Entering the house

FRONT DOOR - Normal lock/key
(Note: to re-lock, first close the door, then lift the handle UP fully, then turn key)

ONCE INSIDE

LIGHTS - If shutters are closed it may be dark inside the house so a torch would be useful until appropriate light switches are found.

WINDOWS & SHUTTERS - Open all windows and shutters, attach clips to hold shutters open. The lower double bedroom has an electric shutter which can be raised from inside. (With a switch) or from outside (with a key). 

HOT WATER - The hot water should be "ON" If house has not recently been occupied proceed to laundry room (downstairs). The contact-breaker, marked with a shower symbol (Immersion heater), may need to be switched to the "ON" position.
CALOR GAS - This will only require turning on in winter for central heating. The valve to turn on the gas is located behind the large immersion tank cylinder on the wall to the far right of the laundry. (you will need to crawl under immersion heater tank to reach it)! Red arrow in VERTICAL position indicates GAS ON. In HORIZONTAL indicates GAS OFF. (See PHOTO).

 Leaving the House

1. Switch off "Cumulus" (immersion heater) by disengaging the appropriate contact breaker.
2. Turn off gas valves in laundry & below cooker hot plates/gas rings.
3. Close shutters & fix in position with internal bars. Then close & lock windows.
4. Lock both downstairs bedrooms & leave keys in locks.
   French door locks require that the door handle is held in a fully raised position as the key is turned.
