Operation and Controls
It is recommended you install the appliance in a place where the ambient temperature is between 68º-80ºF.
If the ambient temperature is above or below recommended temperatures, the performance may be affected.
For example, placing your appliance in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to
fluctuate.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
The interior temperature can be adjusted in increments of 1 degree (50°F - 66°F for CHC-120S and 54°F -
66°F for CHC-251S). You can set the temperature by pressing the Up and Down buttons on the control
panel. Keeping to a storage temperature of between 50/54°F - 66°F is essential for preserving the quality of
cigars .
INTERIOR LIGHT
You can turn on and off the interior light by pressing the “Light” button on the control panel.
LEVELING THE APPLIANCE
It is important for your appliance to be leveled in order to
work properly. It can be raised or lowered by rotating each
of the feet on the bottom of the machine. If you find that
the surface is not level, rotate the feet until the appliance
becomes level .You may need to make several adjust-
ments to level it. We recommend using a carpenter’s level
to check the machine.
Note: This unit has 3 large levelling legs and 1 small level-
ling leg under the door hinge.
1. Place a carpenter’s level on top of the product to see if
the appliance is level from front to back and side to
side.
2.
Adjust the height of the feet as follows: Turn the level-
ing feet to the right to lower that side of the refrigerator.
Turn the leveling feet to the left to raise that side of the
refrigerator.
HUMIDITY CONTROL
This appliance is equipped with a system for maintain-
ing the correct level of humidity. Fill the humidity tray
(small plastic reservoir) to about ¾ full with 100% dis-
tilled water, then place it onto the runners found on the
top shelf of the appliance. Check the water level regu-
larly and refill as necessary.
Please ensure the reservoir is positioned correctly on
the runners on the top shelf to avoid the possibility of
water spillage.
HYGROMETER
This unit is equipped with a hygrometer, which is a gauge used to measure humidity levels inside the humi-
dor. It is recommended to maintain a humidity level of 62% to 75% inside of a humidor to properly preserve
and age cigars.
