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

Windows

This picture shows the locking mechanism of the windows in your apartment. Turning the handle will enable you to open your window. The window will tilt vertically towards you when opened. To close the window, you need to push the window opening section to the closed position and then turn the handle to the locked position. The keyed lock in the handle is for maintenance use only which allows the window to be opened using the side hung hinges.

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.

Microwave

When using your microwave, please refer to your user-guide located in the large drawer under your microwave. If you require another user-guide please speak with staff at the Administration Office. If your microwave has no power, please check the cupboard under your sink and make sure the microwave is plugged in and switched on.

Clothes line

When first using the clothes line in your studio, you will need to pull the cord across to the opposite wall and connect it to the existing hook insert. If you find it gets stuck twist the silver brace and it will release the cord

Bin area

On each floor, there is a waste station cupboard in the communal kitchen containing the large waste bins. You will locate the cupboard adjacent to the lifts and opposite the kitchen island bench. Please be respectful of this area and place your rubbish in the correct bins. You will find your co-mingled recycling bin the the Bike Store on Level 1. Please ensure only compliant waste is put into this bin.
