Cielo Instructions

Shoes
It would be greatly appreciated if you can wipe your feet on the way into the house and remove your shoes while indoors. Thanks!

***Pool rules***
No glass!!
No wine or colored beverages by the pool.
Please use the acrylic blue water glasses or acrylic clear stemless wine glasses in the bottom draw to the right of the fridge

***Pool controls***
- All the controls are on the wooden pole that you will find when on the pool deck - about 1/3 of the way toward the infinity edge after you walk down the stairs.
- To heat the hot tub, press "SPA" once. You will see a blinking red light which shows that the heat is on. When the light is solid, the SPA will have reached its set temperature of 100F. If you press SPA again it will simply turn off. The SPA is set on a timer for 2 hours. If you want it to continue, just press SPA again.
- For the hot tub jets, please just press Jets. These are also on a 2 hour timer. Just press them again if you want them to continue.
- When the SPA is off, the pool heats automatically with the solar system on the roof. Typically, the pool temperature will stay between 70-80 degrees during the summer depending on the weather.
- The pool is 37,000 gallons and is not heated during the winter. The water temperature is between 45 and 60 degrees during the winter.
- Please do not close the pool cover!

Air Conditioning/Heating
There are two controlling devices - one in the kitchen to control the south wing and one near the master bedroom in the hallway to control the north wing. The units turn off automatically when you are not in the house. The Temperature is pre-set to 67-75, but feel free to change the settings if you like.

Bath Tub
The bath tub is equipped with thermal air. A few minutes after the tub is drained, the jets will turn on to clear water out of the lines.

BBQ
Utensils for BBQ are located in drawers to the left of the sink. Please brush off food particles after use using wire brush provided. There is a gas gauge attached to the propane tanks to see how full they are. In the event you need a spare, they are located in the shed in the front yard near the water tank.

Coffee Machine
Please make sure you are only using one paper filter and change it between each use to avoid overflowing and shorting the machine. Also, please do not put any parts from the coffee machine in the dishwasher.
Mr. coffee machine and nespresso original line available.

Dishwasher
Please do not put any of the Henkel sharp knives in the dishwasher. They should be hand washed.

Fireplace
The fireplace is gas. There is a switch on the wall to the left of the fireplace (when standing in the living room) that looks like a regular light switch. Flick the switch to turn the fireplace on/off.


Internet
Name of network: Cavedale 2917, no password required

Laundry Room & Washer/Dryer
The light switch is the one furthest away from the door in the corner. Please do not wash the sheets or towels with anything of color as they are easily stained. You'll find additional toilet paper, paper towels, outdoor towels, bath towels and sheets here too or in the pantry.

Music
We have a sonos system in the living room and kitchen that you can connect to or plug your iphone/android phone into directly.

Refrigerator
If the doors are not properly closed, you will hear a beeping sound. There is filtered drinking water available from the inside of the fridge on the left side.

Shampoo/Conditioner/Body Soap
In each of the en suite bathrooms, you'll find these in the vanities. In the 3rd full hallway bathroom, these items are located in the laundry room.

Towels
Bath towels, hand towels and wash cloths are in the laundry room.

Trash
Please put your trash in the two secured bins in the shed in the front yard near the water tank. There is a padlock on the shed and the code is 8470. DO NOT leave any trash outside, we have lots of animal life that will get into the bags and it will be very messy! There are extra trash bags in the pantry where the pool towels are stored.

TV/DVD
No TV - this is about getting away and we take it seriously ;-)

Umbrellas
There are two sun umbrellas, one on each deck. Occasionally, the property experiences high winds and the umbrellas should always be left in their closed position and secured with the strap.

Waste Disposal
There is a small silver button (air switch) next to the kitchen faucet. This turns the waste disposal on/off.

Water
We have had our well water tested and it tested better for drinking than SF city water. We have a water filtration system at the rear of the house and it removes the vast majority of the iron from the water. You may still notice some slight discoloration. We drink it regularly. Once a week the system is purged. The time that this occurs varies depending on usage. If you hear any strange gurgling or knocking sounds from the north of the building, it’s most likely the water filtration system purging. Filtered drinking water is available on the inside of the refrigerator on the left side.


Additional Notes
•There are a few large food platters and water pitchers in the glass cabinets facing the dining table.
•The house is on a septic system, please only flush toilet paper.
•If you are planning to be away for most of the day, we suggest pulling down the shades and closing the curtains. This will keep the interior of the house cooler in the summertime.

What to Bring
•Personal toiletries
•iPhone
•Slippers (you'll love having slippers in the house!)
