FEATURES

This Honeywell Fire & Water Safe was designed to protect documents and personal items from heat, smoke and moisture damage due to exposure to fire and water.

Fire Protection
ETL verified to maintain an interior temperature below 350º F (177ºC) for thirty minutes, if outside temperature reaches up to 1550ºF (843ºC).
Water Protection
ETL verified to maintain a dry interior if safe is completely submerged in up to 50mm (1.97 inches) of water, for up to 8 hours.

IMPORTANT CARE AND MAINTENANCE

To ensure optimal performance of your safe, please follow these simple guidelines:
After opening your safe for the first time, leave the door open for 24 hours to let it acclimate to your home’s air conditions.
CLEAN HANDS
Clean hands before operating your safe, particularly the keypad.
CLEAN SAFE
Regularly wipe down the surface of your safe. To remove excess dirt or stains, use a mild cleaner (e.g., window cleaner) to avoid scratching or discoloring the surface. Always wipe dry and NEVER use abrasive cleansers on the safe or digital keypad.
MOISTURE WARNING
The natural presence of water in the air and the level of humidity in your home will impact the moisture level inside your safe. Waterproof safes are designed with airtight seals to keep water out, so once moisture gets inside the safe it cannot evaporate. To keep low moisture levels inside the safe and prevent damage to valuables, we recommend the following:

  • Open and air out your safe for at least 30 minutes every two weeks to prevent moisture buildup. This will balance the interior and exterior humidity levels and allow any excess moisture trapped inside to escape. It is recommended to occasionally air out the safe for longer periods of time.
    Look for signs of moisture to determine if you need to air it out more often.

  • Avoid placing your safe in areas of high humidity, such as basements.

  • Consider adding moisture-absorbing products to your safe, such as desiccant packs.

  • Place delicate items such as pictures or important paper documents in airtight bags or containers for added protection.
    Note: If you do not open waterproof safes on a regular basis to let them air out, you may begin to notice damp surfaces and/or musty smells, especially on paperwork. The manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage or loss of items placed in waterproof safes due to moisture. Proper care and preventative maintenance are the owner’s responsibility and is required to assure continued levels protection and trouble-free performance during the lifetime of the safe.
    WARNING:
    This safe is not intended for the storage of medications, pearls, firearms, ammunition, or combustible items of any kind.

  3. Insert an anchor punch or Phillips head screwdriver into the Drop-in Anchor and hammer to lock into place. This will prevent it from turning when mounting the safe. (Figure 4)

  4. Place the safe back into position, lining up the mounting hole. (Figure 5)

  5. Insert the Hex Head Bolt, through the safe floor and into the Drop-in Anchor. (Figure 6)
