Pest Control
Getting to know your vacation home
Florida has a sub-tropical climate and care must be taken with food that is left uncovered.
Uncovered food can attract insects very quickly. In the unlikely event you should discover any quantity of ants, palmetto bugs or other unwelcome guests, please contact Cosy Casas to schedule a service call.
Dishwasher
Please only use dishwasher detergent in the dishwasher. Any other soap products including the normal liquid dish soap will overflow the dishwasher. Please make sure all excess food is removed from plates, bowls, pans, etc. The dishwasher will not operate if the door is not properly closed.
Do not place wooden, plastic or non-stick pans in the dishwasher unless they are clearly marked as “dishwasher safe “.
Stove
To use the required burner, push in the knob and turn it to the desired temperature. To use the oven, select “bake”, with activates the bottom element and select the desired temperature. For safety, ensure that no pan handles are facing outward and remove all items, once cooled, from the top of the stove when no longer in use.
Microwave
There is a microwave unit in the kitchen. Please insert microwave-safe food and crockery only and check that the time you selected is correct for the cooking you are doing. Sealed containers and eggs in their shells can explode if cooked in a microwave. DO NOT place any metal trays, foil or utensils in the microwave as this can cause fire.
Plumbing
To enjoy the most of your vacation experience, nobody wants to call a plumber. Please only flush toilet paper and place other disposable items (diapers, baby wipes, sanitary napkins, etc) in the waste bin. If you have a clogged toilet or sink and are unable to remedy the situation with the provided plungers, let us know and we will assist or call a plumber. Any service housecalls may result in an additional charge.
Smoke Detector
Should the smoke detector sound due to burning toast or as result of cooking on the stove and you are confident there is no cause for alarm, open all windows and doors and try to fan the smoke out. Please do not disconnect the batteries in the smoke alarms.
