Getting to know your home

Main power switch

Distribution boards and safety switches including the main power switch can be found above the fridge in the kitchen cupboards.

Master light switch

The master light switch can be found at the entry to your apartment. It's a handy way to switch all your lights on and off. Ensure to turn the master light switch on when you're home for all the lights to work. This doesn't affect the air conditioning system.

Isolating water/hot water

If you need to turn off the water supply to your apartment, always contact the Building Manager (unless there is an emergency). The isolation valves are located in the cupboards in the common hallway on each level. Here, you will also find the water meters and water isolation for your apartment, and below that is the hot water meter. If you ever need to isolate the water to your apartment, simply turn the tap a quarter turn to the left.

Isolating water to toilets and taps

Under the kitchen sink and laundry tub, you will find the water isolations. These are installed so you have the option of switching off water, both hot and cold, to individual taps through the apartment. Inside the toilet cistern there is also an isolation. You can lift the lid to the cistern to locate this. This will isolate water only to the toilet.

Complete automatic fire detection, occupant warning and automatic fire sprinkler system has been installed throughout the building. The smoke detectors and sprinklers are linked to a Fire Indicator Panel (FIP) located in the main control room. Detection of fire by the sprinklers or smoke by detectors within the common areas, lift lobbies, plant rooms and electrical switch rooms shall place the building in Fire Alarm Mode. An occupant warning speaker is located within each apartment and will activate upon alarm from the common areas. All apartments are protected by automatic fire sprinklers.

Throughout the building you will find other equipment such as Warden Intercom Points (WIP), White Break Glass Alarms and portable fire extinguishers.

Each apartment is fitted with hard wired smoke detectors to meet the current codes. The detectors each contain a battery backup in case of power failure. Batteries are replaceable and are required to be changed when not operating. It is recommended to replace batteries annually.

Air filters

Air conditioning systems in your apartment have filters integrated into the ceiling. To access this filter, simply turn the white screw and the panel will drop down so you can access the filter to clean. It is recommended to clean these air filters every 3 months to ensure they are free of dust, dirt and debris.

Fresh air fan

Some apartments have a separate fresh air circulation fan that is separate to the air conditioning. This is switched on or off using a wall switch, which is located near the living room light switches. The fan will turn on and bring fresh air into your apartment from outside when the switch is turned on.

Your apartment is fitted with an electric induction cooktop. To use it, turn on the power isolation switch located in the powerpoint behind the cooktop, marked as 'hob'. Then, you can select the preferred cooking zone and temperature using the touch screen. Please note, not all pots and pans are suitable for induction cooktops. The cooktop screen will continue to flash if the pan is unsuitable.

There is one exhaust fan that services both the bathrooms and laundry.

Any of the light switches in the bathrooms and laundry will activate the fan.

The fan will continue to run after the lights are turned off and is designed to turn off automatically after 10 minutes. This is to help reduce moisture from these locations to assist with preventing mould.

This fan will still operate if you turn off the lights at the master switch. To avoid this ensure bathroom, laundry lights and appliances have been turned off before using the master switch.

Note: If the dryer/washer is on, the laundry exhaust fan will stay on until the cycle is completed.  It will continue to run for 10 minutes after the cycle has finished to ensure all condensation has been removed.

If you are still hearing a fan operate after you have switched of the master light switch:

1. Check that all the bathroom and laundry light switches are off and wait for the run-on timer to end (about 10 minutes).
2. Check that the fresh air fan is switched off.
3. Should you choose to adjust the run-on timer, please consult a suitably qualified technician.

The video intercom has an access control security system for visitor access into Level 1 and Lower Ground lobbies, lifts, and car park. For full instructions, please refer to the manufacturer’s manual.

When connecting the water supply for your washing machine, you will need to access the area underneath your laundry tub. Here you will find the hot and cold water supplies. Your hoses can be passed through the side wall of the tub.

Under the laundry tub you will find the air conditioning tundish, which serves as an air gap and provides an inspection window to check for water leaks. Tundishes should be checked regularly to ensure proper operation.
