QUICK GUIDE
KITCHEN
The
cupboards do not all have handled and require you to press the side and they
will open (above the microwave as an example). There is everything you
require from a Cafetierre, Milk Frother, Toaster etc... The full
instructions to use the Microwave, Oven and Hob are all listed on the Website
(under the Essentials tab). A quick guide:
Microwave -
Turn the round knob to the required time, select the strength of microwave and
then press Start.
Hob - Press
the On Button, select how many hobs you require and then slide your finger up
the scale for the required heat. The hob is induction, so only heats up
when there is a pan on it and cools as soon as the pan is removed. You
will also find a griddle plate in the drawertunder he hob, which can be laid
over the hob and is perfect for steaks etc...
Extractor
Fan/Hob Light - To switch on the Extractor Fan/Hob Light, pull towards you to
reveal the controls. In addition to the
light here, there is lighting under the cupboards (switch on the RHS, next to
the Nespresso power socket).
Oven - The
two round knobs pop out and then once you have selected the mode, you can then
choose the temperature and off you go....
Nespresso
Machine - Once switched on, you select one of the 3 round symbols (for size of
espresso shot), insert a pod and close the sliding lid to start automatically
(make sure your cup is in position...).
To have a Cappucino, fill the Milk Frother to the line. Pop into the Microwave for 2 minutes and then
use the plunger to create a froth.
Dishwasher
- The user buttons are on upper side of the door and are pretty self
explanatory.
LIVING ROOM
There are
two drawers above the cupboards, which contain maps and other items that may
assist you during your stay. The DVD Player is in the cupboard under the
television and there is a small selection of movies (I hope you like our choices...).
To operate the TV, Bose etc...
Television
- To switch on, press either the Power Switch, Numerical Number, or TV Button
on the remote. To switch between TV mode and the Radio (Digital Radio)
and DVD, press the Menu Button
Bose
Soundlink Mini - You have the choice of plugging in your device via the
headphone jack (cord provided). Just select Aux and you are good to go.
You can also connect via Bluetooth. Just press and hold (until it
starts flashing) the Bluetooth button on the Bose and locate it on your devise
and it will connect. The Soundlink can be lifted off the stand (which is
also the charger) and moved to other locations in the home (if you fancy some
music in the bedroom, or kitchen...)
Digital
Radio - Pretty self explanatory and all stations are programmed in. You can also select a manual tuning mode.
BEDROOM/BATHROOM
The
switches to the main light and extractor fan for the Bathroom are next to the
door. The mirror in the bathroom is heated, so will not mist.
WIFI
The box is
located in the Bedroom and the WiFi code can be found on the rear of the box
(please do not remove). There is also a booster box in the Living Room.
Both are normally switched on when you arrive, but if not just turn on
the power at the mains. The WiFi Code
is: 3c3a26a9dc
PARKING
We have a private parking space, which is behind the house. The parking is off Penwerris Lane (first entrance on the RHS), which is the first road on the RHS as you drive up Symons Hill
(opposite the Greenbank Hotel). There are spaces for up to 5 cars, however our dedicated space is next to the stone wall. The parking has a sign to say that it is private property/parking and fines apply. This is in place to deter other people parking there and you will not be penalised. There is a pathway connecting the parking to the house. Lighting is minimal
at night. There is also on street parking.
HEATING
We tend to
have the heating switched off in between rentals. We also feel it is easier
for people to use the system in a Manual Mode, rather than the complex
Automatic Settings (there is a separate Blog Entry with the link to these).
To switch the heaters on, please follow the following steps:
1
Switch on
Heater Power Switch
2
Press the Central
Button to switch between On and Standby Mode (not normally required – just if
it is in Standby Mode when you switch on)
3
Make sure
that the M symbol is showing (Manual). If it shows A, then press the
Man/Aut button to change it to M (bottom button)
4
Use the +
and - buttons to adjust the temperature, to the desired setting
Thats it -
the Heaters work very quickly and you should warm up in no time at all.
HOT WATER
TANK
The tank is located behind the wardrobe. There is a switch on the LHS of the interior of the wardrobe. This needs to be switched on when you arrive (please remember to switch off when you leave). It is programmed to heat up 3 times a day. If you need a boost, there is a separate switch which is located next to the main switch. This gives a 60 minute boost.
RUBBISH
Our bin is
clearly marked and please use this. The collection is on Tuesdays and we
ask for people to pop the bins out onto the pavement (outside the gates) the
night before.
IRON &
BOARD/VACUUM CLEANER/WINDOW VAC
You will
find these in the cupboard in the Cloakroom.
We have a Karcher Window Vac, if you wish to demst the windows on a cold
morning. There is a charger on the shelf
next to it. Please don’t forget to empty
the water container after use.
GUIDES
There are
plenty of maps and guides in the drawer under the television. Please add
to them if you come across anything useful
