The main kitchen LIGHTING is controlled by the switch on the wall by the double doors. There are 4 scenes from dim to bright, or use the app.
The EXTRACTOR FAN over the hob and its lights are controlled by the remote control in the utensil drawer. Please use the extractor fan when frying.
The top drawers pull open, the lower drawers push to spring open. Close the draw by gently flinging the draw closed this will engage the soft self-closers. DO NOT PULL OPEN AS THIS BREAKS THE DRAW.
The cupboard doors without handles press to open and press to close. The far-right cupboard is good for dry food storage.
The BOILING TAP works by pressing the knurled ring down twice in quick succession, then turning anti-clockwise. Turn this ring clockwise to turn it off. For COLD FILTERED WATER press knurled ring down until blue light shows.
Please use the DISHWASHER. Tablets are supplied and are under the sink. If you prefer to wash dishes in the sink, you can find a drying mat under the sink. The big plates only fit in the back right of the lower shelf, anywhere else and the rotary arm doesn’t rotate and your dishes will not be clean. The plates go better in the dishwasher in the prep kitchen, please stagger the plates. In the prep and yoga kitchen, use the rapid wash. In the Kitchen, use program 5.
INDUCTION HOB, turn on and then select the correct ring by pressing the red number, not the image, then slide the heat up.
To unlock the HOB in the YOGA KITCHEN, switch on, then hold the + and - buttons down together until the lock releases.

Please don’t cut food in the pans or on the marble surfaces - use a cutting board! Please use plastic utensils only in the pans.
Do not use Viakal on stone surfaces!
Black microfibre CLOTHS are for food prep surfaces only! The other coloured cloths in the prep kitchen wall-mounted cupboards are for general cleaning outside of the kitchen, with the red and purple cloths used for bathrooms only. TEA TOWELS and black cloths are in the second drawer down on the left of the island.
HOT items can be placed on the stone surfaces, apart from hot frying pans, which can mark the surface. Mugs with hot beverages or warmed plates can be placed on the table, but please do not put hot pots from the hob or oven on the table.
If the OVEN needs professional cleaning, this will be chargeable at £50. Please use foil.
Please RECYCLE. The crates on either side of the sink are for clean, dry recycling.
The island bin has 2 sections one for non-recyclable waste and cooked food or meat and the other for vegetable peeling. The Vegetable peelings go in the black bin around the side of the garage for composting.
Please take all your rubbish to the bins next to the gate when you leave. All cardboard and paper are to be disposed of in the boxes. Bottles, tins, rigid plastic and cartons must go in the blue bin. Anything else goes in the black bin.
The yoga kitchen has a FIRST AID KIT including a heart attack kit and they are on the shelving.
There is a BLUE FOLDER that has all the info on all the appliances in the black Chinese cupboard in the Kitchen.

The lower, main oven has fan assistance; the upper oven has a grill.
Please use the dishwasher in the prep kitchen for the plates. Stagger the plates on the lower draw and the bowls on the top draw. Both dishwashers will need their strainers rinsed at least once during your stay.
Use the island bins for veg peelings; use the black counter bin for plate scrapings. Use the shelves in the prep kitchen for stacking plates.
