Do I need to do anything special for storage and maintenance?
Last Updated: 07/05/2010
Yes. Due to the protective insulation in our SentryŽ Fire-SafeŽ products - during normal use, moisture may be released into the interior of your product. To protect your items against this moisture, we suggest that you open your unit for a half hour, twice a month to let the air circulate on the inside. If this is not possible, we suggest that you place delicate articles, such as stamps, coins and jewelry, in an airtight, molded plastic container inside your Sentry Fire-Safe unit. (We do not have airtight containers available for purchase; check for these products in your area.)  You can also order desiccant moisture absorbing packs from us at the following link:  http://www.sentrysafeshop.com/Moisture-Control-Desiccant-Packets-p/desiccant%20pack.htm

Pearls or jewelry with pearls should not be stored in any Fire-Safe product. This is because pearls are more sensitive to damage than the 350° F interior temperature maintained during a typical fire.
