PARTS LIST

www.newair.com 10
ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
Allow 24 hours before switching on the cigar humidor. During this
time, we recommend that you leave the door open to clear any
residual odors.
Important: All models without front venting (air opening) are strictly for
freestanding only.
Recommendations:
•The location you have selected for your cigar humidor should:
•Be well ventilated
•Be away from any heat source and direct sunlight
•Be in a mostly dry environment (avoid places like laundry rooms, bathrooms,
etc.)
•Be on a level surface
•Be connected to a standard and reliable electricity supply. It is NOT
recommended to use a multi-socket or extension cord.
•Be connected to a standard 120V electrical outlet.
•Placed away from the microwave oven. Certain microwave ovens do not
have a wave interference shield. When placed within 3 feet vicinity of a
microwave over, the cigar humidor’s operation may be affected.
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.

EN
www.newair.com 11
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.

EN
www.newair.com 12
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.

EN
www.newair.com 13
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.

TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
•When you turn on your cigar humidor for the first time, the LED temperature
control panel displays the actual internal air temperature by default.
•This cigar humidor comes with a memory function. In the event of a power
interruption, all previous temperature settings are automatically reinstated,
and it will revert to a preset temperature setting.
•There is a difference between the air temperature inside the cigar humidor
and the actual temperature of the cigar: You will need to wait approximately
12 hours before noticing the effects of temperature adjustment due to the
critical mass within a full cigar humidor.
•Once the temperature is set, it is strongly advised not to adjust it frequently.
The thermostat will maintain the temperature inside the cigar humidor
within a +/- 2.5 ºF range, but the actual temperature of the cigar will only
fluctuate 0.5ºF to 1ºF.
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.

HUMIDIFICATION SYSTEM
The cigar humidor has an automatic humidification system that is located at
the bottom of the cabinet and the water- filling box is in the lower left side of
the humidor. The moisture tray is built into the appliance. Open the plastic
cover of the drawer to add water as shown below.
Notes:
•Avoid opening or removing any parts of the humidification system without
technical assistance.
•Avoid filling with unfiltered water since it may cause harm to cigar quality or
taste.
•Check the water-filling box often if you live in an arid climate.
•It is normal to experience a +/-5% fluctuation in the set humidity level. It is
suggested to monitor the humidity level to assess if the cigar humidor levels
need to be adjusted.
1. Open the plastic cover on the
bottom drawer following the
direction of the arrow;
2. Pull out the bottom drawer in the
direction of the arrow;
3. Add water in the opening of the bottom drawer

4. Make sure the added water does not exceed the fill line A shown in the
figure below.

EN
www.newair.com 18
AUTOMATIC DEFROSTING SYSTEM
Your cigar humidor comes with an auto-cycle defrost system. This system will
only self-activate if the internal temperature of the humidor falls lower than 53
F for extend periods of time.
If frost build up occurs, the defrost function will melt the frost and collect it in a
tray located at the back of the cigar humidor next to the compressor where the
compressor’s heat will evaporate the water and recycle it into the humidor’s
humidification system.
This system, when self-activated, helps maintain the humidity level inside your
cigar humidor by adding moisture back into the cigar cabinet.
NOTE: This cigar humidor is equipped with a double-glazed glass door that has
a third internal acrylic layer to minimize condensation on the glass door.
