WAA-nderful notes and reminders to make living here a little smoother. --- ### Emergency Info * **Main Water Shut-Off:** The main valve to shut off all water to the condo is the **red handle** located in the basement closet at the bottom of the stairs. * **Circuit Breaker Box:** The breaker box is located in the medicine cabinet at the top of the stairs leading to the basement. Everything is labeled ### Plumbing * **Kitchen Sink:** The garbage disposal is very powerful, but it's happiest with lots of cold water running when you use it. ### Appliances * **Washer:** Use Afresh washing machine cleaner once a month and run the self clean cycle. This will prevent your clothes from being damaged. * **Dryer:** Please remember to clean the lint trap after every single load! It helps the clothes dry much faster and is safer. I would recommend putting a can there for the lint at some point. * **Dishwasher:** To run the dishwasher, wedge a detergent pod in the prewash pocket on the inside of the door. It should stick there until well into the wash and dissolve. Never dishwash the Calphalon pots or pans. It destroys the coating. The non stick pans or anything else can be dishwashed. Never ever wash the Zwilling Knives. Always hand wash and dry. Don't let them stay wet. They will last a lifetime. I recommend eventually getting a wet stone and a blade honer to properly maintain their edges. Don't dishwash the wooden utensils or the wooden cutting board. ### Outdoor & Seasonal * **Trash & Recycling:** Here is the calendar for trash and recycle pickup. We are route 8. https://www.southhadley.org/1455/Curbside-Collection-Calendar
