UMIDOR
It is best to season your wood shelves and drawers before adding your cigars so
that the wood is at an ideal 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.
During this entire process, it is recommended to not open the door
unnecessarily, as this lets moisture escape and can delay the process.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
It is recommended that the humidor be installed in an area where the ambient
temperature is between 50°- 80°F. 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 65° - 73°F 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 humidor is.
