We present new interpretation of Ton S180 spectrum obtained by {\it Chandra} Spectrometer (Low Energy Transmission Grating). Several narrow absorption lines and a few emission disk lines have been successfully fitted to the data. We have not found any significant edges accompanying line emission. We propose the interpretation of narrow lines consistent with the paper recently written by Krolik (2002), where warm absorber is strongly inhomogeneous. Such situation is possible in so called multi-phase medium, where regions with different ionization states, densities and temperatures may coexist in thermal equilibrium under constant pressure. We illustrate this scenario with theoretical spectra of radiation transfered through a stratified cloud with constant pressure (instead of constant density) computed by code {\sc titan} in plane parallel approximation. Detected spectral features are faint and their presence do not alter the broad band continuum. We model the broad band continuum of Ton S180 assuming an irradiated accretion disk with a dissipative warm skin. The set of parameters appropriate for the data cannot be determined uniquely but models with low values of the black hole mass have too hot and radially extended warm skin to explain the formation of soft X-ray disk lines seen in the data.
