Thank you and... have a nice holiday! OUTDOOR - Gate opener and keys The gate opening is motorized: it will start by pressing one of the two buttons on the remote control. The gate will automatically close in one minute. To open the gate If the remote control of the gate would not work (for example, because it has no more charge in batteries), one of the two little keys will open it electrically (insert the key in the keyhole on the pillar on the left side of the gate and turn it of half tour). It is also possible to open the gate using the keyboard on the pillar beside the gate (both inside and outside). Type the numerical code and press Enter (“E” key) If the gate cannot open because of power failure, you can always open it manually. Use the other little key: insert it down in the center of the blocking device of the gate and turn it to unjam the lock, then push the doors of the gate. 2 Boiler If there is no hot water or the ra- diators are cool, the boiler could be blocked. This is how you have to unjam it. 1 2 3 4 Boilers are outside, down the stairs behind the house. You can get there also from insi- de the house by going out from the back entrance. 1 Behind the door number 1, there is the apartment’s boiler (it has the label “ViP Panorama”) 3 The most possible cause is a fall of water pressure in the system. In this case you only need to press the button “Refill” to start the automatic refill. It could also be necessary to push to restart the boiler. In most cases, these two actions resolve the problem. If the problem keep going on, please contact one of the staff members of Villa il Poggiolo (they are listed in the last page of this brochure), who will call in a technician as quickly as possible. General electrical panel Behind the door “4” there is the electrical panel with the master switch of each apartment, of the external lighting, of the pump for water pressure in the house, of the cable TV and satellite system, etc. In case of blackout in one of these areas, it would be necessary to check this panel and to lift up the correspon- ding lever. 4 THERMOSTAT FOR HEATING SYSTEM The thermostat is in the house, between the batroom’s door and the closet room door. During the summer, please turn the knob to 0 °C. Turn the knob to the desired temperature. AIR-CONDITIONER The air conditioners can be used as heating in winter and as air conditioning in summer. Set the temperature with the “TEMP” arrows on the remote control, then press the red button to turn it on. 5 ELECTRICAL PANEL If there would be power failure in some rooms or to some household appliance, go to the electrical panel, which is located behind the entrance door. Find the blown circuit breaker and lift the lever. Under each lever there is a label with the corresponding name.

If there is a lack of spar- kling aid, open the cap and pour the liquid until the tub is completely filled (a refill of sparkling aid takes many weeks).

Convertible sofas In the living room there are two sofas. These sofas can be used as two single beds. Under each sofa there is a second sprung bed base that can be pulled out and become a single bed. In this way, there are at most 4 beds in the living room. That reduces the free space a lot in the room. Pull out the sprung bed base. Angle it obliquely to unlock the lifting feet and the handle. Attention: the sprung bed base springs up because there are springs. X The handle springs up in vertical position.
