All are simply controlled with up arrow for warmer, down for cooler. Shower: The shower has its issues! It tends to leak from the door if water is aimed in its direction and the glass gets water stains if left wet. Please squeegee the shower after each use to keep the glass looking clear and please use the spare old towel in the cabinet to catch any water that may leave through the door. Please do not place any towels or bathmats on the glass doors as this can warp the glass. The glass walls are unsupported and not weight bearing, so please do not lean on them.
