You are now experiencing one of the most exciting, challenging and fun phases of
your life: being a student! There is nothing like being a student: no longer a child, not

to do what you hope and dream to do.
Here at Festival’s Edge, we hope to make your stay with us as memorable as possible
and to set you on your path to make those dreams come true. I am the Student Life
Coordinator responsible for the Student Life programme in Festival’s Edge and I hope
that you would find a spot in our programme where you can flourish.
Along with your Student Life Manager and the Student Life Intern team, we focus on
running a programme that will help you experience a ‘home away from home’, make
new friends, have fun, excel academically and develop yourself in all spheres of life.
Our programme aims to create a space where any and every student can become part
of a fun, inclusive and developing community.
There will be socials, sports, cultural events, academic workshops and tips, wellbeing
support, clubs to join, opportunities to serve the greater community, workshops to
prepare you for your life after graduation and so much more. To make the most of
your student life experience make sure you join in the fun. You have nothing to lose
and so much to gain!
As part of the Student Life team, we hope to make your stay with us one of the best

Microwave
# Tip 1 – use microwave-safe containers (some plastic containers can melt
# Tip 2 – do not use metal spoons, pans or aluminium or foil – NEVER EVER
# Tip 3 – avoid super-heated water that is heated beyond its boiling point as
this can cause the water to explode and cause burning or scalding of skin. If
using the microwave to make coffee – add the coffee, sugar and creamer
before boiling as this reduces the risk of hot water erupting. Do not add
creamer or sugar to clear water just heated in the microwave.
# Tip 4 – check for leakage – do not use a microwave if the door seal, hinges
etc. aren’t closing properly.
# Tip 5 – keep the microwave clean by cleaning any spillage after use.
# Tip 6 – Leave microwave door open after use, to allow excess steam to
escape. This will prolong the lifespan of your microwave reducing rust.

If the microwave is damaged as a result of misuse you will be held

responsible for the cost of repair or replacement
 Stove care
INSTRUCTIONS

1. Scrape dirt and food away.

This can be done with a metal scraper (avoid any other materials that might
melt or catch fire). Make sure the blade is not broken or chipped and remains
in place while pressure is applied. This will help ensure you don’t scratch the
surface. It is best to do this when the surface is still a bit warm, especially if
sugar, plastic, or acidic foods/materials have fallen on the stovetop.

2. Spray or drop a few drops of your solution directly onto the cooktop.

Once the stove has cooled, you will then want to use a ceramic or glass
cooktop cleaner. White vinegar will also help clear any water spots from the
surface. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring agents, as these will harm
the cooktop instead of clean it. These include (but are not limited to) chlorine
bleach cleaners or other bathroom products, dishwashing agents, powdery
cleaners and caustic cleaners.

3. Wipe down the glass-ceramic surface

Use a damp, microfiber/soft cloth or paper towel to wipe the solution and
clean the surface. You will then want to use a clean cloth to dry the cooktop
off. Do not use metal or foil pads or abrasive scrub sponges to wipe down.

Important Notes:

Check the type of ceramic /glass the manufacturer of your induction cooktop
uses and use the recommended solutions to clean.

Never use excessive pressure or force when cooking or cleaning to avoid

blemishes and scratches.
