Heating and Hot water
The controller for the heating and hot water is in the kitchen, next to the
external door. Please remember to turn them both off when you leave.
The room temperature thermostat is positioned above, and to the right of,
the bar serving hatch. The big numbers show the room temperature, the
small numbers show the thermostat setting. If you need the temperature to
be higher (or lower) then it may be adjusted using the buttons on the unit,
but please return it to 18C or less when you leave.
To conserve oil please do not turn the heating on more than one hour
