Check the house manual or cabin instructions first, and see common troubleshooting tips below.

EMERGENCY CONTACTS
For life-threatening illnesses or emergencies requiring police, fire department, or ambulance, call 112.
For non-life-threatening medical advice, contact 1177 (Swedish healthcare advice) 24/7 or visit www.1177.se.

HOME AND CAR EMERGENCY KIT
In the parking lot at Karin’s Sport Shop, between the loading dock and the ski rental entrance, there is a garden cabinet with extra bed linens, tools, a tow rope, and jumper cables available for 24/7 rental. Pick up and return items directly from the cabinet. Payment can be made at Karin’s Sport Shop during opening hours.

SMOKE DETECTORS
Check that all smoke detectors are working upon arrival. Replace batteries if needed and take note of fire extinguishers and emergency exits.

POWER OUTAGES
Check Härjeåns power outage map: https://avbrottskarta.harjeans.se/ If there is no outage, check the cabin’s fuses and replace if necessary. Also check the main fuse in the electrical cabinet on the exterior wall around the corner – it may trip due to overload, e.g., when using the stove, dishwasher, drying cabinet, sauna, or EV charger simultaneously.

FUSES, BATTERIES, AND LIGHT BULBS
Replace fuses, batteries, and light bulbs as needed. They are often stored in the cleaning closet or storage room, and can be purchased locally at stores such as ICA if missing.

REMOTE CONTROLS
Replace batteries as needed. Samsung remotes can be charged via the solar panel on the back (place face down), while Apple TV remotes are charged with a phone charger or can be controlled via a mobile device.

DOOR CODE AND LOCK (Yale Doorman)
If the battery is dead, you can temporarily power the lock by holding a 9-volt battery against the terminals on the outside to unlock, then replace the batteries. Some doors also require lifting the handle upwards to lock.

HEATING
Keep the wall thermostat at at least 20 °C in winter and replace batteries if needed. Make sure all heating sources are on – air source heat pump, radiator, and underfloor heating. If there are problems, try restarting and search online for the brand, model, and error code for instructions, e.g., filter cleaning. Never turn off the heating completely – maintain at least 15 °C as a minimum if nothing else is specified.

WATER AND HOT WATER
If there is no water, turn on the incoming water via the lever/valve at the toilet, water heater, or under the sink. In winter, the heating cable for incoming water should be on. Ensure the water heater is running and increase the temperature if needed. Condensation from the heater may look like a leak but is usually normal. Hot water may run out if many people shower – wait a few hours for it to refill.

UNINVITED GUESTS
Forest mice may occasionally enter when food outside is scarce. Store candles in drawers and food in sealed containers. If there is nothing to eat, they usually move on. They are harmless, though some may find them unpleasant. Some cabins have mouse traps that can be baited – empty them before departure.

WASTE HANDLING
Food waste should be disposed of in brown paper bags (available in the cabin or can be collected at ICA Nära). Household waste should be placed in regular garbage bags and thrown into the area’s trash bins or containers. Recycling of metal, glass, plastic, and paper should be taken to the same waste station or to the recycling station behind ICA Nära. Bulky waste and hazardous waste should be taken to the recycling center. More information is available at www.vattenmiljoresurs.se.

SNOW REMOVAL
Roads and driveways are plowed by a contracted service provider when snowfall reaches a certain level. As a guest, you are responsible for shoveling snow immediately outside the accommodation. Sand if necessary – sand is available in the area’s sandboxes or behind the fire station below the Snowmobile House. Problems with closing the door are often caused by ice or snow at the threshold.
