FIRE ALARM

Should the Fire Alarm be triggered leave the building immediately. A siren will sound and the speaker system will sound an alert. Fire extinguishers are available on both levels. Call 111 and alert the fire brigade.

In the event that there is a false alarm the system can be silenced by turning off the audible alarm. This can be done by accessing the panel which is located behind the mirror inside the bathroom closest to the front door. There is a small key taped to the top of the panel. Insert the key into the silence slot and turn the alarm to the off position.

Please notify the hall manager ASAP in order that the fault can be rectified by an on-call service company.

AUDIO VIDEO SYSTEM

The CONTROL PANEL is located on the wall on the left side of the quarterdeck. The instructions are detailed below. Connect devices by cable to outlets below the panel or use Apple Airplay where applicable. Cable inputs are HDMI, VGA or RCA.

The control system makes use of Apple Airplay so you are able to stream wirelessly from an Apple device. In the case of Android devices or PC, these must be connected by cable. Alternatively there are apps available for Android devices such as AirSync and DoubleTwist Pro but always check that apps are current since Apple iOS updates can render them useless.

Both the Projector and TV can be used to pick up the Freeview or SKY (see below) signals or can be used to project input from Airplay or the cable inputs below the CONTROL PANEL

If you have any doubts about the compatibility of your equipment please do contact us or arrange to test it prior to your event.

Kitchen

DISHWASHER

This dish rinsing machine is not a domestic washer but designed as a commercial steriliser to final rinse dishware, cutlery and glassware. All items should be rinsed before placing in racks in the machine. Wash liquid is automatically dispensed from a reservoir. The main switch is located above the bench. Cycle 1 = short, 2 = medium and 3 = long wash.

Turn the machine ON well in advance of using. The machine will require at least 30 mins to warm up. To enable the machine to warm up quickly between cycles run the hot water into the sink till hot. This will reduce the amount of cold water in the line.

The machine is designed to start its cycle only if temperature in the main tank (4b) is over 83 degrees.

• press 1 to turn on
• wait until operating temperature is reached (83 degrees on LED 4b). The green dot in lower right corner indicates machine is heating.
• green light 6 will turn on when working temperature is reached. The machine will not start until 83° is reached.
• press 2 repeatedly to select wash cycle as shown by LED 5 [generally level 2 (2 mins) is OK for most purposes]
• press 3 to start (press 3 again to stop early)
• always remove rack as soon as cycle finishes (do not leave machine loaded or running when locking building since power main turns OFF when the building is locked.

If using intermittently the machine will go into power save mode. Either press the ON button to restart or load the machine and press start. Machine will heat to 83° and start automatically.

 

CHILLER

The chiller is on an essential circuit so will remain operational when the building is shut down and alarmed. Check that the chiller switch on the upper wall is ALWAYS ON. If turning off the chiller use only the blue switch on the front of the machine.

 

OVEN and HOTPLATES

To use the oven and hotplates make sure they are turned on at the wall (two large on-off switches).

Hood extractor fan must be turned on – turn on switch underneath light switch and set fan speed on control box next to oven.

The 3 oven controls are self-explanatory and allow control of timer, temperature and steam if required.

To clean oven run for 10 mins at 55° and 100% steam. Let surfaces cool and clean with warm soapy water or appropriate cleaners. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or pads.

 

ZIP WATER HEATER

The master switch for the zip boiling water unit is located above the bench.
