Now that you’ve made the great choice of investing in a humidor from Prestige Imports you might have a few questions. Before diving into the full operating manual below, here are a couple frequently asked questions you might have yourself.
The best temperature controlled humidor will keep your cigars in the desired temperature range 24 hours a day, seven days a week. What temperature range is best? Anywhere from 63-70°F or 18-22°C. Some aficionados suggest a more narrow range of 68-70°F. Click here to read the full Cigar Aficionado article on storing cigars. But what actually happens if you store your cigars at the wrong temperature?
Well, temperatures warmer than 70° risk drying out your cigars leading to cracks, sub-par flavor, and infestation by critters. Temperatures lower than mid-sixties will slow down your cigar’s aging process and the depth of flavor it can develop over time. If forced to choose, it’s better to store your cigars too-cold than too-warm. Because you’ve invested in a temperature controlled humidor you won’t really have to worry about this as your humidor will maintain a constant temperature.
By purchasing a climate controlled humidor you are also able to control the humidity. The best humidor humidity is 62-72%. By maintaining the humidity in your humidor your cigars will last longer and have the best possible flavor. Okay, now read on to learn everything you need to know about your new humidor.
Dear Customer:
Congratulations on the purchase of your Prestige Climate Controlled Cigar Cabinet. To get the best performance out of your humidor, please carefully review this operating manual.
NOTE:
Please insure the following points are covered before using the humidor:
1) Read this manual carefully before starting the unit.
2) Check the voltage to make sure that the cabinet is compatible with your household electricity supply. (Designed to run on 110/120v)
3) To avoid damage, avoid storing sharp or metal objects inside or on top of the cabinet.
4) When cleaning or working with water or any other fluids inside or around the cabinet, always ensure the unit is unplugged.
5) Do not unplug the unit by pulling on the cord. Grasp the plug firmly and pull it out of the wall socket or power receptacle.
6) This unit is designed to operate indoors and should never be operated in an outdoor environment.
7) Keep the power cord away from objects that produce heat.
8) Keep the humidor and power cord away from household heating units or other heat producing objects. Maintain a minimum ventilation space of 2 inches around the cabinet at all times.
9) Do not put combustible items in the unit at any time.
10) Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the cigar cabinet.
11) Refrain from setting water or fluids on top of the unit.
Accidental spills can saturate and damage the touch screen and control module.
12) Do not stop and restart the unit frequently. To avoid compressor damage, it is best to wait 5 minutes between each restart.
Warning:
Always observe basic precautions when using the cabinet.
Please run through the following steps to insure your cabinet is ready for use:
1) Always keep cabinet in an upright position on a level surface
2) Avoid tilting, shaking or jarring the unit.
3) Check that the electricity supply is compatible with the unit and socket. This unit is designed for use on 110/120v only.
4) Plug the unit in and turn it on only after reviewing the remainder of this manual.
5) Water Tank Reservoir: The reservoir is located at bottom of the cabinet’s interior behind the removable tray. There is a water fill spout at the front of the reservoir. The reservoir includes cover plates that can be used to cover the left and right sides of the tank. When loading or removing cigars, these covers can stay in place to prevent cigars, debris or other items from falling into the water. They can also be kept in place to cover the tank to reduce humidity levels as needed. However, it is recommended that these covers are removed during normal operation. The water tank holds approximately - 1/2 a gallon of water. Avoid topping off the tank to its maximum fill level from the start. Instead, it is best to add water in small amounts as you go until you achieve the perfect balance of humidity. It is recommended that only distilled water be used in the tank for best results. For your convenience, the tank can be removed for servicing/cleaning. Simply disconnect the humidification fan wire harness and lift up on the tank to disengage from the inside wall.
6) Before loading your cigars, leave the cabinet running for at least 2 hours or until your desired temperature and humidity levels are reached.
Cooling & Heating Systems: When the inside temperature is 3-4° higher or lower than the preset temperature, the heating
or cooling systems will activate to adjust the temperature accordingly. When the cooling system is active the GREEN
LED will illuminate. When the heating system is active the RED LED will illuminate.
Humidification System: When the cabinet’s relative humidity is 4% higher or lower than the pre-set humidity level, the AMBER LED will illuminate on the display panel and the humidification system will activate to adjust the humidity accordingly.
Turn this feature ON, if you find the glass door is developing a build-up of condensation. The Demist feature engages a heating element within the glass to match the glass temperature to the outside temperature. This process helps eliminate the mist that may appear on the glass in certain environments. The Demist LED will illuminate when activated.
Suggestions:
Calibrating the Hygrometer/Humidity Sensor: Your cabinet is equipped with a humidity sensor built-in to the left interior side wall about half way up front the base of the unit. The sensor is recessed into a small opening measuring approximately 2.0 x 1.5 inches in size and is intentionally left open for improved accuracy. This sensor is responsible for displaying the relative humidity value on the digital display panel. NOTE: Only calibrate the sensor if the displayed humidity value is incorrect or if it does not match the reading of an accurate 3rd party digital hygrometer. Calibrating the sensor will NOT ADD moisture or DRY OUT the interior of your cabinet! This step should only be taken to “program and set” the panel to show your desired humidity value. *If the humidity/moisture level is too high or low within your enclosure, do not proceed with this calibration step and instead refer to Section 6 “Troubleshooting”.
To calibrate, the sensor board will need to be carefully removed from the wall with a Phillips screwdriver. Pull the small sensor board toward you for easier access and at the same time exercise care as the sensor is attached by two wires. These wires will remain attached during the calibration process. With the cabinet powered on (calibration cannot be done with the unit powered off) hold the board by its edge and locate the small blue box situated on the board (power to the board is only 12 volts and can be handled while the unit is running). A tiny calibration screw is located on the edge of the box.
With a precision screwdriver and with the screw facing up, turn the screw CLOCKWISE to increase the numeric value and COUNTER CLOCKWISE to decrease the numeric value. After the adjustment, close the cabinet door and please allow up to 10 minutes for the display to reflect the changes. Continue to adjust as needed. You may need to turn the calibration screw multiple rotations across multiple instances to get numbers to move enough to see a change reflected on the display. Reattach sensor board once desired value reached.
NOTE: Due to the natural moisture given off by your skin, humidity values may surge upward when your hand is close to the sensor board. Levels will stabilize in a minute or two after your hand is pulled away. Deviations between hygrometer readings are normal and it is very difficult to perfectly match the humidity value from one device to another. When calibrating or setting your humidity and temperature numbers, the idea is to get the cabinet dialed in to the best balance of temperature, and humidity along with the reservoir water level so that your climate is in acceptable range. There isn’t a perfect rule. Although we would like to use the values on the humidity and temperature display as the rule, these numbers are just arbitrary and should only be used as a guide. Bottom line, it all comes down to how your cigar smokes and feels. Once you find the settings that keep your cigars the way you want them, those are the settings you should lock in and stay with.
*All electronic cabinets will require some configuration and set up due to variances in environment and personal preferences.
Non Refrigeration:
1) Check the power to the unit
2) Make sure that the humidor is plugged in and turned on and that fuses and circuit breakers in the building are all in working condition.
3) If the power is on and system is still not cooling, wait 5 minutes as the compressor may be in sleep mode.
Noisy Running Conditions:
Compressor Runs Continuously (Cooling System):
Cooling Trouble or Inaccuracy:
Excessive or Deficient Humidity or Moisture Level:
Warning:
Your Cabinet should be only repaired by a licensed electrician or refrigeration mechanic. If the unit still fails to run properly, turn it off, unplug the unit and call your dealer for assistance.

Unit looks great, but not very happy with the results as I just got the brand new Remington October 27th.
I have not even been able to use the humidor yet as the humidity sensor reads “CC” and the inside temperature is literally 33 degrees F…PLEASE HELP
My fan in the bottom shelf is not running as well.

My Remington is getting too cold and the fan in the bottom of the unit isn’t working.
September 19, 2021
I don’t believe my fan is working. The distilled water is at the same level it was at weeks ago, the humidity at the top of my humidor is very low, and I’ve never seen the fan move. Please help!

Hello Mr. Singh. Looking for some help with my Redford Lite Humidor. Sensor board seems to be working properly. Humidty system seems to be working properly.
I cannot get the system to cool OR heat… I hear a clicking noise on the back of the unit on the right side, but the compressor nor the heater comes on when I adjust the temperature…
I wonder if you could offer some thoughts?
Thank you sir.
-Tim

My Remington was working fine but now it seems to cooling to about 40 degrees Fahrenheit. I have unplugged the unit after powering off. I also had to send pictures to prestige because the unit is crooked on the top and sides. I don’t know what to do…
