Safe Manual

APPROPRIATE USE

This Executive Safe protects records and many other valuables. Testing shows that

the interior temperature of the safe remains below 350°F (177°C) for 30 minutes

during a fire up to 1400°F (593°C) when used properly. Your safe must be closed

and latched in order to properly protect the contents from fire.

PLACEMENT OF SAFE

Proper installation and anchoring are critical to the security of your safe.

Install near a load-bearing wall to support the weight of the safe.

To help protect the exterior finish of your safe, install inside in a dry location where

there is climate control (heat in the winter and cooling in the summer).

This safe has been designed to withstand a certain amount of heat during a fire.

Generally speaking, fire safes perform better in lower levels of a home (like the

basement) where fire temperatures are lower. Additionally, placement of your safe

away from potential hot spots (areas where flammable materials are stored) will

improve your chances that your safe and its contents will perform better in a home

fire. No safe is completely fireproof. If the fire reaches a high enough temperature

for long periods, fire damage will occur.

MOVING YOUR SAFE

Before moving your safe, verify the load bearing weight of the floors and stairs, and

types of flooring the safe will be moved over (tile, wood, and other flooring can be

damaged by the weight of the safe). To determine whether or not your safe will

make it through doorways, stairs or corners take the empty safe box and see if it will

fit all the way through to its final location.
