How to

Complicated things made easy.

Entering the building

  1. Use the code given to you to enter the building for the first time and retrieve the keys from the mailbox
  2. From this point on, use the yellow badge to open the building's door, unlock the elevator and descend to the garage
  3. The grey badge is used to enter the underground parking by car
  4. NEVER LEAVE THE APARTMENT WITHOUT YOUR KEYS or you may not be able to go back in!

Underground parking

Underground parking is available for our guests. Places are not marked, so feel free to park wherever you want

  1. Locate the garage gate, which is on the left of the pedestrian entrance
  2. Use the grey badge on the left panel to open the gate and wait until you hear a confirmation sound
  3. Drive inside and take any spot available. Note that some passages can be very narrow
  4. Follow 'Bâtiment F' signs to enter directly into the building. Choose '-1' level in the elevator to return to the parking
  5. ALWAYS USE THE BADGE, even if the gate is open. Otherwise it will get blocked
  6. During the high season, finding a space may be challenging and we cannot guarantee you one, but there are numerous public parkings around, e.g. Grepon or Courmayeur

Sofa bed

Remove the top pillows and simply pull the highest metal bar all the way out. Done!

Dishwasher

It might not be worth to turn it on for a glass or two, but it's the easiest way to get the dishes done. We'll also appreciate if you could run it before you leave

  1. Remove any food leftovers from the dishes
  2. Place the dishes inside the dishwasher paying attention to leave enough space between them
  3. Put the capsule inside the small compartment in the door and close it carefully. You don't need to remove it from the foil as it dissolves in the water
  4. Press the big power button
  5. Now you can select the program with the 'P' button or leave the default one. We recommend R32' as it is fast and effective
  6. If the dishes are not perfectly clean after the process is finished, you may need to clean it by hand or use a different program
  7. Note that the dishwasher and the oven cannot run at the same time

Coffee machine

There are numerous great coffee shops around, but you can also start the day with a coffee without leaving home

  1. First, check if the coffee machine is plugged in and if the switch on the right side is on
  2. Make sure that the water reservoir is not empty. If it is, remove it and fill with a bit of tap water
  3. Open the lever at the top and place the coffee capsule inside it. Push it back firmly
  4. Use one of the two green buttons to make a big or small espresso as indicated by the icons
  5. You can hold the button to add more hot water
Both the capsules and coffee cream can be found in the narrow cupboard above the sink. Use only Nespresso compatible capsules.

Stove

The stove in our kitchen is an electrical induction plate. It to easy to use and very fast to clean. Additionally, the stove itself doesn't get hot so you cannot get burned

  1. With your bare finger touch the power button (I)
  2. Now choose one of the two heating surfaces by touching one of the 'circle' buttons
  3. Use the + and - buttons to set the power in the scale of 1 to 9
  4. You can readjust the power at any time for both of the surfaces independently
  5. Use the power button again to turn off the stove
Please note that the stove works only with the dedicated, induction-enabled pots and pans!

  4. To turn it off simply press the power button again
  5. Note that the oven cannot be used at the same time as the dishwasher

Electric heating

The heating system of the apartment is electric so you will need to turn it on once you check-in. There are three radiators in the property: one in the living room, one in the bedroom and a towel one in the bathroom.
The first two are operated in the same way:

  1. To switch radiator on/off use the red button in the middle
  2. Change the mode between using right/left arrows. The come in order: defrost, fixed temperature, eco (lower temperature) and scheduled
  3. Adjust the temperature using up and down arrows if needed.
    NOTE: Increasing the temperature doesn't speed up the heating, give it time to work.
Programmed (scheduled) mode changes the temperature during the day, allowing for better quality sleep and lower energy consumption. To use it make sure the time is setup correctly - follow instructions in the video to update it.

The bathroom radiator has a panel at the bottom. Click the red on/off button to turn it on. If needed, change the temperature using up/down arrows.

Bluetooth speaker

The Bluetooth speaker is a great way to listen to your own music loud and in high quality. The connection process is easy

  2. Press and hold the 'Bluetooth' button, until it starts flashing a blue light
  3. Now open the list of available Bluetooth devices on your phone, tablet or laptop
  4. Choose JBL Speaker and confirm pairing
  5. From now on, the speaker will play your music whenever you are around
Make sure to keep it charged - the charger and the cable are available in the cupboard under the TV

TV / Chromecast

You can obviously browse through the local TV channels, but Chromecast is what makes the TV really useful those days. Stream your favorite series or YouTube videos straight on the big screen

  1. Turn on the TV with the Phillips remote

Microwave

A microwave is the fastest way to heat basically any kind of food or beverages

  1. Open the microwave and place your food inside. Close the door
  2. Adjust the power with the lower knob - you can adapt it to your preference or to the instruction if provided with the food
  3. Set the time using the bigger knob. It's better to use several shorter intervals than to keep your food too long
  4. The microwave will turn off and notify you when the food is ready
Please do not place any metalic objects inside (aluminium foil, forks, juice cartoons) and avoid running the microwave empty
