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. Most successful burglaries occur within
minutes of a criminal entering a home or business. A security safe slows
down a criminal and makes it more difficult to access your valuables
quickly. Your Browning ProSteel safe is the most cost-effective deterrent
to theft available on the market today. DO NOT HOWEVER, ASSUME
THAT ANY SAFE IS IMPENETRABLE — IT IS NOT! A
KNOWLEDGEABLE THIEF CAN GET INTO ANY SAFE IF GIVEN
THE APPROPRIATE TOOLS AND ENOUGH TIME. Your safe is a
deterrent and a delaying device. You can make it even more effective by
placing it in the right location and anchoring it to the floor and wall.
Browning ProSteel fire safes offer similar protection against fire. They
are fire-resistant, not fireproof. DO NOT ASSUME A FIRE-RESISTANT
SAFE WILL WITHSTAND ANY AND ALL FIRES — IT WILL NOT.
Browning ProSteel fire-resistant safes are evaluated in a controlled
test environment to assure that the safe’s interior temperature does
not exceed 350° F for the amount of time and temperature exposure
as stated on the door label placed on each safe. Different models of
Browning ProSteel safes have different fire ratings, and a longer time
rating indicates more fire resistance compared to a safe with a shorter
rating. You can improve your fire-resistant safe’s ability to protect your
valuables from fire by placing it in an appropriate location in your
home. Follow the instructions under “Placement of Your Safe” on
page 4. A safe is just one part of protecting your valuables. Adequate
homeowner’s insurance coverage should also be maintained.
INSPECTING YOUR SAFE
Upon receipt of your safe, you should immediately inspect it for any
damage that may have occurred during shipping. If your safe was
commercially delivered and you detect any damage, call the shipping
company that delivered your safe and report the damage.
IMPORTANT: Any damage, concealed or otherwise, not noted on the
delivery receipt must be reported to the shipping company within 15
days of delivery.
Your safe comes bolted to its shipping pallet. You will need to remove
the black plastic covers in the safe floor to access the bolts. Use a ½"
socket wrench to remove the bolts.
The safe door is heavy. do noT open The safe while locaTed on
an uneven or unsTable floor or on plush carpeT. The weighT of
The open door could cause The safe To Tip forward. see
insTrucTions on page 8 for “anchoring your safe.” failure To
follow This warning could resulT in serious injury or deaTh.
UL TOOL ATTACK LISTING
Browning ProSteel safes carry the UL tool attack label certifying
the design and construction have been tested by Underwriters
Laboratories® and passed the Residential Security Container
test specifications.
FIRE PROTECTION RATING
Browning ProSteel fire safes carry a fire rating to help you compare the
different levels of fire resistance offered. To develop the fire ratings,
safes are subjected to a rigorous fire test. Sample safes are placed in a
gas furnace and heated for the amount of time stated to the peak
temperature in the rating. Temperatures are monitored in several
locations throughout the safe. In order to pass the test, the safe interior
temperature must not exceed 350° F in any sensor location.

WATER AND FIRE DAMAGE
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.
SAFE SERIAL NUMBER
Your safe’s serial number is located on a label in the upper right-hand
corner of the rear exterior of the safe. Do not remove it. You will need
the serial number should warranty concerns arise. Since the safe will
probably be placed against a wall, you should record the serial number
on the first page of this owner’s manual, or in another secure location,
prior to installation. Do not lock the recorded serial number inside
the safe. You will need this serial number in case you lose your
combination or if the safe fails to open.
PLACEMENT OF YOUR SAFE
For maximum protection against theft, fire and weather exposure,
placement of your safe within your home is crucial. Place your safe
where it is not visible from windows or normal traffic areas. The best
way to protect your valuables is to keep them from being targeted in
the first place.
Placing your safe away from exterior doors and windows also makes
it more difficult and more time consuming for thieves to get your
valuables out of your home. Time is the crucial element. Thieves want
to get in and out of your home quickly. A time-consuming job is a
strong deterrent. The best location for your safe is in a basement, away
from windows, behind a locked door.
Special fire considerations: Browning ProSteel fire-resistant safes are
rated to withstand the time and temperature stated on the rating label.
However, when a home burns some portions of that fire may burn at
more than 2000° F. Placement of your safe away from potential hot
spots of the fire will improve the chances of your safe and contents
surviving a home fire. WHILE THERE IS NO GUARANTEE
TEMPERATURES ANYWHERE WILL REMAIN BELOW A SPECIFIC
TEMPERATURE, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU AVOID
PLACING YOUR SAFE IN, ABOVE OR BELOW THESE AREAS:
• KITCHEN — Most home fires begin in the kitchen area because
of open flames from cooking and flammable materials like grease,
cooking oils, wood cabinets, etc.
• GARAGE — Keep your safe as far away from the garage as
possible. Flammable liquids, automobiles and small engines can
start fires and flammable liquids and other chemicals stored in the
garage can fuel the fire.
• FURNACE OR WATER HEATER — Open flames in these areas
may cause fires to start, and gas lines provide additional fuel.
• STORAGE AREAS FOR FUEL SOURCES — Avoid areas with
firewood, black powder, smokeless powder, gasoline, propane,
paint and thinners or any other flammable material.
• UPPER FLOORS OF THE HOME — Heat rises and the upper
floors burn the hottest. The safe may fall through the floor if the
fire damages the joist structure. A fall from the upper floor may
damage the safe and break the fire seal around the door.
• BASEMENT CENTER — In a catastrophic home fire, burning
timbers, etc. from upper floors will cave in toward the center of
the basement floor and burn at an extremely high temperature.
The best positioning for fire protection is in your basement, against an
outside wall, away from areas where a fire is likely to start or burn
exceptionally hot.

REMOVING THE SAFE DOOR
Most Browning ProSteel safes have external hinges (except Compact
Series safes which feature a non-removable, internal hinge design),
which allow the door to open 180° and be removed for easier home
installation. The external hinge system in no way compromises security
because there are locking bolts around the perimeter of the door, and
even with the hinges removed the door is secured by the locking bolts.
The safe door is heavy and can be as much as 1⁄3 of The ToTal
weighT of The safe. should you choose To remove iT, be sure To
have enough people help supporT The weighT of The door and
care should be Taken To avoid dropping iT, which could cause

The door may be removed by opening it enough to clear the door frame
(approximately 110°) and lifting straight up. Re-installing the door is
simplified if the lower hinge is adjusted prior to removing the door.
