How do I use the kitchen?
The kitchen has all the essentials for cooking and dining – cutlery, crockery, pots & pans, oven, microwave, dishwasher and a fridge.
Washing up & cleaning:
- There’s dishwashing detergent in the black pump bottle next to the tap, and under the sink.
- There’s additional scourers & wipes in the cabinet under the sink, and
- A spare tea-towel in the retractable tea-towel hanger.
- In the cabinet to the left of the fridge, there’s a broom and dust pan (as well as fire extinguisher & blanket for emergencies!)
- The bin is the pull out drawer to left of sink. Bin liners under sink, second unlined bin is for recycling.
Stove top:
- To use, hold bottom-right button on the stove top to power it on (long press)
- Select the hot plate to use
- Adjust temp for selected hot plate with up/down arrow buttons
