Heating 🔥
Each room has its own individual electric Rointe Belize radiator. Touch the display to wake it, then use the + and − buttons to set your desired temperature. Each radiator works independently, so you can adjust each room to your preference. Please turn radiators off or reduce the temperature when leaving the property.
Television 📺
Press the red Power button on the remote to turn the TV on and off. For live TV, press HOME, select Live TV and press OK, then use P+ and P− to change channels. Use VOL+ and VOL− to adjust the volume and MUTE to silence. Press the Netflix button to open Netflix (you will need your own account). For other apps such as YouTube or BBC iPlayer, press HOME and select the app. Please sign out of all personal accounts before checkout. If the remote stops responding, point it directly at the TV within 5 metres, or replace the batteries (2 x AAA).
Hob 🍳
Please note the surface gets very hot during use. Do not touch the glass until the heat indicator light has gone out completely.
To start, hold the Power button for 2 to 3 seconds. Touch the zone you wish to use and set the power level using + and − (1 to 9). As a guide: 1 to 2 for warming, 3 to 4 for simmering, 5 to 6 for cooking, 7 to 8 for fast frying, and 9 for a rapid boil. To turn off, hold the Power button for 2 to 3 seconds. Always use flat-bottomed pans and never drag them across the surface.
