Your Safe’s Unique Identification Numbers
When contacting Consumer Affairs, you should be prepared to supply some
important information that specifically identifies your safe. This information is
extremely important to assuring prompt and accurate customer assistance.
It is strongly recommended that you identify and record the following information
in the “Safe Identification Record” form located on the inside back cover of this
manual:
Model Number
Serial Number
Key Number
Locating Model and Serial Numbers
Most First Alert
®
safes include a small metallic silver or gray tag affixed to one
of the surfaces. This tag is usually located on the front or right side of the safe.
This tag contains the Serial Number, and on selected models a similar tag is
attached containing the Model Number. If a Model Number tag is not attached
to the safe, then it can be located on the front or side panel of the box that the
safe was packaged in. Write this number down for future reference.
Key Number
The Key Number is located on the key. If you do not have the key, the number
is also imprinted on the Emergency Override Key lock. See Emergency Override
Key, page 3, for instructions on locating this lock.
Important: DO NOT REMOVE TAGS!
In case your safe becomes inoperable or you lose your keys, these identification
numbers will be needed to correct the problem. It is recommended that the
number tags remain in place on the safe. If removal is necessary, then they
should be attached to the inside back cover of the Operation and Installation
Guide. Store in a safe and secure place for future reference.

Safe Care and Maintenance
When properly maintained, your safe will continue to provide protection for
many years. In order to ensure optimum performance of your safe, please
follow these simple precautions:
Clean Hands - Do not attempt to operate combination dial if your hands have
excessive dirt, debris, or liquids on them. Under normal circumstances, it is not
necessary to wash your hands before using the safe.
Clean Safe – To clean the outside surface of your safe, it is recommended that
you use a mild cleaner (e.g., window cleaner) to avoid scratching or discoloring
the surface. Do not use abrasive cleansers.
For future reference, store this Operation and Installation Guide in a secure area
away from the safe. DO NOT DISCARD!
