Instructions for using cooker:
• Make sure the cooker is turned on at the socket on the wall. The five dials on the left hand-side operate the gas hobs – push in the appropriate dial and turn anti-clockwise to the lowest flame, and hold until it ignites.
• The three dials on the right hand side operate the electric oven. To operate the oven, turn the timer dial on the far right hand side to the left (please note, the timer itself does not work). Choose your temperature using the temperature dial. Choose your function (e.g. grill, fan oven) using the function dial.
• Please use extractor fan.

Washing facilities
Guests are welcome to use the washing machine. Unfortunately, we do not have a dryer. But we have plenty of wind outside! There is a communal washing line in the back garden. There are pegs if you’d like to hang out washing.
If it raining outside, there is a clotheshorse.
The washing machine has a quick cycle called ‘Daily Quick 30.’ It takes around 30 minutes. The other cycles are longer, and take around 2 hours.
The washing machine, washing detergent, clotheshorse, pegs, iron and ironing board are all in the hall cupboard beside the bathroom.

Bathroom
We ask that guests do not flush baby wipes or sanitary products down the toilet, as it may break the toilet’s macerator.
This is an old building, so the plumbing is a little ‘quirky’. Sometimes the toilet gets blocked – there is a blue plastic plunger in the hall cupboard.
To turn on the shower, turn the top knob 90° to the left.

Heating
The heating is programmed to come on in the morning and in the evening. If you would like to change the temperature, please message us.

Use the parking permit from the desk when entering the flat, displaying it on your vehicle's dashboard to avoid fines. Guests can use the permit during their stay, but it must be returned to the apartment desk. I am not responsible for fines due to incorrect use; guests are responsible for the permit during their stay. A £95 charge applies for lost, damaged, or unreturned permits.
