PROPER SAFE USE

Honeywell Waterproof Fire Safes are designed to protect paper documents and files from heat and water damage due to exposure to fire and floods.

Fire Protection

Independent testing verified the interior temperature remains below 350º F (177ºC) for 2 hours when outside temperature is up to 1550ºF (843ºC).

Water Protection

Independent testing verified that the interior remains dry when completely submerged for up to 8 hours with up to 50mm of water above the safe.

IMPORTANT: Before using your new safe, it should be opened and aired out for at least 30 minutes to allow the waterproof seal to decompress and perform as intended.

WARNING: This safe is not intended for the storage of medications, pearls, firearms, ammunition, or combustible items of any kind.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

When properly maintained, your safe will continue to operate for many years. In order to ensure optimum performance of your safe, please follow these simple precautions:

CLEAN HANDS – Never attempt to operate the digital keypad if your hands have excessive dirt, debris or liquids on them.

CLEAN SAFE – To clean the surface of your safe, it is recommended that you 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 – We recommend that you place delicate items such as pictures or intricate jewelry into an air-tight container before storing them in your safe. Avoid placing your safe in areas of high humidity. For optimum performance, the safe should be opened and aired out for at least 20 minutes every two weeks.

For future reference, store this Operation and Installation Guide in a secure area away from the safe.

DO NOT DISCARD!

INTERIOR MOISTURE WARNING

IMPORTANT: For optimum performance, Waterproof Fire Safes should be opened and aired out for at least 30 minutes every two weeks 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 Waterproof Fire Safes 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 Waterproof Fire Safes due to moisture. Proper care and preventative maintenance of Waterproof Fire Safes 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.

ANCHORING SAFE TO FLOOR

You may bolt your safe to a shelf or floor for added theft protection and resistance to tipping. Your safe has a pre-drilled bolt-down hole in the floor panel and mounting hardware is provided for securing to concrete surfaces. If bolting to wood or metal additional hardware will be needed. Check with your local home center.

To secure your safe to a concrete floor:

Select a suitable and convenient location for your safe (Figure 1).
Empty the safe and remove the (6) screws securing the mounting hole cover plate (Figure 2).
Remove the mounting hole cover plate and gasket along with the cap to uncover the mounting hole (Figure 3).
Tilt the safe onto it’s back side and stick a screwdriver into the hole to punch-out the bottom hole cover plug (Figure 4).
Turn safe back onto its feet and place your safe in the desired location for mounting, then make a mark through the hole onto the floor surface creating a drilling guide (Figure 5).
Move the safe aside to clear the marked spot for drilling. Then drill a 5/8 in./16mm diameter hole with a depth of 21/8 in./54mm and remove any excess dust (Figure 6 and Figure 7).
Insert the supplied expanding Drop-in Anchor into the hole and tap into place using a hammer until even with the floor surface (Figure 8).
Hammer a drift punch or phillips head screwdriver into the expanding Drop-in Anchor so that it flares out and firmly locks into place to prevent it from turning when mounting the safe (Figure 9).
Place the safe back into position lined up over the hole and secure in place using the provided mounting bolt. Secure bolt tightly using the supplied hexagon wrench (Figure 10).
Replace the gasket and mounting plate cover by using a phillips screwdriver to replace the 6 screws to secure the mounting plate into place (Figure 11).

Important: Bolting/unbolting of the unit is at the consumer’s expense and discretion. LH Licensed Products, Inc. is not responsible for any costs incurred if the unit has to be replaced.

If you have any questions about mounting the safe, please check with your local home center/ hardware retailer or independent contractor.
