It's most likely it is switched off from the fuse switch by accident. Please have a look around in the kitchen on the wall, you will notice switches with stickers underneath them. Make sure your problematic appliance is switched on. And try not to switch them off, as this would cut the power from the appliance.
Although we recommend keeping the fan on, it will switch off automatically about 20 to 30 minutes after you switch off the light. If the noise bothers you, you can turn it off using the switch above the bathroom door.
On your remote, click "Source" and choose "Bob's retro games". Switch the console on, and voila. Please make sure to switch the console off when you’re done to be kind to the environment.

How it works:
All apartments except 4B have a sofa bed suitable for two additional people. 4B has a sofa chair, so it can accommodate one extra person.
No, all our beds are UK King-size and cannot be split into two twins. There is, however, a sofa bed in each apartment in addition to the main bed (or an armchair bed in the case of apartment 4B).
There is a washing machine in every apartment.
