INSTALLATION

This cooler is freestanding unit and should not be installed inside a cabinet or other builtin 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 forapproximately 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.

Factory Odor Removal

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.

Drawer Set-Up

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.

Seasoning Your Cigar Cooler

It is best to season your wood shelves and drawers before adding your cigars so that the wood is at an ideal relative humidit y (RH) and does not absorb humidit y 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 humidit y-adding device, to sit in the cooler until it reaches a relative humidit y 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.

OPERATION

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

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.

CARE AND CLEANING

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).
