IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
You may see sticky blotches or glue
-
like residue on the cigar humidor, including the glass door, hydrome-
ter or the Spanish Cedar wood. The sticky blotches or glue
-
like residue you see inside the cigar humidor is
from the oils in the Spanish Cedar wood. Spanish Cedar is naturally oily and it is in the oils where Spanish
Cedar gets the rich spicy aroma. Being a wood that naturally grows in the humid conditions of Central
America, the Spanish Cedar wood is naturally mold resistant, and resistant to the tobacco beetle.
The natural oils can migrate to the surface of shelves or drawers and other parts of the humidor, such as
the door and humidity tray. These natural oils can be cleaned using alcohol. Although somewhat annoying,
the more oils in your Spanish Cedar wood, the more pleasing the aroma will be.
Please be assured that no glue is being used in the manufacturing process of our Whynter cigar humidors.
SEASONING THE UNIT
Before placing any cigars inside of the unit, please wipe the inside of the cabinet walls, drawers and
shelves with distilled water.
This step is very important as cedar is a low density wood so the hydroscopicity is relatively large. Season-
ing will allow the wood to absorb and hold moisture so that it does not absorb additional moisture once ci-
gars are added.
