You should be able to push it out from the inside of the humidor. It does not screw in or anything like that.

We were able to just pop it out, just pushed from the inside. But it flu out so be careful!

Just push from the inside. To add to my original post, I am returning the humidor and getting a different one. Added 5 more fresh cigars and for some reason the humidor has stabilized at 72-74rh.

Open the humidor and with your index finger push it from the inside out and it will pop out. You can put it back in after

Easy! Just lift the main unit off the base and the base unit is exposed for easy cleaning. Just lift the cage out off the base that contains the wick and go for it. The instructions recommend weekly cleaning and sterilizing. Two of the 3 units I have purchased this season have reached 750 hours of operation when "CF" check filter) appears on the readout. I opened both units and determined that there was no reason to do a deep cleaning at that time. I add a few caps full of bacteriostat to every other filling to keep mold and mildew out of the unit. If you have hard water, the wicks will harden with mineral deposits quickly and will need to be replaced. I have hard water and have not yet felt it necessary to replace these wicks. They are fairly cheap at around $13 each (1 per unit). I am hoping to get a full season out a wick. Hope this helps.

The round thing in the left side is a humidity sensor.You plug it into the humidifier and you can disconnect it if you want

Dry it off, then use a hairdryer to blow into the vents. Partial disassembly is advised.Ron in Texas

Getting the humidity right in a humidor can be tricky. If you want to take the glass out, monitor the humidor and if the RH level drops put it back. Having said that, my advice would be if it is consistent at 70 don't change anything.

there is a clear circular ring above the needle, so when the cork is removed, just gently press the plastic ring down and that pushes the cork off of the needle. Easy as it comes.

Once per day until roots are established, you can then remove the Humidity Dome. This usually takes 7-14 days.

It's called "The Salt Test". You take about a table spoon of salt in a little cup or something of that nature, and add a few drops of water to it. Place the salt and hygrometer in a liplock bag for 6-12 hours and it should read 75 %, if not, turn the little screw type thing in the back.........but be careful, my last one broke on first adjustment.

Hold in the two buttons on the side and pull it out. It may take a little strength

Here is a video posted by the manufacturer on how to prime your Humidor (although I am disappointed they did not show the hockey puck sized humidifier that comes with this model)Here is the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds2xldMOkJU

True fog. Remove cap. Place central in space. Leave the area for 2 hours. Return and clean up the now dead mold. Works Great

I would not want to taint my humidor with the smell of an ashtray...just a thought

you need distilled water, a sponge or rag, and simply pour a very thin layer across the bottom, and wipe the walls down, and the center divider, and submerge the filter as well for a few hours, and close it. You will see the humidity rise. Be sure to wipe up any left over water before you drop your cigars in. Or they will get wet :(

Remove and discard cellophane wrapper. I don't recall a cap on top of the perforated cap so I must have discarded it as well. Remove perforated cap, fill tube to level indicated, replace cap. The pellets absorb water such that the tube will not leak. I've had my Drymistat in a 10-cigar humidor in checked and carry-on luggage all over the US and Europe and my cigars have never been better.

Gary, you don't need any tool to remove it from de the main vacuum. Just watch how it is grabbed, and try to take it out with your hands. That's the only way to fix it.

I would recommend buying a separate DIGITAL hygrometer to keep inside the humidor. The built in one that comes with most humidors are not very accurate. I would also recommend buying some of the Drymistat (or other similar) humidifiers and use those instead of the sponge sticks that come with the unit. They are easier to maintain, reliable and provide consistency in my opinion. Depending on your location, ambient humidity levels in the surrounding air, you may need two. Also make sure you season your humidor first before putting any cigars in it. There are some good videos on YouTube on how to do this.
