Thank you for purchasing a Browning Prosteel safe. A Browning ProSteel safe is the finest home security safe available. With proper care and installation it will provide you many years of peace of mind, security and fire protection (fire-resistant models only). Your Browning ProSteel safe is a security safe designed to protect your valuable personal property from theft by increasing the time it takes for a thief to access your valuables.
Wat e r a n d f i r e d a m a g e Should your safe be exposed to fire or water, the fire-resistant properties of the insulation will be compromised. Do not continue to store valuable items in such a safe. Check with your insurance agent to determine if your policy will replace the safe, in addition to other household items. Rust danger to guns If your safe is in a fire, remove your guns as soon as possible to clean and lubricate them.
Notice! Your Browning ProSteel Safe is not designed for exterior use. Exposing your safe to rain, moisture or high humidity can cause rust and damage to the lock and other parts of the safe. The painted exterior finish is designed for interior use only and will not withstand direct contact with water or moisture without damage. The safe bottom is lightly finished metal. It will rust if exposed to a wet floor. High humidity can cause the safe bottom to rust if the carpet below it absorbs moisture.
2 Lower the door onto the bottom hinge first, then onto the top pin. AN C HORING t o a C ON C RETE FLOOR 3 When both the top and bottom hinges are aligned lower the door completely down. Important: Pre-drill the holes in the safe back and floor prior to anchoring the safe to the floor or wall. 4 Close the door and use a 5/32" Allen wrench to turn the Allen bolt located in the bottom piece of the bottom hinge four half-turns clockwise (looking down at the hinge).
Important: Pre-drill wall anchor holes in the safe prior to anchoring the safe to the floor or wall. See “Anchoring Your Safe to a Wall” on page 10. 9 Fill the 2" openings in the fire-resistant material with high temperature silicone caulking. The caulking will seal the opening and prevent hot gases from entering the safe during a fire. (Not required on models that are not fire-resistant.) 10 Replace the floor panel, elevation brace and interior shelving.
AN C HORING t o a FRAMED WALL important: Pre-drill the holes in the safe back and floor prior to anchoring the safe to the floor or wall. Anchoring to a framed wall requires the location of your anchor holes align with the center of your wall studs, which are normally spaced 16" on-center. However, you must check to verify the actual position of the studs before drilling your safe. 1 To align your safe and mounting holes with the studs, place a piece of masking tape across the top-rear edge of your safe.
5 Turn your safe handle clockwise to open the safe door. important: If you miss any combination number by more than 1 dial mark your safe will not open. Make sure you are looking straight down at the index marks. Make sure to align the numbers with the center index line located at the 12 o’clock position. If the safe does not open, try turning the safe handle firmly counterclockwise before re-dialing the combination. LO C KING THE SAFE 1 Close the door with the locking bolts retracted.
C HANGING THE C OM B INATION Your combination of the S & G® Mechanical Lock is pre-set at the factory. Changing the combination will void your lock warranty. If you must change the combination for some reason, contact a certified locksmith to do this for you. KEYLO C K The keylock in your combination dial is used to lock the dial only. This is a convenience feature that allows you to lock your dial so that it will not accidentally rotate and lock while you are moving items into or out of your safe.
HINGES Your door height is adjusted at the factory and should not require any adjustment when new. However, hinge adjustment bolts are located on the bottom of each hinge to allow you to make adjustments over time (Figure 5). This allows you to raise and lower the door slightly as needed. Rotating the Allen bolt counterclockwise (looking down at the hinge) raises the door on its hinges. Both Allen bolts (top and bottom hinges) should be turned the same amount when adjusting the door.
Bulb Replacement Carpet 1 Prior to replacing a bulb, turn the light switch off and unplug the light. Allow the bulb to cool before replacing. The key to removing stains from your carpeted interior is to clean them as soon as they occur. Do not soak the carpeting with water to remove stains. Small amounts of water can permanently damage the fire-resistant materials within your safe if the water is allowed to soak into the carpeted areas. Use any household carpet spot remover to clean up stains.
Notice! Follow only the recommended CLEANING procedures and use only the recommended cleaning materials. Failure to follow this information COULD CAUSE YOUR MIRROR TO become CLOUDY.
