Adjusting the Humidity
To increase RH:
•
If the humidity reading on the display is below desired level, slowly turn the dial clockwise in SMALL
INCREMENTS until the fan starts running. Close the cabinet door and monitor RH level on display.
•
Repeat this process every few hours until the desired RH level is reached.
To decrease RH:
•
When the fan stops running and the RH display is above your desired level, slowly turn the dial
counterclockwise 1/8 turn and close the cabinet door.
•
Repeat this process every few hours until the desired RH level is reached.
•
REMEMBER, if your system has been running at a higher RH level for an extended period of time, it can
take up to
10 DAYS
for the humidity level in your cabinet to drop back to a desired level.
Maintenance of Reservoir and Wicking Filter
When the red LED low water indicator is on, it is time to fill the water reservoir. Frequency of filling will vary
depending on climatic conditions and cabinet size.
As the reservoir and wicking filter are constantly exposed to moisture and dirt collected from the circulating
air, they must be cleaned periodically. We recommend that you clean the reservoir and wick each time you
add distilled water.
1.
Unplug your system from its power outlet before you begin cleaning the reservoir and filter.
2.
Remove the humidification system from your cabinet, being careful not to spill any water on your
humidor. Remove the thumbscrews, lift the cover off and remove the filter.
3.
Wipe the walls of the reservoir with a damp paper towel.
4.
Wicks should be changed every 90-120 days and can be ordered directly from Vigilant, online at
5.
Insert a clean filter into the reservoir and return the reservoir to your cabinet.
6.
To fill the reservoir, add DISTILLED water through grommet opening. Never overfill the reservoir. Watch
the water level carefully while filling. Slowly fill reservoir to the max fill line.
