Operation manual
 
Balcony door handle To close doors push door closed then twist handle upwards to engage locks, then release to normal position.
 
Cooker hob Please use pans to suit size of ring. Special hob cleaner on shelf in loo.
 
Cooker oven Most things cook well on 200C
Cooker grill Turn oven control to maximum and use solid shelf as grill pan.
 
Dishwasher Place dishwasher tablet in door cavity and close cover by sliding forward and pressing down. Start at number 2 on dial unless pots are seriously dirty.
 

Heaters Heaters are controlled by the timer and thermostats set to provide a comfortable temperature relevant to each room. Please note these settings and return to them if you need to change the settings at all. The heated towel rails have similar controls but also have a useful two hour ‘forced on’ override button. The hot water is controlled by a signal from the electricity supplier, heating during the night and the afternoon. We have upgraded the tank from the specified 200 litre model to a 300 litre model so with sensible use there is plenty of hot water.

Hot Water The electric hot water switch is the second from the left top row switch on the electricity trip panel. Please switch off at the end of your stay.

Iron/ironing board Ensure iron is empty of water before storing away.
 
Keys One key fits the exterior door, the apartment entrance door and the ski locker room door and the ski locker. Don’t worry, whilst all apartment keys operate the communal locks, individual apartments and ski lockers are unique and secure. Please do not lose the key - replacements are very difficult and expensive! Please lock the building entrance if entering or exiting between 20.00 and 07.00 or leaving the building totally unoccupied (other apartments unused).
 
Lounge lights The suspended light can be operated from 3 points in the room to make it easy to put it out as you go to bed or get up in the night.
 
Microwave oven Set power level with top dial. Set time with bottom dial. Turn timer dial past the required time and then return to it, to enable the most accurate timing.

Noise Please show consideration for other building occupants by keeping noise levels (TV volume etc.) reasonable and by wearing soft soled shoes/slippers in the apartment.

Parking There is an allocated parking space (4) for one car in the lower car park. If you have a second car and other apartments are unoccupied their vacant spaces may be used, or you can try and park end on to your first car. Please park carefully and during the ski season allow for the snowclearing equipment, it is in your interest!

Recycling banks There is a bottle bank (green top) and a plastics, tins and small cartons bank (yellow top) just downhill from the tourist office.
 
Rubbish skips In common with many parts of France the building does not have an individual rubbish bin. Please dispose of your rubbish opposite the tourist office (grey lids).
 
Shutters Closing the shutters at night helps conserve energy by further improving the window insulation. Please ensure that when the shutters are open they are secured against the wall by their safety catches.
 
Skis and boots Please do not lean equipment against the building, inside or out. Skis should be left in the allocated locker in the ski locker room. If boots have to be taken up to the apartment please remove excess snow/ice, do not wear them beyond the entrance hall and place them on the boot mat in the apartment entrance hall. Building regulations do not allow equipment of any kind to be left in the communal stairwells or corridors.
 
Smoking Please respect our no smoking rule anywhere in the building and do not discard cigarette ends, etc. in the carpark and grounds.
 
Television/DVD The television incorporates a CD and DVD player and can be controlled by either the remote controller or buttons on the right hand side. There is a selection of CDs and DVDs for your use and obviously you are welcome to bring your own. Additions to the library are always welcome.
 
Touch lamps Reading lights in bedrooms operate through touch. Once for on and once for off in sequence.
 
Vacuum cleaner Stored in the hall cupboard.
 
Ventilation There is an automatic ventilation system operating in the shower room, the separate loo and the kitchen. Pulling the string once on the kitchen extractor will give a 25 minute boost.
 
Water on/off Outside the apartment 5 entrance door to the left inside the big grey cupboard are the controls for turning the water on and off. Our apartment is the middle tap (4). Please turn the water off at the end of your stay.
 
WiFi zone This floor has a WiFi zone that provides free broadband internet access, though the signal strength will vary in different areas within the apartment.
