Living Area

CLIMATE CONTROL

For your convenience, a Nest Thermostat is installed in the hallway.  Simply turn the dial clockwise to increase the temperature (max 84 degrees) and counter-clockwise to decrease the temperature (min 72 degrees) in the home.  It will display the target temperature as you turn the dial.

TV AND REMOTE CONTROLS

All of the TCL TVs in the house are Roku streaming equipped.  They are very straightforward and easy to use.  Instead of needing a cable box, the Comcast Xfinity cable channels are streamed over the internet.  Once the TV is on, simply choose the Xfinity channel/app on the Roku Home menu to open the cable channels.

Roku also offers 100’s of other streaming channels, such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Vudu, and so many more.  If you have accounts with any of these services, please feel free to sign in and use them.  Please do not forget to log out of your accounts (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime) before you leave, so that future guests cannot access your accounts.

If you are not familiar with Roku devices and would like a very short introduction, there is an “Intro Video” on the Roku Home page that gives a brief two minute overview of the features.

FIREPLACE

The living room features a stone mantel with a built-in fireplace.  In addition to using the remote control, there are buttons on the top right of the fireplace.  Simply press the power button to turn the fireplace on or off.  In normal operation mode, the fireplace does not actually generate any heat.  Should you want it to heat the room, you can easily turn the heat on using the remote as well.

PULL-OUT SOFA

A pull-out queen memory foam bed is available in the sofa.  Remove all couch cushions and pillows. Look for handle on bed frame and pull up and towards you to unfold.  Sheets are on the mattress and extra pillows are located in the bedroom closets.
