Use, Care & Maintenance Appropriate Use of Your Safe Honeywell fire safes protect paper records and many other valuables. Testing shows that the interior temperature remains below 350°F (177°C) for 1 or 2 hours (depending on model) during a fire up to 1700°F (927°C) when used properly. Your safe must be closed and latched in order to properly protect its contents from fire. Your safe is guaranteed not to develop mildew from moisture originating in the safe's insulating material for five years. However, if the safe is stored in an area of high moisture content (such as near the ocean or in a tropical climate), moisture from the environment may become trapped inside the safe. If this applies to you, it is recommended that you open the safe on a regular basis to promote air circulation. Safe Care and Maintenance When properly maintained, your safe will continue to provide security and protection of your valuables and important documents for many years to come. In order to ensure optimum performance of your safe, please follow these simple precautions: Clean Hands - Do not attempt to dial your combination if your hands have excessive dirt, debris, or liquids on them. Under normal circumstances, it is not necessary to wash your hands before using the safe. Clean Safe - To clean the outside surface of your safe, it is recommended that you use a mild cleaner (i.e. window cleaner) to avoid scratching or discoloring the surface. Do not use abrasive cleansers. 8
