4. Setup and Installation
The JUWEL KOMBIFRANK 4945 is designed for wall mounting. Proper installation is crucial for security.
4.1 Choosing a Location
- Select a discreet and secure location within a solid wall structure.
- Ensure there are no electrical wires, plumbing, or other obstructions behind the chosen wall section.
- Consider accessibility for daily use but also for concealment.
4.2 Installation Steps
- Prepare the Wall Opening: Carefully cut an opening in the wall that matches the dimensions of the safe's body, ensuring a snug fit. Refer to the safe's external dimensions (265mm x 415mm x 242mm) for precise cutting.
- Insert the Safe: Slide the safe into the prepared wall opening. Ensure the front flange sits flush against the wall surface.
- Secure the Safe: Use appropriate mounting hardware (not always included, may need to be purchased separately based on wall material) to secure the safe to the wall studs or masonry. Utilize all available mounting points inside the safe.
- Concealment (Optional): Once installed, the safe can be concealed behind a picture, mirror, or other wall decor for added discretion.
5. Operating the Combination Lock
The JUWEL KOMBIFRANK 4945 features a 2-digit mechanical combination lock. The factory default combination is typically provided with the safe or can be found on a sticker inside the safe door upon first opening.
5.1 Opening the Safe
- Clear the Dial: Turn the dial several full rotations clockwise to clear any previous settings.
- Enter First Number: Turn the dial clockwise, passing the first number of your combination three times, and stop precisely on the first number on the fourth pass.
- Enter Second Number: Turn the dial counter-clockwise, passing the second number of your combination once, and stop precisely on the second number on the second pass.
- Open the Door: Once the combination is entered correctly, turn the handle (if present) or pull the door open.
Note: Precision is key when dialing mechanical combinations. If the safe does not open, repeat the steps carefully.
5.2 Changing the Combination
Specific instructions for changing the combination are usually provided on a separate sheet or sticker inside the safe. This process often involves a reset button or lever that is only accessible when the safe door is open. If no instructions are found, contact JUWEL customer support.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the safe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Lubrication: The mechanical lock mechanism generally requires no user lubrication. If the dial becomes stiff, consult a professional locksmith or JUWEL support.
- Door Hinges: Periodically check door hinges for smooth operation. If they squeak, a small amount of light lubricant can be applied.
