IMPORTANT!
DO NOT PLUG IN YOUR VIGILANT ELECTRONIC CIGAR CABINET UNTIL ALL PACKING MATERIALS
HAVE BEEN REMOVED AND YOU HAVE CAREFULLY READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
UNPACKING YOUR Cigar CABINET
1. After unpacking your cigar cabinet, examine it for any damage that may have occurred during
shipping.
2. Find a suitable location for your armoire away from temperature extremes within the room. While the
cabinet will easily control the interior climate in a wide range of exterior conditions, it is recommended
that the cabinet not be placed directly in front of radiators, heating elements, or air conditioner ducts.
The temperature and humidity extremes surrounding these ducts can cause short cycling of the system.
3. As with any piece of fine furniture, please keep your cabinet out of direct ultra-violet light, as this may
alter the finish over time. This is especially critical for this piece because of the clear varnish finish and
the combination of wood species used in its construction.
4. Open the drawer(s) and remove any packing material. You may want to take the time to roughly
organize the loose cigar dividers in each drawer for preparation of loading cigars later.
5. Remove all packing material from reservoir area in the bottom, left of the cabinet interior. Also, check
to see that the white mesh wicking filters are sitting upright in the water reservoir area.
6. Before you plug the cabinet into a surge protector, partially open the drawer(s), leaving the cabinet at
room temperature for approximately one hour. This allows the interior of the cabinet to acclimate to
your room environment prior to operation.
OPERATING YOUR ARMOIRE FOR THE FIRST TIME
Your armoire’s adjustable divider system allows you to store a wide variety of cigar sizes in the
drawers. The lower area is designed primarily for boxed cigar storage. It is possible to store smaller
boxes in the drawers if you remove some of the adjustable dividers. Dividers that are not needed in
these drawers may be used in other drawers or simply set aside for later use.
1. Pull the door in the bottom left of the cabinet interior. Locate the black plastic water reservoir
positioned in the center of the opening. Remove all packing materials from around the reservoir.
2. Slide the water reservoir out of the opening and toward the front of the cabinet. Carefully fill the
reservoir with distilled water until the water is about one inch from the top. U

3. Check to make sure that the white mesh wicking filters are positioned vertically in the slots in the
reservoir. They should protrude about an inch above the top edge of the reservoir. Also, observe the
float switch on the back of the reservoir. This will illuminate the red light on your control panel when
the water level drops below 1/3 full, giving you ample warning before the reservoir runs dry.
