Ground Floor

Kitchen

Microwave: It's touch sensitive. Press 800, then start and it will do 1 minute. To increase the time turn the dial up.

To open the door it's the bottom left corner button.

Light for cooker: behind the knives and chopping board is the light for under the cooker.

Small Living Room

TV: There is a TV in here. The Remote controls are on the fireplace mantel piece.

Press the red power button
Your options will come up of what you want to watch. We have Netflix, BBC Iplayer and YouTube.

First Floor

The floor has 2 bedrooms on it and 2 bathrooms.

Ensuite shower in bunkbed room. It takes a few minutes to warm up. Do not put it on full, it is powerful and when you open the door water will spray everywhere soaking the carpet. Point it into the corner and you can turn it up once you are in. This is England - you do not want to use this shower when water is being run elsewhere e.g. the bath or other taps....the water will suddenly go cold or hot! However, on the top floor, because it is electric, this doesn't happen.

Hair dryer: There is one under the bed in the top bedroom and also in the bunk bed room by the window on the floor.

Second Floor

The light in the toilet: face the toilet and the light switch is in left-hand corner, just under the ceiling by the door.

To use the shower: there is a cord hanging down by the shower. We leave this on. It needs to be on to use the shower. Just turn the dial in the shower to switch it on. The temperature takes a while to change.

Basement

To use the TV in the basement

You need to switch it on

The switch for the fairy lights, the speakers and the TV is the plug just under the fuse box. You flick the switch down and the fairy lights will come on.

Then, you turn the TV on. It's touch-sensitive. You cannot see the switch or feel it unless you look extremely closely. You run your finger along the base of the TV screen slowly and then it will switch on.

Then, turn the speakers on. This is the silver box under the TV. Just push the on button. It's circular. You need to make sure it's on the correct function. Turn the dial to TV.

You need Chromecast

Make sure your mobile device or computer is on the same Wi-Fi network as the Chromecast.

Vacuum Cleaner: it is under the steps on the way down to the basement

Cleaning Products: these are all under the sink in the basement

Washing Machine: It is auto dose. This means that you do not need to add washing detergent as it automatically does it. If you would like to do a fast wash 'speed perfect' reduces the time.

Security Cameras/Baby monitors: We have a security camera pointing at the back gate outside the kitchen and also on the driveway and in the basement. Only the one on the driveway will be on. We have a toddler who loves to escape to the river and can open the kitchen door so we got baby monitors!
