Keys & Security.

You’ll be given two keys. Note these also work on the exterior doors of the study and bedroom  2, as well as the front door. When you leave, please ensure all are locked and windows closed. The sitting room sliding doors will need to have the handles facing up for the doors to be locked.

Internet.

Network is ‘VDW’ and password is ‘Powrie@1’.

Hallway Master Light Switches.

As you enter you’ll see three master switches which turn off all the lights on the three floors. We encourage you to use these as needed when you’re leaving. Don’t forget to turn them back on when you return!

Ski Room Boot Heaters.

If needed, turn them on using the switches on the top of the heaters on the right hand side. This will light up the display panel. Then press MENU once and then OK three times to begin a 2 hour cycle. Explainer video here.

Kitchen.

Quooker Boiling Water tap. Press down the knurled collar three times. On the third turn, keep it pressed down and turn it anticlockwise and to start the boiling water feed. To stop it, turn it back clockwise and it will pop up and stop.

Insinkerator.

The waste disposal button is to the right of the tap. It’s quite quiet so remember to turn it off!

Rubbish & Recycling.

Please regularly clear this by disposing of it in the communal bins. There are some on Route des Ponthieux - at the top of the private access road, turn right and they are about 75m on your left.

Ovens & Hobs.

Fondue Sets. There are two of these in the cupboards by the bar stools, under the worktop. Push cupboard doors in to open. Lighter gel packs can be purchased in the supermarkets.

Bluetooth Speakers (sitting room and sauna).

They are called ‘Lithe Audio’. No password required.

Wood burner.

You’ll find firelighters and a lighter in the orange pots above the burner. The door should be properly closed and the vent lever at the bottom of the door controls the airflow - keep it to the right to allow air in, and to the left to cut it off and extinguish the fire.

Sauna.

Touch the screen on the control panel (between sauna and window). On the top right, press “1” and then we’d recommend selecting a favourite programme (press the heart symbol at the bottom), eg “95, 2 hrs”. Note that it will take about 45 mins to an hour to reach this temperature. You don’t have to sit on a towel in the sauna but please do always shower before using it.

Hot tub.

Unclip and remove the cover. Press the screen and then the 1 and 2 buttons. Then press the bottom left option on the home screen to turn the jets on. When you return to the Home Screen you can turn on the lights from the middle option. Explainer video here. When you’ve finished, turn the lights and jets off and replace the cover (remember to fasten the clips as this will blow away if there’s a storm).

Window and Door Handles.

You need to push these in before you’re able to turn them!

Fuse Board.

This is in the laundry. We have a 36kw 3 phase supply but the system can be overloaded and trip still. If this happens, the main switch to restore power is at the bottom, below the green “Linky” box. It will trip again shortly afterwards if the appliances are not rationed however.
