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.

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.
