5. Setup and Installation

The ARREGUI Basa floor safe drawer requires professional or experienced installation into the floor. The drawer must be installed so that its top cover is flush with the finished floor surface.

5.1 Site Preparation

1. Choose Location: Select a discreet location in your home or office, typically under a carpet or piece of furniture, where the safe will be hidden.
2. Measure: Carefully measure the dimensions of the drawer (12.5 cm H x 31.5 cm W x 38.6 cm D) to determine the required cavity size in the floor. Allow for slight clearance.
3. Clear Area: Ensure the chosen area is free from any obstructions, including electrical conduits, water pipes, or structural elements. Consult building plans if necessary.

5.2 Floor Cavity Creation

Creating the floor cavity will vary depending on your floor type (concrete, wood, etc.). This step typically requires specialized tools and expertise. The cavity must be precisely sized to allow the drawer to sit flush with the floor surface.

5.3 Drawer Placement and Securing

1. Insert Drawer: Carefully lower the ARREGUI Basa drawer into the prepared floor cavity. Ensure it fits snugly and the top edge is perfectly level with the surrounding floor.
2. Mark Fixing Points: The drawer features pre-drilled fixing holes: 4 on the base and 3 on each side. Mark the corresponding points on the floor and cavity walls.
3. Drill Pilot Holes: Using an appropriate drill bit, create pilot holes for the specialized fixing screws provided.
4. Secure Drawer: Insert and tighten the specialized screws through the fixing holes to firmly anchor the drawer to the floor and cavity walls. Ensure the drawer is stable and cannot be easily removed.

6. Operating Instructions

This drawer is designed to house an ARREGUI Basa safe (sold separately). The drawer itself does not have a locking mechanism; its purpose is to conceal and protect the safe.

6.1 Placing the Safe

1. Open Drawer Cover: The drawer's top cover has a 26 mm diameter opening. Use your finger or a suitable tool to lift the cover.
2. Insert Safe: Place your ARREGUI Basa safe securely inside the drawer. Ensure it fits properly and does not obstruct the cover from closing.
3. Close Drawer Cover: Carefully lower the drawer cover back into place. It should sit flush with the floor.

• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces of the drawer cover with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the lacquered finish.
