Proper Use of Your Safe

Firesafes protect paper records and other valuable documents. U.L. testing shows that the interior temperature remains below 350°F (177°C) for 30 minutes during a fire up to 1550°F (843°C). Your Firesafe is protected by our Lifetime After Fire Replacement Guarantee. Please see details in that section.

Moisture Warning 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.

To clean your safe, wash off with a damp cloth and dry. Never use paint thinners or chemical solvents, as they can permanently damage the finish.

Important: ALWAYS STORE SAFE FLAT
Always store your safe in a flat horizontal position so that the contents remain protected during a fire. Storing the unit on the sides or ends WILL NOT PROTECT CONTENTS during a fire.

For Your Protection

Always store keys away from (AND NEVER INSIDE) safe.
Save this manual and NEVER keep it inside the safe.

Important: DO NOT RETURN SAFE TO STORE
If you have any questions pertaining to proper use, DO NOT RETURN safe to the store. Please Contact Consumer Affairs at 1-800-223-8566 (USA & Canada).
