HOW TO INSTALL YOUR CIGAR HUMIDOR

• This appliance is designed to be free standing only and should not be recessed or built-in.
• Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support the appliance when it is fully loaded. To level your appliance, adjust the leveling legs at the bottom of the appliance.
• Allow 4 in (10 cm) of space between the top, the back and sides of the appliance, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.
• Locate the appliance away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly.
• Avoid locating the appliance in moist areas.
• Plug the unit into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized Products service center.
• After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the appliance to run for 2-3 hours before placing any items in the compartment.

HUMIDITY CONTROL USING BOVEDA® PACKS

The Newair 500 Count Electric Cigar Humidor Powered by Boveda comes with a secure door seal and an insulated cabinet built to lock in moisture. Because the internal cabinet is heavily insulated, it is not necessary to season this unit before filling it with your cigar collection.

Please follow these steps when using the Boveda packs to humidify your cigar humidor:

1. Before filling your cigar humidor and installing the pegs, slide the Boveda Pack Holders into the bottom of each shelf.
2. Place one 69% Boveda pack (320 gram) inside each of the Boveda Pack Holders. Boveda is safe to touch cigars. (If your Boveda pack is overwrapped, remove that clear plastic before using. DO NOT OPEN the brown packet itself.)
3. Replace the Boveda packs in your humidor every 3-6 months.

For more information on how to use and when to reorder your Boveda packs, please visit the FAQ one-page on the newair.com product listing page.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

It is recommended that you install the Cigar Humidor in a place where the ambient temperature is near 77° F ( 25° C). If the ambient temperature is too far above or below the recommended temperature, the performance of the unit may be affected, and extreme cold or hot conditions may cause the interior temperature to fluctuate. This will prevent the optimal range from being reached. In addition, keep in mind that the temperature may fluctuate depending on whether the interior light is on or off.

Your Cigar Humidor has been equipped with a control panel lock which will lock itself automatically 20 seconds after the last time a button is pressed.

• Press and hold the function for about 3 seconds to unlock the control panel. You will hear a "BEEP" sound to alert you that the control is now active.
• Press the up button to increase or the (down) button to set the temperature.

- Press and hold the button for about 2 seconds to switch the temperature display unit between Fahrenheit and Celsius.

- You can turn the interior light ON or OFF by a lightly press on the button.

- The light will turn off automatically if it remains ON for 10 minutes. You have to push the button 📁 again then the light will turn back on.

Error code

Error code LL appears when:

• The temperature reaches lower than 32° F ( 0° C). The code "LL" will flash on the screen and the cooling will stop.
• The temperature probe is short-circuited or disconnected. The screen will show the set temperature and the compressor will work for 15 minutes and stop for 18 minutes.
• The temperature is higher than 98° F ( 37° C). The screen will show the set temperature and the compressor will work for 15 minutes and stop for 18 minutes.
