ASSEMBLY
CIGAR OASIS XL Plus comes in two pieces that

easily assemble for placing in your humidor. The
top piece is the control top, the bottom module is a
replaceable water cartridge. The water cartridge
must be filled with distilled water and attached to
the control top before use.

To attach the cartridge, remove the control top
and the cartridge from their protective plastic bags
and fill the cartridge (see instructions below).

Hold the control top in your left hand with the fan
facing up and your thumb near the air vents on the
side. Grasp the cartridge in your right hand with
water holes facing up and your thumb on the side
with the CIGAR OASIS XL Plus label. Put the
unit together as you line up the four tabs. Then
hold the control unit firmly in place and slide the
cartridge away from you until it locks. (Move
hands in opposite directions to lock together.)

Refilling the Cartridge

Fill a bowl with distilled water only and

submerge the cartridge in it for 4 minutes.

Take out the cartridge and let it stand on the
countertop for another minute.
At the sink, empty all remaining water out of the
cartridge so only damp foam remains.** No water

should drip out when the cartridge is held
upside down **

Dry off the cartridge completely and put the unit
back together.
A full cartridge should last up to six months in an
average, well-sealed 100 cigar size humidor which
is accessed about three times a week, or for
larger humidors (100-500 cigars), approximately
2 -3 months.

INSTALLATION

CIGAR OASIS XL Plus has three power ports for
ease of installation in different locations within
your humidor. Two of the ports use the ribbon ca­ble as the connection the third connection allows
the power adapter to plug directly into the unit.
The power ports are located on the control top;
one on the side and two on the back. Ports on
either side can be used, depending on where the

unit is placed in your humidor. Be sure to keep the
areas with air vents clear of cigars, walls and the

humidor lid with at least ¼ ” of clearance. This will

assure free and even circulation of humidified air
in your humidor.

Use the power adapter, connector and flexible
ribbon cable supplied. Slip the free end of the
ribbon cable between the hinges of the humidor
so the cable is inside the humidor and the power
connector is outside in the back of the humidor.
The ribbon cable may be bent or folded to suit
your needs. Plug the free end of the power strip
into the power connection on the back or on the
side of the Cigar Oasis XL Plus control unit. In
back of the humidor, peel protective backing from
the adhesive on the plastic connector and mount
it behind the humidor. Plug the power adapter
into the plastic connector and the other end into
nearest outlet.

When depressing the ☼ Display button you will

turn on or off the display and it will show the
measured humidity.

OPERATING THE CIGAR OASIS XL Plus

When the unit is powered, the sensor measures
the humidity in the humidor and the microproces­sor controls the fan which in turn increases the
humidity in the humidor until it reaches the desired
humidity set point. CIGAR OASIS XL Plus has
been set at about 70% at the factory; however,
you may adjust it to your taste.

Adjusting humidity to desired set point

A humidity indicator is built in to allow you to
check the humidity and adjust the setting. The set
point is adjusted by pressing the two buttons

denoted ▲ Set point Up and ▼ Set point Down.

After the button is released, the display will
continue to show the set point for a few seconds.

The set point won’t be lost if power or batteries

are disconnected or replaced.

Low water indicator

When depressing the ☼ Display button the dis-

play will flash H20 when the water is low alerting
you to refill the cartridge.

Reading the humidity

On outlet power the display is on all the time.
When opening humidor the indicated humidity is
the last measured value but in a few seconds will
go to actual humidity with the lid open.

Calibration Instructions

Look at the humidity reading on your separate
digital hygrometer. If you absolutely trust your
hygrometer, and it is different by more than 6%
compared to your Cigar Oasis Humidifier, then
you should re-calibrate the humidifier. Determine
if you need to increase or decrease the reading on
the Cigar Oasis Humidifier to match the reading
on your separate digital hygrometer.

Press the ‘Up” and ‘Sun’ button simultaneously
to enter the Calibration Mode (Displays CA2).

Press the ‘Up’ and ‘Sun’ buttons simultaneously

(together) to enter the Calibration Mode (LED
displays CA2).

Press and Hold the ‘Up’ button if you need
to increase the reading on the humidifier to
match the reading on your separate hygrome-

ter. Press and Hold the ‘Down’ button if you

need to decrease the reading on the humidifier
to match the reading on your separate hy­grometer.

Press both the ‘UP’ and ‘Sun’ buttons simul-
taneously twice to leave the Calibration Mode.

Allow the humidifier to run for at least an
hour to check the humidity level.

If further re-calibration is necessary, follow

the above procedures again.
