Caring for Your Home

Dining Table

To preserve the surface of your dining table, we advise avoiding overheating of the surface (i.e. placing hot pots/ trays/ dishes directly on the table), and great care should be taken to avoid scratching or marking the table. It is advised that placemats and coasters are used as a barrier between the hot items and the dining table.

Please do not use harsh cleansers. This includes detergents containing alkali, acid, metallic salts and/or other strong substances as they can damage the tables exterior finish.

Balcony tiles (if applicable)

All terraced areas/balconies have been paved with a “pod & paver system”. Pavers are installed on pedestals so that water can drain freely into the spaces between pavers and across to waste drains in the space underneath. There are many benefits to this system including the ability to replace broken, damaged or stained pavers with ease. Pavers are not to be permanently fixed/ adhered to pods. Any alteration to the system will void all warranties.

Should you have any issues with balcony pavers or require the replacement of a paver, please contact The Knight who will contact the appropriate tradesmen to assist.

The area below pavers has been treated with a waterproof membrane. You should inspect and clean the drain outlet periodically to prevent any blocks.

It is important that you DO NOT use acid-based products to clean pavers as this may cause damage to the membrane. Please ensure you take note of where waste points are located and ensure regular maintenance is carried by the removal of leaf litter/dirt to prevent blocking of drains.

Balcony Balustrade Glass

Regular checks to balustrade glass should be carried out to ensure there is no damage to glass panels or fixings.

Do not hang items from balustrade glass at any time or rest items on balustrade capping or rest items against balustrade glass.

Clothes Drying

An Owner or Occupier must not hang or permit to be hung any clothes or other articles including wind chimes on any balconies, windows, stairways or any part of the Common Property or any part of the exterior of the Lot so as to be visible or audible from the outside of the Lot.

Privacy Screens

3mm solid Black Ace Aluminum privacy screens have been installed on certain apartments. Do not hang items from screens or place excess weight on screens at any time. Cleaning should be carried out in line with manufacturer guidelines for powder coated products.

Waterproof Membranes

All tiling to your balcony floors, bathroom floors and shower walls have been laid over a waterproof membrane to ensure drainage of all surface water. It is critical that the waterproof membrane is not scratched, punctured or damaged by any furniture, accessories or works. Waterproof membrane MUST NOT be drilled into under any circumstance as this may cause the membrane to fail and may result in damage to yours or others property. Acid based cleaners should never be used on membrane surfaces.

Heating / Air-conditioning

Each home is equipped with ducted air-conditioner with the condenser located on your external balcony. A remote control is supplied with the system. Refer to the operation manual in the Appendix for instructions of use and maintenance requirements.

Residents should ensure the condenser unit is not covered or used as shelf.

Your residence is fitted with a Fujitsu (Model No. ASTG18KMTC). The serial numbers of the A/C unit fitted in your apartment can be found below:

ASTG12KMTC

ASTG22KMTC

Light Globes

Please ensure that light globes are replaced with those of equal wattage.

Your light fittings are fitted with light globes of an appropriate wattage rating for that fitting. Signage inside the fitting states the maximum rating for that particular fitting.

It is important that the maximum wattage ratings are not exceeded otherwise overheating of the fitting may occur. Light globes are considered to be a consumable item and are not covered under warranty.

Paintwork

It is important to clean painted surfaces occasionally. Avoid using excessive water and never use an abrasive cleaner or scourers.

A wipe over with a damp cloth is usually adequate. Specialised cleaners for removing marks from paintwork are available in most major supermarkets - please ensure you read directions carefully prior to use to avoid damaging paintwork. Exterior paintwork should be washed occasionally.

The finish used in your apartment can be found in the finishes schedule in the attachments section.

Blinds

For maintenance of the blinds, it is recommended that a soft feather duster is used to ensure the blinds are clean of dust. For any marks that may appear on the blinds, a lightly dampened cloth should remove markings. It is strongly advised that the use of any chemical-based products is not used as they may cause discolouration.

PLEASE NOTE: Where blinds are installed by others and installation can be directly attributed to water leaks or damage into the apartment, the OC, the Builder, and Frasers Property Australia are not responsible for subsequent rectification works.

Bathroom and Laundry Fans

The bathroom and laundry in your apartment are mechanically ventilated by an extraction fan mounted in the ceiling space. The exhaust fans serving apartment ensuites and laundries are to be interlocked with the bathroom light and dryer c/w run on timer (adjustable).

Please note that your exhaust system has been fitted with a run-on timer which allows the continued operation of the exhaust fan for 10 minutes after you have turned the switch off.

This will assist with the removal of residual humidity and heat in the room after you have showered, used your clothes dryer etc. and will assist in controlling condensation in your apartment. Please ensure you allow fans to run on as designed. If any of the fan switches are in the on position i.e. bathroom/laundry, the motor will continue to run.

Ensure you clean and remove dust from the air inlet on a regular basis.

Washing Machine connection

We recommend a licenced plumber ensure that washing machine hoses are fitted/ installed correctly. Damage that may occur as a result of a washing machine overflow or incorrect connection of laundry hoses is the responsibility of the home owner.

Condensation

Condensation occurs when the air temperature inside the home is greater than the air temperature outside.

The responsibility for controlling condensation by maintaining adequate natural or mechanical ventilation using openable windows, exhaust fans, or other means, is the responsibility of the owner/occupant.
