Maintenance
- Regular Airing: To prevent moisture and mildew, open the safe for 30 minutes every week. This allows any trapped humidity to escape.
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the interior is dry before closing.
- Seal Inspection: Periodically check the waterproof seal around the lid for any cracks or damage. A compromised seal can affect water resistance.
- Key Care: Keep keys clean and dry. Avoid forcing the key if it feels stiff; a small amount of graphite lubricant can be applied to the lock if necessary.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
