By the time you read this, you’ve hopefully made it into the apartment. To make it easy for you, we have created this guide so that you can start using the apartment and the surrounding facilities.

Contact information

If you need help with something, just send a message primarily through the service where you booked or call if it is urgent. If something is not in the condition we should expect, it is important that you contact us quickly so that we can sort it out.

Fire – IMPORTANT

At the front door there is detailed descriptions how to reset the fire alarm if there is a false alarm. In short, here’s what you are going to do:

• The alarm is reset at the front door by pressing the RED button for 2 sec
• Air out and press GREEN button for 2 sec

The above must be performed within 3 minutes of triggering the alarm. The fire department is called automatically if the alarm is not reset. You must then expect a cost of NOK 5000-10000 for unnecessary call-outs.

WiFi HiFi TV Radio

Wifi password will be provided together with door-codes etc. Internet is high speed fibre network. The TV is connected to the internet and several streaming services are available. The TV-APP “RiksTV” is the service providing most norwegian TV-channels.

A soundbar is connected to the TV. You can play audio from the TV or connect to your mobile via bluetooth to stream music or internet radio. On the soundbar, press the source symbol on the right until “BT pairing” appears in the display. Select “TheView Samsung soundbar” on your phone and you are connected. We also have a DAB+ radio available.

Heating

The heat is remotely controlled via smart home controls and is turned on before you arrive. There should be no need to override this. If the heat is not like you want, set the thermostats to the desired temperature or let us know and we will arrange this remotely.

Fireplace

If you want to light the fireplace, that’s fine. The ventilation system has its own mode for fireplaces that can be used to prevent smoke from coming out of the stove. The ventilation system is located in the large wardrobe. Press the touch display to find the Fireplace mode. Firewood is available from our storage room – check “Services & secrets” for prices and payment.

Kitchen

There are various spices and basic ingredients in the kitchen. You may want to check before you trade in much of this. If supplies you use from the kitchen cabinets are empty during the stay, please buy new and leave it as a nice gesture to other guest and us when we arrive next time. It is a short distance to the store. We appreciate if you use the kitchen fan when cooking. Just pull out the fan and it will start by itself. It’s super easy!

Waste and source separation

We think it is important to sort at source and appreciate if you also do it when you are on Sjusjøen. We sort by paper, glass/metal, plastic, food waste and residual waste. Waste containers are found 100m into Nordseterveien. Find it on Google Maps – click here!

Outdoor furniture

There are chairs, a table and even a sunbed in the storage room on the balcony. It is not allowed to grill on the balcony in the condominium, so we are not equipped with a barbecue

Ski storage

Just outside the entrance there is a locked ski storage room where you can store your skis safely. Skis and bicycles should not enter the apartment. The code is the same as already provided.

Ski preparation room

If you want to prepare your skis, there are two separate waxing-rooms in the underground car park for this. There should be racks there, but iron and wax you have to bring yourself. The closest room is 90 degrees to the left when you come from the apartment and into the underground car park. It’s a black door. Just to the left inside the black door there is a new door. There’s the waxing-room. Please note that the floor may be slippery due to wax and glider. Remember to clean up!
