PROPER SAFE USE
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Honeywell Waterproof Fire Safe will provide years of safe and secure protection for
your valuables, important documents and other personal items. All Honeywell safes are
designed and built using the highest manufacturing standards to ensure maximum user
satisfaction under a variety of conditions. With proper care, your Honeywell safe will provide
“Peace of Mind” for many years to come.
Thank you and enjoy!
WELCOME
Honeywell Waterproof Fire Safes are designed to protect paper documents and files from
heat and moisture damage due to exposure to fire and water.
Fire Protection
Independent testing verified the interior temperature remains below 350º F (177ºC) for
thirty minutes 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.
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
documents and valuable possessions 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 30 minutes every two weeks.

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.
