Apartment instructions
Ventilation and heating
The apartment’s ventilation unit is located on the bathroom ceiling. There is a home-away switch on the side of the unit. Use the away (Poissa) setting if you will be absent from the apartment for an extended period, such as over the weekend. When you are present you should use home (Kotona) setting.
The kitchen hood filters odors with an active carbon filter and recirculates the air into the apartment. Using the kitchen hood enhances the apartment’s ventilation.
The apartment has water-circulating underfloor heating, which can be adjusted separately in the living area and bathroom.
Cleaning and maintenance of wall and floor surfaces
Regular cleaning of the apartment according to the instructions extends the life of materials. Cleaning is also easier when dirt is prevented from becoming embedded.
