ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION

Before using your cigar humidor, complete the following steps:

•Remove all exterior and interior packaging

•Make sure the following parts are included:

o3 wood shelves

o2 keys

o1 moisture container

o1 instruction manual

Before operating your cigar humidor for the first time, follow these steps:

1. Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

2. Place your appliance on a flat surface strong enough to support the

appliance when it is fully loaded. To level your humidor, adjust the front

legs at the bottom of the appliance.

3. Ensure the cabinet is located away from direct sunlight and sources of heat

(i.e.: stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect its acrylic

coating. Extreme cold or hot ambient room temperatures may also cause

the appliance to not perform properly and/or increase electrical

consumption.

4. The appliance is intended for indoor use only.

CAUTION: Please keep the cabinet away from combustible materials or

substances.

Grounding instructions:

The cigar humidor must be grounded in case of wire leakage. Grounding

reduces the risk of electrical shock. The cigar humidor is equipped with a power

cord having a grounding wire and plug. The cigar humidor plug must be

plugged into a properly affixed and grounded electrical outlet.

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in the risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions

are not completely understood.

www.newair.com 10

INSTALLING YOUR CIGAR HUMIDOR

Unpack and remove all the protection and adhesive strips from the packaging

around and inside the cigar humidor.

The cigar humidor must be positioned such that the plug is accessible. The cigar

humidor should be installed in a suitable place where the compressor will not

be subject to physical contact.

Leveling your cigar humidor: cigar humidor must be leveled BEFORE loading

your cigar.

Your cigar humidor is equipped with 4 adjustable feet to facilitate easy leveling.

It is recommended that you tighten the back feet to the maximum and adjust

the front feet to level the cigar humidor.

FACTORY ODOR REMOVAL

Wash the interior of the humidor 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 humidor with newspapers overnight. When finished, let the unit

run a full day to complete the airing out process.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified person in

order to avoid electrical hazard.

DRAWER SET-UP

The drawers and shelves included with this humidor 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.

www.newair.com 11

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

It is recommended that you setup the cigar cabinet in a place where the

ambient temperature is between 50 - 77°F. If the ambient temperature is

above or below recommended temperatures, the performance of the unit may

be affected. For example, placing in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause

the interior temperature to fluctuate or not reach the appliance’s range.

The temperature may fluctuate depending on whether the interior light is on or

off or how cigars are placed on the upper, middle, or lower section.

SEASONING YOUR CIGAR HUMIDOR

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 humidor:

1. 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.

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

humidor 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.

3. Once the humidor 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.

NOTE: During this entire process, it is recommended to not open the door

unnecessarily, as this lets moisture escape and can delay the process.

www.newair.com 12

TURNING ON YOUR CIGAR HUMIDOR

Plug in and switch on the appliance by pressing on the power button for 3

seconds.

When you use the cigar humidor for the first time (or restart the cigar humidor

after having it shut off for a long time), there will be a few degrees variance

between the temperature you have selected and the one indicated on the LED

readout. This is normal and it is due to the length of the activation time. Once

the cigar humidor is running for a few hours everything will stabilize.

IMPORTANT: If the unit is unplugged, power is lost or turned off, wait 3 to 5

minutes before restarting the unit. The cigar humidor will not start if you

attempt to restart before this time delay.

Operating Noises

To reach the desired temperature settings, our cigar humidor, like all cigar

humidors operating with compressors and fans, may produce the following

types of noises. These noises are normal and may occur as follows:

•Gurgling sound - caused by the refrigerant flowing through the appliance’s

coils.

•Cracking/popping sounds - resulting from the contraction and expansion of

the refrigerant gas to produce cold.

•Fan operating sound - to circulate the air within the cigar humidor.

HOW TO SET TEMPERATURE:

There are four touch-buttons on the control panel:

increases or decreases the set temperature by 1 degree (temp

range is 52 - 74°F).

button turns on or off the interior light.

selects temperature display setting Fahrenheit or Celsius.

Note: This product is designed to operate in rooms with an ambient temperature

range of 50 - 77°F.

CIGAR STORAGE GUIDE

•The ideal temperature for storing cigars is between 65° and 73°F.

•The ideal relative humidity (RH) for storing cigars is between 65% and 75%

RH. To properly maintain RH in this unit, you will need to include a method

of adding humidity. For your convenience, a moisture container is included.

•To add humidity to the unit using the included moisture container, simply fill

the container with distilled water or a damp sponge wet with distilled water

and place it back in the unit. Please note this water should be changed after

reaching the desired humidity and refilled when used again.

•Keep cigars out of direct sunlight to avoid exposure to damaging UV rays.

•It is recommended to keep cigars in their original boxes and packaging as

long as possible. Keep unwrapped cigars separate in your humidor to avoid

unwanted mingling of flavors.

•Check cigars regularly for signs of tobacco beetles and mold, and take

preventative measures if necessary.

•Properly stored cigars can improve with age for as long as 5-10 years, and

can be kept even longer in ideal conditions.
