General Care
NOTE: When returning your holiday
home simply reverse the procedure
above. Taking these simple precautions
will help to protect and maintain the
efficiency of the system.
5 Dish washers only - Remove the filter in
the tub at the bottom and use a sponge
to soak up water in the sump.
6 Washing machines only - Drain the water
from the pump by removing the filter. See
washing machine instructions for how to
do this.
(k) Pour anti-freeze or common salt into the
WC pan and also the sink, basin and
shower waste traps. Avoid these
substances coming into contact with
metallic surfaces such as stainless steel
sinks or waste outlet and remove any
spillage. We recommend the use of a small
funnel.
(l) Switch off and unplug all electrical appliances
(including TV Aerial plug). Turn mains control
switch to off position.
(m) Remove all food. Thoroughly vacuum all
carpets and vinyl to remove any traces of
food.
(n) Empty the vacuum and or fit a clean bag.
(o) The kitchen sink should be free of all
particles and left clean.
(p) Carry out a full lubrication schedule (i.e.
locks, hinges, jockey wheel).
(q) Clear gutters and fall pipes to prevent
debris blocking the system.
(r) Wash and polish exterior paintwork.
(s) Close and secure roof light (where fitted)
and all windows making sure no curtains
are trapped but are hanging free.
(t) Preferably, soft furnishings should be
removed and stored in ideal conditions, or,
if they are to remain within the unit, it is
advisable to place cushions and mattresses
separately on end or edge to allow a free
movement of air around them.
(u) Secure exterior windows. Many people
leave bowls of water-absorbing crystals or
common salt as a means of withdrawing
moisture from the air. No moisture means
no mildew and damp, so the practice is
worthwhile.
(v) Ensure all fixed ventilation points (high and
low) are clear from debris and obstructions.
CENTRAL HEATING: Do not drain off the
radiator system, it is a sealed system
protected by an anti-freeze solution.
