing and make sure that the appliance is intact. If in doubt do not use the appliance and contact the place of purchase.

Do not leave packaging materials such as bags and staples within reach of children.

Never clean the appliance parts with flammable fluids, as the fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids near this or any other appliance.

Do not store perishable foods in the cigar cooler, as the interior temperature will not be low enough to prevent food spoilage.

Check the voltage on the equipment label before use. Only connect the device to sockets that correspond to the voltage of the device. If you are unsure whether your connections meet the requirements, consult an electrician or your electricity supplier.

Improper use of the grounded plug can result in electrical shock.

If the power cord appears to be damaged, have it replaced by an authorized service center.

The use of an extension cord is not recommended.

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

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.

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.

The main components are:

1. Shelf

2. Door

3. Drawer

4. Hygrometer

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 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.

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.

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.

The key functions are:

Up Arrow: Raise the desired temperature.

Down Arrow: Lower the desired temperature.

Light Bulb Icon: Turn the light on or off.

The internal temperature can be adjusted in 1 °C increments from 12-23 °C.

After you have switched on the unit, the display first shows the current ambient temperature and then changes to the indoor temperature display.

If you change the temperature, the newly set temperature flashes on the display for 5 seconds. The display will then return to the current indoor 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.
