Specials wash cycles
Sport Intensive (wash cycle 8) is for washing lightly soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the “Table of wash cycles”. We recommend using a liquid detergent and dosage suitable for a half-load.
Sport Light (wash cycle 9) is for washing lightly soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the “Table of wash cycles”. We recommend using a liquid detergent and dosage suitable for a half-load.
Sport Shoes (wash cycle 10) is for washing sports shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs simultaneously.
Express Wash & Dry (wash cycle 13) was designed to wash and dry lightly soiled garments quickly. This cycle may be used to wash and dry a laundry load of up to 0.5 kg in just 35 minutes.
To achieve optimum results, use liquid detergent and pre-treat cuffs, collars and stains.
Personalisation
Setting the temperature - Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Table of wash cycles). The temperature may be lowered, or even set to a cold wash. The washer-dryer will automatically prevent you from selecting a temperature which is higher than the maximum value set for each wash cycle.
Setting the drying cycle - Turn the DRYING knob to select the desired drying option. There are two options:
- Based on time: From 40 minutes to 180.
- Based on the desired laundry dryness level:
- Iron dry: suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards. the remaining dampness softens creases, making them easier to remove.
- Hanger dry: ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully.
- Cupboard dry suitable for laundry which can be put back in a cupboard without being ironed.
If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater than the maximum stated load (see adjacent table), perform the wash cycle, and when the cycle is complete, divide the garments into groups and put some of them back in the drum. At this point, follow the instructions provided for a “Drying only” cycle. Repeat this procedure for the remainder of the load.
Table of Drying times (guideline values)
| Fabric type | Load type | Max. load (kg) | Cupboard dry | Hanger dry | Iron dry |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | Clothing of different sizes, Terry towels | 5 | 180 | 170 | 140 |
| Synthetics | Sheets, Shirts, Pyjamas, socks, etc. | 3 | 140 | 120 | 100 |
Drying only
Use the cycle selector knob to select a drying cycle (11-12-13) in accordance with the type of fabric. The desired drying level or time may also be set using the DRYING knob.
Functions
The various wash functions available with this washer-dryer will help to achieve the desired results, every time. To activate the functions:
- Press the button corresponding to the desired function;
- the function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated.
Note: If the indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this particular function may not be selected in conjunction with the selected wash cycle.
Eco Time - Selecting this option enables you to suitably adjust drum rotation, temperature and water to a reduced load of lightly soiled cotton and synthetic fabrics (refer to the “Table of wash cycles”). Eco Time enables you to wash in less time thereby saving water and electricity. We suggest using a liquid detergent suitably measured out to the load quantity.

10 - EV Charger
The EV charger is a Sevadis Maxicharger - 7.4kW, Type 2. It is untethered, so you will need to have your own cable.
The EV Charger is located on the workshop wall in the yard. Services for it are provided via Monta. In order to use the charger you must register on their website (https://monta.com ) and install the Monta app.
Once registered you should request a join code from the property owners via email or text. You should have already received a message from Clare or Roger, so you should be able to contact them. If you have requested EV Charger access as part of your booking, you should receive the join code as part of your welcome email from Clare and Roger (which is separate to the emails you receive from the booking company).
Please follow the guide here in order to use the join code - https://monta.com/uk/help-center/join-a-team-using-a-code-app/ . You should be automatically accepted into the Ty’r Celyn team and have access to the charger.
To start a charge please follow this guide - https://monta.com/uk/help-center/start-charge-team-charge-point-app/ .
We have tried to keep the charge as low as possible to cover our electricity costs and the charges for the Monta service.
If you have any queries, please reach out to us or alternatively if you are having problems with the app you can ask for assistance using the Support options in the Me menu of the app.

- Use the Monta app to initiate a charging session
Note - Ensure your EV is charging. The charging LED on the charger should be flashing green. If you suspect the vehicle is not charging properly, try reconnecting the charge cable or contact the local dealer for support.
Stop Charging
Note - If you disconnect the EV charge cable during the charge session, the charger automatically disconnects the power supply. This stops all charging operations.
- To stop charging, you can choose either of the following two ways:
- Wait for the charge session to end and no further actions are required in the case of scheduled charging or plug-and-charge.
- The charging LED will light solid green.
- The Charge app displays that your vehicle is fully charged.

11 - Fire Alarm
The fire alarm system installed throughout the cottage is and Aico 3000 series alarm system. It provides smoke and heat alarms for fire detection as well as a CO alarm in the utility room. In the event of an alarm, all sirens will sound.
When the alarm system sounds
If there is a fire, immediately evacuate the premises and telephone the fire brigade.
If the source of the alarm is not obvious and only if safe to do so, go to the Alarm Controller and check to see which indicator is illuminated, Fire or CO.
If the CO indicator is illuminated, open doors and windows while evacuating the premises. Contact the appropriate authorities to report the incident.
Locate the source Alarm
If the FIRE indicator is illuminated and there is no obvious fire, press the button. The LOCATE segment will change from red to blue.
After a 10 to 40 seconds period, all the Alarms in the system will stop sounding except the source Alarm(s).
Silence the source Alarm
If you are satisfied there is no fire but the Smoke/ Heat Alarm is still continuing to alarm you may now silence the system. Wait until the SILENCE segment is flashing red and then press the button. The SILENCE segment will turn blue, after a delay the Alarm(s) will stop sounding and all segments on the controller will flash green momentarily to indicate that the Alarm Controller is back in standby.
For safety reasons, it is not possible to silence CO events remotely.
