Proper Use of Your Safe

• The Media Protector™ prevents damage to film, photographs,

CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, computer & video tapes, and other media, which start to deteriorate at 150°F (65°C). It withstands 1700°F (926°C) for 1 hour while maintaining an interior temperature below 125°F (52°C).

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.

For the safe to perform properly:

• Store the safe on a flat surface (or, if provided, the wheeled cart).

• Do not store or place the safe upside-down or on its side.

• Store the safe on a ground floor, in a location free of potential hazards

and falling objects.

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 1-800-323-9005
