Power

Before you ask for assistance:

  1. Check the main circuit board, has any circuit breaker been tripped.
  2. Check the circuit breaker. For example, spills on the cooktop may trip the circuit breaker, it does that to protect you. If the circuit breaker is tripped, simply turn it back on. The circuit breaker is located at:
    • Beach Club Cottage – inside the cottage, on the wall next to the bathroom door (see below picture).
