PROPER USE
Honeywell Waterproof Fire Chests are designed to protect paper documents and
files from heat and moisture damage due to exposure to fire and water.
IMPORTANT: Before using your new chest 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 chest is not intended for the storage of medications, firearms,
ammunition, or combustible items of any kind.
WARNING: You should not store pearls in this chest because they may sustain
damage at temperatures below 350˚F.
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 72 hours.
HOW TO STORE CHEST
For your chest to perform as specified, it must always be stored flat with the lid on
top. Never store the chest on any of the sides or upside-down.
INTERIOR MOISTURE WARNING
IMPORTANT: For optimum performance, Waterproof Fire Chests should be
opened and aired out for at least 30 minutes every week 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 Chests
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 Chests due to moisture. Proper care and
preventative maintenance of Waterproof Fire Chests 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.
