Using the Hut

The main things guests usually need to know.

πŸ”₯

Lounge Heater

Use the up and down arrow buttons to adjust the temperature. Increase the temperature if you would like the room warmer and reduce it if the room feels too warm. Please avoid changing the timer settings unless needed.

Please do not cover the heater.

🚿

Shower and Hot Water

The hot water is fed from a boiler, so the shower should have good pressure.

Turn the shower dials to start the water and adjust the temperature.

The bathroom fan heater is above the toilet and works using the pull cord. It runs on a 30-minute timer.

🚽

Toilet and Septic Tank

Toilet rolls are stored under the bathroom sink.

Please do not flush wet wipes, sanitary products or anything other than toilet paper, as the property uses a septic tank system.

🍳

Induction Hob

The hob is an induction hob with two cooking zones and digital touch controls.

1. Switch the hob on at the wall socket.
2. Place a suitable induction pan on the cooking zone you want to use.
3. Tap the power button on the hob.
4. Select the left or right cooking zone.
5. Use the touch controls to increase or reduce the heat setting.
6. When finished, turn the hob off and allow the surface to cool.

The hob only works with suitable induction pans. If it does not heat, check that the pan is sitting flat on the cooking zone and is induction-compatible.

If the hob appears locked, press and hold the lock button for a few seconds until the lock indicator changes or disappears.

The surface may remain hot after cooking. Please do not touch the cooking area until it has cooled.

🧺

Washing Machine

The washing machine is a Candy Smart Pro washer dryer. Washing capsules are under the sink alongside the cleaning supplies.

1. Place your clothes inside the machine.
2. Add one washing capsule directly into the drum with your clothes.
3. Close the door firmly.
4. Turn the programme dial to a suitable wash setting.
5. Press Start/Pause to begin.
6. Wait until the cycle has finished and the door lock has released before opening.

The dryer works best with smaller loads. Please do not overload the machine. You can use the washing line outside.

TV and Entertainment
