APPLIANCE MANUALS

DISHWASHER
There is a Dish-drawer in the kitchen. This is pre-set for the quickest wash cycle. See the instruction manuals if you want to use other cycles, as the newer Dish-drawers have some complicated settings. Dishwashing tablets are under the sink in the kitchen. Please turn the Dish-drawer on if there are dirty dishes when you leave.
OVEN
OVEN AND MICROWAVE - There are two ovens and a microwave, with independent controls. If you have trouble reading the oven settings (bake, fan bake, grill etc) there is a copy in the narrow cupboard beside the ovens (and more detail in the instruction book). Oven trays and dishes are in the drawers underneath and the cupboard beside the ovens. Please wipe any spills off the glass doors with a paper towel while still warm.
GAS COOK TOP
The gas supply is from a bottle outside, so there will be a slight lag when you turn it on. A light and an extractor fan are controlled on the range hood. Please use extractor when cooking, to reduce smells and moisture in the air. Please clean the glass under the gas hobs after each use, so food isn’t baked on.
Laundry
Please feel free to use the washing machine and dryer in the laundry cupboard. There is washing liquid in the laundry cupboard. Please use the extractor fan in the laundry cupboard whenever you use the washer and drier. The switch is on the wall just outside the laundry cupboard. Please empty the lint filter after every load as the lint can become a fire hazard. The iron is in the laundry cupboard, an ironing board in the wardrobe in the back bedroom. Clothes drying rack is in a big storage bin on the side deck; best to use on the side deck.
