Riepe Tip Sheet

Shower

Pull the shower curtain inside the tub while you are showering to prevent leaks and flooding. To switch the spray from the faucet to the showerhead, pull or turn the small lever attached to the tub spout or pull the temperature control knob.

Disposal

Food waste should go in the trash. If you are cooking with oil or grease, put it in a container and let it harden, then dispose of it in the trash instead of pouring it down the sink, as it will cause a clog.

Properly dispose of trash and recycling using the trash chutes at Graduate on the ground level.

Storage

Use plastic containers to store food and dispose of leftovers quickly to discourage pests.

Do not cover or hang anything from either the sprinkler or smoke detector – this could cause flooding and damage to your room.

Do not lean against windows screens. Be sure the lock is disengaged before you try to close your window.

If you have a double-hung window and need a window screen, contact your Information Center. Submit a work request via AIM if you would like a screen for a casement window (windows with latches and a hinge).

Casement or crank-handle window: to operate the window, you need to fully turn the crank handle before latching the windows, otherwise the window will remain open. Double check that all latches are up before trying to close a window all the way. Similarly, all latches must be open before the window will open. Forcing the hand crank when the latches are closed may break the window.

Double-hung window: this is the traditional window style where the lower pane pushes up to open.

Lead glass window: this uses a latch and crank mechanism.

Please keep your windows closed while the air conditioning is running to prevent moisture in your room.

Find the on/off switch and temperature buttons on your heating and cooling unit. Adjust the amount of air being blown with the Fan Speed icon. Use the up and down arrows to make it warmer or cooler in your room. It may take a few minutes for the unit to kick in – please do not keep it maxed out. We recommend keeping the temperature set at 68-72 degrees

When you raise the temperature set point in heating mode, the unit will run until the room reaches the desired temperature. If the temperature set point is lowered, the system will shut off until the room cools down naturally. The system works the opposite in air conditioning mode.

Seasonal Heating + Air Conditioning

This dual temperature systems will provide heat or air conditioning seasonally. Facilities and Residential Services controls when the system transitions from one to the other.
