Positioning
The TF1800 Bathroom Fan Heater is designed to be mounted on the wall in the vertical position. The
Heater has a double insulation electrical circuit (class II) and therefore does not require an earth
connection.
The TF1800 has an IP rating of IPX4 which means it can be used in bathrooms and areas subject to
humidity as long as it is not installed within the perimeter of baths and showers. The Heater can be
installed in Zones 2 and 3.
When choosing where to position your TF1800 Fan Heater remember that it has a presence sensor and
make sure it is positioned in the best place to detect movement. The sensor works more effectively
when people move in front of the unit rather than walking towards the unit.
We recommend that the TF1800 Bathroom Heater is installed a minimum of 50cm from the roof and
60cm from the floor and 15cm from walls and other objects.
Installation
Drill two 6mm diameter holes in the wall 220mm apart where you want the top of the unit to be
positioned. Drill one 6mm diameter hole 342mm below in
the center of the two top holes. Insert the three wall plugs
supplied with the unit.
Insert the two upper screws, ensuring that you leave a
distance of 8mm sticking out from the wall which will allow
the unit to hang on.
Line up the holes on the back of the unit with the two screws
and hang the unit up. CAUTION before letting go of the unit
ensure that it is secure on the two screws.
Finally, secure base of the unit of the unit to the wall with
the screw provided. Plug your Fan Heater into a power point.

Understanding Your TF1800 Fan Heater
Filter:
The TF1800 is fitted with a filter to protect the heating elements from dust and dirt. The filter is
removable for easy cleaning and maintenance and can be accessed from the right side of the unit. To
keep the unit in perfect condition we recommend that the filter is cleaned at least every six months.
Towel Rail:
The TF1800 is fitted with an integrated towel rail and four hooks on the back of the rail. The towels
must be hung over the rails and not folded up, to prevent the unit from overheating.
Controls & Functions:
The TF1800 Bathroom Fan Heater is fitted with an ON/OFF switch on the left hand side of the unit.
The front controls are all touchscreen and allow you to change and set the desired temperatures as
well as programming the unit to suit your lifestyle.

The TF1800 Bathroom Fan Heater features a presence sensor and an automatic power
management function.
The presence sensor allows a reduced energy consumption, lowering automatically the ambient
temperature when no one is detected in the room, while it comes back to the set comfort
temperature, maintaining it while movement is detected in the room. The operation of the
presence sensor cannot be disabled.
The automatic electronic power selection, instead, manages the consumption through an accurate
and comfortable regulation in order to automatically keep constant the selected temperature,
according to what has previously been set on the electronic thermostat.

ON/OFF
The TF1800 Bathroom Fan Heater has two modes that you can use to program your heater.
Automatic Mode
The TF1800 is set to work at a comfort temperature whenever someone is detected in the room.
Should no one be detected in the room for 10 minutes, the heater will automatically go into the
Eco mode (3.5°C less than the set Comfort temperature). Should no one be detected in the room
for more than 36 hours, the heater will automatically go into the Frost Free Mode (7°C). If
someone is detected in the room again for more than 2 minutes, the TF1800 will automatically
increase the temperature to the comfort level.
Programmed Mode
The product can be programmed to come on when you want it every day of the week and you can
set the desired temperature you wish the unit to reached/maintained, choosing between Comfort,
Eco or Frost free.
In programmed mode the presence detector and the open window detection functions
are disabled so that the product can correctly follow the temperature profile defined by
the user.
LED Colours
There are 3 different led lights on the TF1800 Bathroom Fan Heater
LED light under the Frost Free button: The LED is red when the frost free mode is activated. It
is switched off when the frost free mode is disabled. The Light will flash when the Frost free
mode was activated by the open window detection function.
LED light under the Programmed Mode button: The LED is red when the Programmed mode is
activated. It is switched off when the Programmed mode is disabled.
LED light under the Stand-By button: The LED is red when the product is in the Comfort mode;
and changes to green when the product is in the Eco mode; the LED switches off when the unit
is in stand-by mode.
Programming Your Fan Heater
Main ON/OFF Switch
The power supply of the product is controlled by an electromechanical ON/OFF switch. Switching off
the fan heater will cut off the power to the electronic board and this will cause the loss of all stored
information, after 30 minutes of the unit being turned off. We recommend to use this switch only
when you are not using the product for long periods and instead to use the on / stand-by control for
any short-term interruptions. In this way you will not lose the stored settings.
For the first use of the product or in case of power loss for over 30 minutes, when in the
ON position, the display shows 00:00 and begins counting the time starting from this value.
Should no adjustment be made within 15min after power up, the product will
automatically switch to Frost free mode with the lighting of the corresponding LED.

Open Window Detection
The unit has a function which allows it to detect if a window is open automatically activating the
Frost Free Mode. When the function is enabled and an open window is detected, a red dot lights
up on the upper right area of the display between the 3rd and the 4th digit.
If a temperature drop is observed in the room during the normal functioning, the Frost-free mode
is automatically activated to save energy consumption. The red light under the Frost-Free button
flashes to show that the open window function has been activated.
To reset the unit to reset the unit to normal setting is not automatic but can be achieved by
pressing one of the five display buttons. Correct operation of this function may depend on where

End of settings
Display / Change The Comfort Temperature
You can check the set Comfort temperature at any time by pressing a single time the key.
A further press on will modify the set temperature.
When in Eco mode, by pressing the key the product will automatically turn back on Comfort
temperature, without having to wait until the sensor detects the presence in the room for at least 2
minutes.
Should you wish to view and / or change the temperature of comfort without leaving the ECO mode
first press the key. The Eco mode is always indicated by the green power light.
Note: The temperature measured by the inner sensor of the product is representative of the ambient
temperature nearby it and it may differ from the temperature measured using other instruments in
other areas of the room. That difference may depend on many factors including, for example:
•the installation position: some areas of the room may be affected by drafts or hot air sacs that
modify the sensor measurement;
•the fixation to an external wall that, being normally colder than internal walls, may imply the
measurement of a temperature lower than the real room temperature;
•a full load of towels on the support bar may obstruct the airflow. As a result, the sensor may
measure a temperature higher than the real room temperature;
•unstable conditions: any evaluation must be done in stable working conditions. For this
purpose, comfort temperature should be changed only 60min after a previous change. It is not
possible, indeed, to evaluate the room temperature maintained by the product correctly if the
comfort level temperature is continually changed in a short time.
or
If a difference between set temperature and room temperature is detected in stable working
conditions, measure the difference and then increase or decrease the comfort temperature on
the product of the exact value of measured difference.

Turn off the fan heater and allow it to cool down for about 15-20 minutes.
Make sure the dust filter is not totally obstructed and clean if necessary. Remember to put it back
again afterwards.
Eliminate any other possible reasons for overheating (e.g. obstructions in front of the air
inlet/outlet grilles, build-up of dirt).
Turn on the fan heater again and check it works correctly.
If the touch control commands are blocked or don't properly answer to digital pressure, turn off
the heater using the electromechanic switch on the left side of the heater. Then turn on the
heater using the same switch.
