How to work:
- Hob – Press the bottom left button to turn on then select the desired heat ring shown on the button pad. To adjust the heat, use the +/- buttons to increase or decrease. If the hob is locked, hold the +/- button simultaneously until it turns off.
- TV – Make sure the TV is switched on at the socket and the TV is on standby (shown by a constant red light on the bottom left corner). Press the top left button on the remote to turn the TV on. BBC 1 should start playing. To access the channel list press the ‘GUIDE’ button. If the TV won’t connect to the Internet, please contact Katie.
- Heating – The heating is controlled via the control pad in the hallway to the right of the main door. The displayed temperature will be the lodge temperature. If you would like to raise or lower this simply rotate the dial until the desired temperature is shown at the bottom right corner of the display. After a few seconds the display will show a flame symbol to indicate the heating has been activated. If you have lowered the temperature the heating will turn off (you may need to open some windows as the lodges are very well insulated). If you have raised the temperature the heating will come on until the lodge temperature reaches the temperature you set. Please be mindful of your energy usage.
- Hot Water – The hot water is on constantly. If you do run out of water (If you have consecutive showers/baths) then the tank will reheat in around an hour.
- Electric Fire – The controls for the fire are on the fire itself. Under the top right corner there is a switch and 2 buttons. To turn on make sure the switch is set to the on position and then press the flame button to activate the fire. The other button will cycle through the different flame colours.
- Dishwasher – Open from the top being careful to not let the door fall to the ground. Press the furthest right button to turn on, press the ‘P’ button to select ‘ECO’ (a light will appear above it). Load a tablet into the compartment and slide shut then close the door. The dishwasher should start after a few seconds.
- Hot Tub – The Hot tub will be pre set at 40 degrees Celsius. JET 1 has a high and low setting which is cycled by pressing the button in sequence (OFF/LOW/HIGH/OFF). The lights can be turned on and changed to different colours by pressing the button labelled ‘lights’. The large dial to the left of the lounge headrest adjusts which side of the hot tub the jets are active, adjust accordingly. The small button next to this turns the air bubble on or off. Please note the air cools down the hot tub more quickly.
- Blinds - The blinds are remote controlled and the controller is next to the light switch in the bedroom. To select the different blinds individually use the < & > buttons on the bottom to cycle from ‘0’ to ‘3’.
- Sauna - There is a safety switch inside the lodge for the sauna. This is the switch in the lobby area next to the front door that is lit with a blue light. Press this once and the light will go off. This means the sauna is on and you can use the controls within the sauna itself. There are two control dials on the sauna heating unit. To set the required time you wish to use please use the dial on the left. The right hand dial is to set the desired temperature. When the timer is up, the sauna will automatically switch off. When leaving please make sure the door is closed properly. DO NOT FILL THE WATER BUCKET WITH WATER FROM THE HOT TUB. THE CHLORINE AND CHEMICALS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS HARM IF THEY’RE POURED OVER THE HOT ROCKS.
Hot Tub Guidelines:
- Remove ALL 4 CLIPS before opening the cover. Do not remove the cover and place on the floor. This damages the cover and a charge may apply.
- Shower before entering to remove all make-up and fake tan. Failure to do so may result in the water becoming cloudy/dirty in which case we will need to empty and refill the hot tub. Unfortunately it may take some time to reach operating temperature.
- Do not bring glass in or near the hot tub. Please use the provided plastic cups.
- Do not use soaps or oils in the hot tub.
- No jumping or diving into the hot tub.
- An adult must supervise children at all times.
