Heating control and air-conditioning

• In order to save energy, we lower the cabin’s temperature when there are no tenants at the cottage. The temperatures are raised automatically on the morning of check-in at 9:00 a.m. In winter, the temperature can still feel cool during severe frosts, especially if the cabin has been at a lower temperature all week.
• Please note that sometimes customers turn off the radiators. If it is very cool in the cabin, check that the radiators are switched on. Also check that the wall thermostats are switched on, and that the temperatures are set to +20 degrees. The wall thermostats are located near the doors, approximately 1.5 meters above the floor. The wall thermostat in the living room is next to the terrace door, behind the curtain.
• At the cottage we also have a air source heat pump in the living-room. When arriving to the villa during a cool season please turn on the device and adjust the room temperature to +21 degrees. The air source heat pump heats when a sun-symbol is selected from the remote control MODE functions. When leaving the cottage (in wintertime) please adjust the air conditioned back to +16 degrees.
• The air source pumps are controlled using a remote control. The remote control is on the wall. The living room remote control is on the right hand side of the fireplace. The sauna building’s air heat pump remote control is located on the right hand side of the front door when entering the room.
• You can use the air-conditioner in the summertime to cool down the room temperature if needed. But please never cool the room temperature with the air conditioning device when you have fire in the fireplace. Good cooling temerature is +25 degrees. Then the air does not feel too cold and you do not need to adjust the temperature all the time.
• In the downstairs toilets and in the shower roomes there are exhaust fans with a motion and moisture detector. The fan will turn on automatically when someone enters the toilet and the fan will be turned off automatically after some time.

Washing machines, water and wastewater

• All toilet waters are ripped and pumped to a communal waste water system with an electrical pump. Please note that it is not allowed to throw anything else to the toilet bin than human waste. Plastic and for example sanitary napkins will break the waste pump system.

Fire safety and smoking

• The cabin has two fireplaces, a fireplace in the main building and a wood-heated sauna stove in the sauna building. The smoke damper of the living-room fireplace is above the fireplace. The sauna smoke damper is above the sauna stove. Open the dampers before lighting the fire. The timing of closing the smoke dampers is important to avoid the danger of carbon monoxide. When the embers start to fade – i.e. no blue flames are visible – you can set the damper a little smaller. Only when the embers have completely burned out can the damper be closed completely. To improve the burning in the stove and in the fireplace, remember to empty the ashes regularly. The ashes can be emptied into the black aluminium bucket which is outside. Please also carry firewood to sauna and to the front of the fireplace after use. Firewood can be found on the wall of the firewood store in the traditional barn or in the storage in the traditional barn on the left.
• Use newspapers, straw and small sticks for kindling. If you want, you can bring kindling to light the fires in the fireplaces. The use of flammable liquids to light the cottage fireplaces is strictly prohibited.

Gas grill and barbecue hut

There is a gas grill on the terrace of the cottage. The use of the gas grill is always the customer’s responsibility. The condition of the grill must be checked before use. Never leave the grill unattended while using the grill.

Before using the grill, make sure that the gas hose is attached to the gas cylinder. If the gas bottle is not detached, place the pressure regulator (“painesäädin” pictured above) on top of the gas bottle and lift black plastic collar with your fingers while pressing it on top of the bottle, then press the collar down with your fingers. Make sure that the bottle is properly closed by lifting the bottle from the pressure regulator (when well attached, the bottle rises with it and does not come loose). Once the pressure regulator is attached, open the gas inlet valve from the pressure regulator. There are also videos and photo instructions online if you don’t succeed right away.

Once the gas bottle is attached, open the grill lid and turn the first switch of the grill to full power (left) and wait a couple of seconds for the gas to accumulate into the ignition chamber. Then press the ignition button by pressing the switch lightly down and turning it to the left. If the lighter does not work, lift up one of the grill grids and throw a burning match on the right front edge of the grill.

There is a spare gas bottle in the warehouse. Please let us know if you use a spare gas bottle so that we can bring a new bottle to the cottage at the next inspection.

On the yard there is a gazebo with an open fireplace. Remember to empty the ashes from the campfires into the ash bucket after use.
