IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
Clean the interior surface with distilled water using a new, clean sponge.
Install the handle on the door
You may see sticky blotches or glue-like residue on the cigar humidor, including the glass door, hydrometer
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 drawer 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.
CALIBRATE THE HYGROMETER
Place a teaspoon of salt in a small cup or dish and dampen it with a few drops of water. You do not need
to dissolve the salt.
Carefully, place the moist salt and the hygrometer inside a well-sealing, clear container, such as Tupper-
ware or a Zip Lock Bag and close tightly (make sure to leave some air inside the container).
Wait a minimum of 6 hours and note the reading on the hygrometer without opening the container. The
hygrometer should read 75%, if calibration is not needed.
If the hygrometer does not read 75%, you can correct the reading. Adjust the needle to the 75% mark by
turning the screw on the back with a small screwdriver.
SEASONING THE UNIT
Before placing any cigars inside of the unit, please wipe the inside of the cabinet walls, drawer 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.
