INTERIOR NOTICE AND LOCATING KEY IDENTIFICATION

INTERIOR MOISTURE NOTICE

IMPORTANT:  For optimum performance, Fire and Water Chests should be opened and aired out for at least 30 minutes every week to prevent any build up of moisture inside. It is recommended to occasionally do this for longer periods. This will balance the humidity difference inside and outside and allow any excess moisture trapped inside to escape. If you do not open Fire and Water Chests on a regular basis to let them air out, you may begin to notice a musty smell, especially on paperwork. The manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage or loss of items placed in Fire and Water Chests due to moisture. Proper care and preventative maintenance of Fire and Water Chests is the owner’s responsibility. The owner should understand that this is required to assure continued levels of protection and trouble-free performance during the lifetime.
