Keys and locks

Your studio apartment cannot be locked from the outside without the use of your key. This is to ensure you can’t lock your keys inside. Remember to always lock your door when you leave your room. You can lock your door from the inside of your studio to ensure your safety and security. The lock will open when you pull the door handle.

Power to your studio

For power in your studio apartment, please place your key into the master lock. You will find this lock on the inside wall as you enter your studio.

Fan

You have a ceiling fan to circulate the air and help keep the room cooler in summer. The switch for the fan is as shown here.

Heaters

You have a hydronic heater which will operate only when the outside temperature is below 21°C. Turn the dial on the side of the heater to control temperature when in operation.

Microwave
