Washer/Dryer Hookups
For your convenience, there are washer/dryer hook-ups in every home with the exception of Studio apartments. The dryer outlet available is for an electric dryer. Please make sure that your washer and dryer are hooked up properly before you use them. If your dryer does not have a four prong dryer cord, a conversion kit is available at most appliance stores.
If you need assistance, please feel free to contact the membership office.
Washer and dryer rentals are available for your convenience. Please contact the membership office for further information.
Refrigerator
To keep the interior of your refrigerator smelling fresh, clean with a baking soda and water solution. The exterior can easily be cleaned with a simple window cleaner.
Dishwasher
Food particles left on spoiled dishes may jam the dishwasher. Make certain dishes are scraped and rinsed under running water prior to placing the dishes in the racks. Please do not overload your dishwasher and be sure to use detergents made for automatic dishwashers.
Icemaker
To turn the icemaker on, make sure the metal bar is pushed down. To turn the icemaker off, release the metal bar to the upward position.
Disposal
Always turn on the cold water before starting your disposal and feed waste in slowly. To keep your disposal in good working order, do not put metal, glass, plastic, grease, paper, cigarettes, bones, banana peels, oyster or clam shells, celery, corn husks, etc. in your disposal. A good rule of thumb is if you can't chew it, neither can your disposal. If your disposal stops, check the reset button on the bottom of your disposal. If it does not restart, please contact the office and the maintenance team will make the appropriate repairs.
Water Supply
If there are any pipes leaking water, faucets leaking or toilet tanks continually running, please report it to the membership office.
If the temperatures are below 25°, please do the following to prevent your pipes from freezing: turn on faucet to allow a slow continuous drip, leave vanity and kitchen sink cabinets open and keep the apartment thermostat set at no less than 65°.
Commodes
The sewer system is adequate to handle all normal drainage, however, the following items will result in damage: do not flush paper towels, facial tissue, disposable diapers, sanitary napkins(disposable Tampax® are not disposable in the commode and much sewer damage is caused by them). Should the commode overflow, turn off the water supply to the tank by turning the handle located under the tank, and contact the membership office.
Air Conditioning and Heating
An individual thermostat controls each apartment. To ensure comfort and conserve energy, the thermostat should be set at one temperature and left there. HVAC filters will be replaced annually or upon your request. Return air grills should be kept clear of furniture, boxes, clothing, etc, as this would interfere with the delivery of air to your apartment and will impair the cooling and heating performance.
