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
  • Bottom left (large) hot plate is dual mode. To run both elements for bigger pots, press the hot plate selection button twice. Pressing again turns the second element off.
  • Trouble-shooting: if it doesn’t work, check it hasn’t been locked (press lock button).

Oven:

  • To use, press power button above door.
  • It’s set to fan bake already. Use the up/down buttons to control temperature.
  • Extra trays in corner pantry cupboard, and baking paper / alfoil in second drawer to left of sink.

Dishwasher:

  • Power button on left, press and hold to turn on
  • Choose program, intuitive and well indicated – then press the play button.
  • There’s dishwashing detergent tabs in a box under the sink.

Where stuff is:

  • Cutlery & knives – in top drawer to the left of sink.
  • Glad wrap, alfoil, baking paper – in second drawer (below cutlery.)
  • Bowls & plates – in large drawer to the right of dishwasher.
  • Frypans – second large drawer beneath bowls & plates
  • Pots, pans, sieve – third large draw beneath frypans.
  • Mugs, glassware – to left cabinet above toaster & coffee machine
