Laundry
- Washing
-
The washing machine manual is available to download.

For a 30 min, very lightly soiled wash, use J setting
-
Normal wash, use H setting for 70 mins
-
I recommend H with Quick Wash for general laundry
-
-

The washing machine is also a drier, with program details attached.
-
Note: use the drier as a last resort due to the energy consumption

Shower and Bathroom
-
Shower Room downstairs
-
The shower does not depend on central heating/hot water
-
Like many small homes, when toilets are flushed or cold water is used elsewhere, the shower temperature may fluctuate
-
DO NOT flush loo, use washing machine or cold taps while showering
-
Flooding - if the shower tray drains very slowly, hair will be caught in the waste trap / plug hole
-
The waste trap needs to be removed with a hook/fork, and the hair put into the bin
-
Please clear the trap as soon as the tray does not drain
-
-
Bathroom Shower upstairs
-
This is a hand shower only
-
Suitable for hair washing and small kids
-
Please be careful of flooding the bathroom
-
-
Please ONLY flush toilet paper

A coastal village's system cannot cope with anything else

Please dispose of wipes and sanitary products in the bins
