Utilities (Cupboard under stairs)

Heating

The property is of eco construction, insulated with triple glazing and underfloor heating throughout. There is a combi boiler with hot water available on demand.

The heating is set to a programme to come on for periods throughout the day, as are the towel radiators. We would prefer you to leave the main settings as they are. Both the central heating and towel radiator, “boxes”, should be on, “Auto”. Should you not feel the property is warm enough you can turn the individual thermostats up (which are in each room). These display the actual heat and the desired heat. Should this not be sufficient there is an, “extra hour”, button on the towel radiator and central heating boxes.

Room Thermostat guide

• The actual room temperature is the larger number. The required temperature is the smaller number. Use the up and down arrow to adjust the desired temperature.

Washing machine/dryer

There is a washing machine and tumble dryer in the cupboard underneath the stairs.

Washing machine and dishwasher stacker

There is a pull out drawer between the washing machine and tumble dryer. This is to put washing on only. The weight limit to be put on the shelf is ten (10) kilograms. Please observe this. Under no circumstances are children to be put on this shelf.

Washing machine

This should be relatively self explanatory however detailed instructions can be found here.

• Load dryer, press on/off. Press start/pause/cancel to start the programme.
• The dryer has extra dry, cupboard dry, normal, dry and iron dry functions.
• Please clean the filter of lint in the door after use.

Iron (Russell Hobs)

• Keep out of reach of children when energised or cooling down.
• Use or set on its heel on a stable level, heat resistant surface, preferably an ironing board.
• Don't leave unattended while plugged in or while standing on the ironing board.
• Unplug before filling, cleaning and after use.
• Don't operate the appliance if it malfunctions or leaks.
• If the cable is damaged return the iron to avoid hazard.
• Preparation
  • Check textile for care symbols
  • Dot settings
    • 1 dot Cool (Nylon, acrylics, polyester)
    • 2 dot = warm (wool, polyester mixtures)
    • 3 dot = hot (cotton, linen)
    • Max - Denim
  • If there is an iron with a cross through the garment should not be ironed.
• Filling
  • you can use tap water
  • Unplug the iron
  • Hold with the front raised
  • Open the water inlet cover
  • Pour slowly to let the air in the reservoir escape, otherwise you will cause an air lock and the water will overflow.
  • Don't fill past the max. marking or water will escape in use.
• After use
  • Set temperature control to one dot and set the steam to off (crossed out steam symbol).
  • Unplug the iron.
