This cooler is a freestanding unit and should not be installed inside a cabinet or
other built-in enclosure.
For proper ventilation, allow 130 mm 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 malfunc-
tions 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.
• Never place the appliance with the front edge along the edge of a table top or
shelf, because there is a risk of the appliance tipping forwards and falling if the
door compartments is overloaded. Take care to ensure that there is sucient
space in front of the appliance.
• lnstall the cooler away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as stoves,
heaters, or radiators. Direct sunlight may aect the unit’s acrylic coating, and
nearby heat sources can increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold or hot
ambient temperatures may also prevent proper performance.
• Please note: this cooler is only designed for home use, and is not designed to
be placed in a garage, basement, or outdoor area.
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. lf
a “plastic” smell persists, place a dish of baking soda in the unit or stu the cooler
with newspapers overnight. When finished, let the unit run a full day to complete
the airing out process.
Drawer setup
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.
2. Installation

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 humidity (RH) and does not absorb humidity
from your cigars. To season your new cigar cooler :
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
cooler until it reaches a relative humidity of 5 % higher than your preferred
level. This process may take as lang as 3 days but is the best way to ensure
your cigars stay optimal.
3. 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. lf 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.
10 3. Operating instructions
Operating environment
It is recommended to install the cooler in an area where the ambient temperature
is between 18 °C-26 °C. lf the ambient temperature is above or below the recom-
mended ranges, the unit’s performance may be aected, and extreme cold or hot
conditions may cause the interior temperature to fluctuate. This will prevent the
optimal range of 12 °C-23 °C from being reached. In addition, keep in mind that
the temperature may fluctuate depending on whether the interior light is on or o,
and how full the cooler is.

4. Cleaning & maintenance
Cleaning your cooler
To clean your cooler:
• Unplug the cooler and remove anything inside .
• 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 one
litre 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.
Moving your cooler
To move your cooler:
• 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.
12 5. Cigar storage guide
The ideal temperature for storing cigars is between 18 °C and 23 °C.
The ideal relative humidity (RH) for storing cigars is between 65 % and 75 % RH. To
properly maintain RH in the Model Cave Cigar, 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 pos-
sible. Keep unwrapped cigars separate in your cooler to avoid unwanted mingling
of flavors.
Check cigars regularly for signs of tobacco beetles and mold, and take preventa-
tive 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.
