How to use Alexa

Alexa is a great addition to our Trópico Smart apartment. The multiple Echo devices across the apartment will help you play music, set alarms, answer questions, travel destinations within your current location, find nearby restaurants, nightlife, and more. Just say, "Alexa."

Sample Commands

Say "Alexa, play music on 'Party Time'" and it will play music in the kitchen and living room.
Say "Alexa, play music on 'everywhere'" and it will play music in the entire apartment.
Say "Alexa, what's the weather this afternoon" and it will let you know the temperature, likelihood of rain, and more.
Say "Alexa, restaurants in Santo Domingo" and it will help you find restaurants.

There's a singular light switch with a red light in the hallway near the closet. Switch it on first. You will know it's on when the red light is on.

Feel free to download the apps you need, such as YouTube, Netflix, HBO, Peacock, and others. Use your own accounts to log in.

Don't worry, the system will erase all your information and restart the TV on your checkout date.

Let the system know when you are checking in and checking out. This allows the system to erase your information on your checkout date.

How to use the dishwasher

Step 1: Ensure you get clean dishes every time by scraping any extra food off the plates before loading and evenly spacing dishes with the dirty side angled toward the water jets. Don't overlap your dishes.

Step 2: Place one of the detergent pods we provided in the detergent dispenser. Close the lid and press firmly until it clicks shut. After the dishwasher completes an initial pre-wash cycle, the dispenser lid will open to mix the detergent with the water.

Step 3: Choose one of the following cycles:

Quick: This cycle typically uses more water, energy, and a higher temperature for fast results. Use this cycle when you have lightly soiled dishes you need cleaned quickly.
Normal: The most commonly used dishwasher cycle cleans everyday messes without using extra water. You can use this cycle on day-to-day loads that are not heavily soiled.
Heavy Duty: The Heavy Duty Cycle will typically use extra water and higher temperatures to clean your cookware for loads that include pots and pans or other heavily soiled items.

Step 4: Press Start and close the door. Do not re-open until it's done.
