The router is in the living room, behind the TV. If it drops, unplug it, count to 30 and plug it back in.
How the house works
Fans
The house has no air conditioning: it cools down with fans and with the breeze off the lagoon, which usually picks up late afternoon.
The trick is to open windows on opposite sides and point the fan outwards rather than inwards — it pulls the breeze through and changes the air in the whole room.
On hotter days, close the curtains on the sunny side in the morning.
Shower
The temperature switch is behind the bathroom door. Verão = warm, Inverno = hot. Only switch with the water off.
Stove and oven
The gas valve is in the laundry area, behind the door. Open it before cooking and close it when you leave.
TV and streaming
Use the black remote, source HDMI 1. Feel free to log into your own Netflix — just log out before check-out.
Washing machine
The machine will not start empty. It has a weight sensor and needs laundry inside — if you pressed start and nothing happened, that is why, not a fault.
The Quick programme handles beach clothes in 40 minutes. Detergent is in the cupboard above the machine.
Hang things on the outdoor line: they dry in an afternoon.
Barbecue
Charcoal is not provided — you can buy it at the downtown supermarket. Grill and skewers are in the outdoor cabinet.
Gate
The gate remote hangs next to the front door. Do not take it to the beach. If the power fails, pull the yellow lever on the motor to open manually.
