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.
