Small traces of its history

Electricity and smoke alarm.

Avoid a high combined electrical load in the kitchen.

Do not use the microwave, kettle and cooker at the same time. This may overload the electrical system.

Close the door before opening the oven.

Close the door to the second hallway, where the stairs go up. Otherwise, the smoke alarm may react when the oven is opened.

Charging an electric vehicle from any ordinary socket in the house is not permitted.

Please help us look after the house.

Painted tiles

The kitchen tiles are painted. Clean them only with a soft cloth or the soft side of a kitchen sponge. Do not use scouring products or the rough side of the sponge.

Sort the waste

Separate cardboard, plastic, paper, glass and metal. The recycling station is close to the local shop. Put residual waste in the bin by the gate.

Do not disturb. Do not destroy.

Sweden’s Right of Public Access allows you to hike, cycle, paddle and pick berries or mushrooms. Respect private gardens and cultivated land, take all litter with you and always check whether a fire ban is in force.

Dogs must always be kept under control. Between 1 March and 20 August, they may not run loose in nature and in practice will almost always need to be on a lead.
