There are fans available that you can plug in wherever you want.
For heating, each radiator is equipped with a control knob.
Next to the intercoms or some of the elevator buttons, you’ll see these black plastic circles. Tap your badge on it to unlock the door or elevator.
A small green light tells you if it’s open.
This apartment is our home, so you’ll find some of our personal touches, toys, and so on. Feel free to play, read, or use items from the kitchen cabinets; please put everything back where you found it and, if necessary, replace it!
Create a draft
In addition to fans, one of the best ways to cool down your apartment is to create drafts. Use the doorstops (which you’ll find above the radiator in the living room) and open the windows in the living room and the bedrooms!
Leave the shutters partially closed
Open the shutters all the way at night to enjoy the cool air, and during the day, leave them almost closed.
How to Use the Ceiling Fan in the Bedroom
There are many fans available. In one of the bedrooms, there’s one hanging from the ceiling. To use it, simply flip the switch on the power strip near the bedroom door.
Please be sure not to leave anything behind and to leave the place clean for the next guests!
– To enter the apartment, use the badge to open the black gate by pressing the small black circle located below the intercom. Climb the few steps to the white gate. Use the badge along with your keys to open the gate by pressing the small black circle next to the intercom.
– Once you’ve passed through the gate, take the first door on the left to Building E, using your badge there as well.
– Take the elevator to the 5th floor.
– The apartment door is on the right as you step out of the elevator. To open it, insert the key into the lock and turn it to the right (a little more than two full turns).
Additional access via Level -1
Across from the elevator, on Level -1, there is an exit. You can also enter the building this way (you still need your badge). Advantage: there are no steps…
Television
On the left: remote control 1. In the middle: remote control 2. On the right: the amplifier is indicated by the green arrow.
To turn on the TV, press the on/off button on remote control 1 (green arrow). This will turn on the screen and the amplifier. Use the buttons marked with the red arrow to navigate through channels and apps; you can adjust the volume using the buttons marked with the blue arrow on remote control 2.
The screen should look like the one on the left. If the screen looks like the one on the right, press the “OK” button on remote control 1 until you reach the screen shown above.
Press the “OK” button on remote control 1 when “Access TV” is highlighted in red to access the TV channels. Use the number keys or the P+ and P- buttons to change channels.
If you have accounts, you can use apps such as Netflix, Prime Video, or Disney+. Don’t forget to log out at the end of your stay.
If the screen does not look like the illustration above:
First, check to see if the amplifier is turned on. If that’s not the case, pick up remote control 2. Press the “Mode” button (blue arrow) until the indicator light under “AMP” turns blue, then use the on/off button located just below it (green arrow).
Next, check to see if the amplifier displays the word “TV.”z If that’s not the case, pick up remote control 2. Press the “Mode” button until the indicator light next to “AMP” turns blue. Then press the 1 key (red arrow). The amplifier will then display “TV,” and the correct images will appear on the screen.
If you see the message above on the screen, pick up remote control 2. Press the “Mode” button (blue arrow) until the indicator light under “TV” turns blue, then press the “OK” button on the remote control.
If you can’t hear any sound, check next to the word “TV” on the amplifier’s display: you should see small white rectangular icons (3 or 5), indicated by the green arrow in the illustration (2). If they are displayed, adjust the volume using the buttons marked in blue on remote control 2. If the icons aren’t displayed, turn the amplifier off and then back on. To do this, take remote control 2, press the “Mode” button until the indicator light next to “AMP” turns blue, and then press the on/off button located just below it twice.
On the left, the amp’s screen with the white rectangular icons. On the right, the amp’s screen without the white rectangular icons.
Living Room Table
You can extend the living room table to eat more comfortably, and use the chairs from the balcony. To do this, lift the tablecloth. You’ll see that there are extension leaves under the main tabletop that you can pull out.
To return the table to its original state, we recommend standing facing the extension leaf, lifting the main tabletop slightly, and pushing the extension leaf with your hips until it is completely tucked away.
Please be sure to fold the table back down before you leave!
Using the sofa bed
If you need an extra place to sleep, you can use the living room sofa as a guest bed. To install it, follow these steps.
First, unfold the sofa by pulling on the bottom part. Pull toward you and upward, and when you reach the end of the range of motion, push downward while continuing to pull toward you.
Between the closet and the radiator in the living room, you’ll find a mattress pad, a comforter, and two pillows. You can also remove the cushions from the sofa (they’re attached with Velcro); then, if you’d like, you can also remove the backrests themselves by sliding them forward. Be careful—they’re a little hard to move.
Please be sure to return the sofa to its normal position before you leave!
The ceiling light
At the entrance to the living room, on the column, the switch on the left is for the ceiling light, and the one on the right is for the fan near the window.
The ceiling light comes with a remote control that lets you adjust the temperature and brightness of the light.
For your electronic devices
There are two chargers available with multiple USB ports for your electronic devices. Please leave these for the next guests!
If you need a (very) fast internet connection, there is also an RJ-45 Ethernet cable available under the library that you can simply plug into your computer.
