Appliance Safety
If you are hiring one of our holiday homes then you may find some of the following information useful. Please note that the contents of equipment in our holiday homes vary according to grade.
Holiday home security
Please remember when you go out to shut all windows and doors. This is especially important if you are in a holiday home with an alarm, as this may set the alarm off.
As windows are used as a means of escape, there are no safety catches.
Microwaves
These operate as domestic microwaves. Please do not place metal objects or aluminium foil inside the microwave.
Carbon monoxide / smoke detector
If this beeps then please inform reception so we can then change the battery. Should they activate , evacuate and inform reception.
Fridges
Please do not set the thermostat too high. When the fridge is full it takes time to cool down. A setting of 3 or 4 should be sufficient.
When you leave, please turn off the fridge and open the fridge door, so it will be ready for the next guest.
Electrical equipment
All electrical appliances in your holiday home have been safety checked.
Guests use their own electrical equipment at their own risk. Please do not overload electrical sockets and switch off equipment when not in use.
External doors
Do not rely on the use of the door retainer in windy conditions.
Ventilation
Never cover any floor / ceiling vents under any circumstances.
Caravan Steps
Take care when going up and down caravan steps/ramps as they may be narrow or steep. Always use the handrail. Caravan steps/ramps may be slippery when wet or icy. Please take additional care.
