5. Installation and Setup

The Aurora WINDY 2B is designed for wall-mounted installation. Due to its electrical nature and use in a damp environment, professional installation is recommended.

1. Choose Location: Select a suitable wall location in your bathroom, ensuring it is not directly above a bath or shower and adheres to local electrical regulations for bathroom zones. The heater requires a standard electrical outlet.
2. Mounting: Securely mount the heater to the wall using the provided installation accessories. Ensure the unit is level and firmly attached. The ultra-flat design allows for minimal protrusion from the wall.
3. Electrical Connection: Connect the heater to a suitable power supply. Ensure the circuit is protected by a Residual Current Device (RCD) as required for bathroom installations.
4. Towel Holder Attachment: Attach the double aluminum towel holder to the designated points on the heater.
5. Initial Power On: Once installed, switch on the power supply to the heater. The LED display should illuminate.

Note: The heater is rated IP24, providing protection against splashing water. However, avoid direct exposure to water jets.

6. Operating Instructions

The WINDY 2B features intuitive touch screen controls and an LED display for easy operation.

6.1. Basic Operation

• Power On/Off: Use the dedicated power button on the touch screen to turn the unit on or off.
• Temperature Setting: Adjust the desired temperature using the up/down arrows on the touch screen. The LED display will show the set temperature.

6.2. Operating Modes

Select from four distinct operating modes to suit your heating needs:

• COMFORT Mode: Maintains a constant, user-defined comfortable temperature.
• AUTO Mode: Automatically adjusts heating based on ambient conditions and programmed settings.
• PROGRAMMED Mode: Follows one of the 5 pre-set weekly programs. You can customize these programs to match your schedule. Refer to the detailed programming section in the full manual for setup.
• FROST FREE Mode: Maintains a minimum temperature (e.g., 5°C / 41°F) to prevent freezing in the room, ideal for periods of absence.

6.3. Advanced Functions

• Motion Sensor: The integrated motion sensor detects presence in the room and can adjust heating accordingly, saving energy when the room is unoccupied.
• Open Window Detection: If a sudden drop in temperature is detected (indicating an open window), the heater will temporarily pause heating to avoid energy waste. Heating resumes once the window is closed or after a set period.
• BOOST Function: Activate the BOOST function for a rapid increase in room temperature or quick towel drying. This function typically operates for a limited time before returning to the previous mode.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your heater.

• Cleaning the Exterior: Disconnect the power before cleaning. Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
