Heating
The apartment is heated by underfloor heating and is very energy efficient, it retains heat and therefore, an ambient temperature will be reached by setting the thermostat to 21/22°.
If you do require it any warmer, we kindly ask that before you depart it is returned to 21/22°.
Many Thanks
To adjust the heating please use the control panel located in the hallway underneath the intercom/door entry. Simply turn the knob up or down to achieve the desired temperature.
Please note, do not adjust the settings on the individual heating controls in the hallway cupboard. We respectfully ask that you consider the environment and do not overheat the apartment when not occupied.
Bathroom ventilation
Please leave the main lights on in the bathroom/en suite for 5 minutes after a shower to enable the extractor fan to clear the steam.
Sliding balcony doors
Ensure the handle is at an angle whilst closing the door.
Then once the door is shut and tight to the frame.
Move the handle to a vertical position.

The horizontal position opens the door at the top only allowing ventilation.
The upright position allows door to fully open.
The downwards position locks the door.
