Basic stuff

The washing machine is preset. Open the door, put in the wash, close, open front left hand compartment and put in liquid detergent, ( to second set of lines on cap), close, push dial and you're set. There is no dryer, just the clothesline, clothespins are in a bucket on the balcony.

The dishwasher is also preset. Only half fill the reservoir and close it. Turn the dial to Heavy/Normal wash and push the latch to the right. If it doesn't start, turn the dial one more click and it will start right up. Please do not put good knives or copper pots in the dishwasher, also please only use wood or plastic utensils in the copper pots.

In the winter if you use the fireplace, don't forget to open the flue.

The television and DVD player need to be left plugged in, (but turned off when not in use), or it needs elaborate resetting.

The chandelier switch is hard to find, it is behind the curtain near the piano.

The bedrooms have electric oil heaters, be sure to keep them a good distance from bed clothes and other flammables. Please turn them off and unplug them when not in use.

The trees and bushes are all on a drip system and a timer. There is no need to do anything to them unless you've been asked to.

Extra sheets, blankets, and towels are in the dressers and the linen closet.
