Introduction
•The Edge / Edge 3s BF has been designed and tested for use in GB (Great Britain) and IE (Ireland).
•The Edge / Edge 3s BF incorporates a single gas valve which selects ignition pilot, with variable setting
between low and high setting and is operated via remote control hand device . This system is powered by mains
electricity via pre-wired transformer plus supply cord. Alternative power supply is available for users during mains
interruptions.
•The Edge / Edge 3s BF is an inset room sealed decorative fuel-effect gas appliance.
•The Edge / Edge 3s BF is available in natural gas or LPG.
•The Edge / Edge 3s BF must not be installed into a natural draught flue or chimney.
•The Edge / Edge 3s BF should only be installed and serviced by a competent person i.e. GAS SAFE registered,
in accordance with the GAS SAFETY (INSTALLATION AND USE) REGULATIONS.
•The Edge / Edge 3s BF does not require a chimney, but must be installed so it can flue to an outside wall.
•It is important that the flue terminal is regularly checked and kept clear at all times.
•If the terminal is accessible to people (i.e. less than 2m above a walkway, balcony etc.) a terminal guard must
be fitted to prevent access to the flue outlet, which becomes hot when the fire is in use.
•As the Edge / Edge 3s BF is a room sealed appliance (i.e. air for the combustion process is taken from outside
the room) no purpose built ventilation is required.
•The Edge / Edge 3s BF is designed and tested to meet the requirements of the European Standard EN 613.

6 LT8019
Important Information
•The Edge BF is for use on Natural Gas (G20 @ 20mbar) or LPG (G31 @ 37mbar).
•The Edge 3s BF is for use on Natural Gas (G20 @ 20mbar) only.
•Failure to install appliance correctly could lead to prosecution.
In GB (Great Britain), the appliance must be installed by a competent person i.e. GAS SAFE registered, in
accordance with the GAS SAFETY (INSTALLATION AND USE) REGULATIONS, The Building Regulations (or The
Building Regulations (Scotland) or The Building Regulations (Northern Ireland)) and The Current I.E.E. Wiring
Regulations, if appropriate.
In IE (Ireland), the appliance must be installed by a competent person and installed in accordance with the
current edition of I.S.813 Domestic Gas Installation, the current Building Regulations and the current ETCI rules

•The glass front of this fire acts as a dress guard, conforming to BS 1945 (1997) however; a fireguard
conforming to BS6539 (1997) must be used to protect young children, the elderly or infirm.
•The appliance MUST NOT be used with the glass safety screen removed or if it is damaged or cracked.
•During initial firing, an odour may be evident. This is the starch binder used during the manufacture of the
fibre components of the fire, and there are no harmful effects produced.
•During the normal operation of the fire some black staining may appear on some parts of the fuel bed. This
is quite normal and adds to the appearance of the appliance. However, if excessive black staining does occur
it may be due to the fuel bed being incorrectly laid. This should be checked prior to contacting a service
engineer.
•Care must be taken to prevent any damage being caused to surrounding soft furnishing or decoration; e.g.
many embossed vinyl wall coverings may become discoloured if placed too close to the appliance.

SECTION TWO Operating the Appliance (Users Instructions)
To light the appliance using the remote handset:
A. Point the remote control handset in the direction of the
appliance and simultaneously press the buttons marked ‘
off’ and ‘standby’. Continue to hold in these two
buttons until a ‘bleep’ is heard (approximately 2-3 sec.)
and then release these buttons. The appliance will
automatically go through the ignition sequence and the
pilot should ignite. Once the pilot is alight the appliance
will automatically go to the high setting (approximately
20-25sec). If the ignitor stops sparking and the pilot fails
to light, repeat this procedure.
B. The appliance can be adjusted up or down by pressing the
appropriate button ' ' (low setting) or '' (high
setting).There are 5 heat settings and the fire will give a double bleep when the maximum or minimum heat
setting is reached. To switch off the appliance press the OFF ' ' button or if the appliance is to be switch off
for a short period it is recommended that the ‘standby’ button be used.
C. The appliance can be switched off without using the handset by unplugging the transformer. When the
transformer is removed there will be a delay (up to 3minutes) after which double bleeps may be heard and
shortly after the appliance will extinguish. Ensure that the transformer is reconnected once the fire as been
extinguished. The appliance cannot be operated without the use of the handset. If the fire fails to light or
extinguishes for any reason, it will be necessary to re-set the fire. This can be done by pressing the off
button then following the normal lighting procedure.
NOTE: If the fire is extinguished for any reason wait 3 minutes before relighting.
Low Battery Indication (Handset)

SECTION THREE Cleaning (Users Instructions)
Warning: -
Before you clean any part of the appliance ensures that the appliance is turned off and cold.
Cleaning: Black Painted Surfaces
The outer body simply needs to be dusted or wiped with a clean cloth from time to time. DO NOT use wet cloths as it
can spread plaster, cement, fire cement or fire board dust and subsequently cause the paint to turn grey with heat
where it has been wiped. DO NOT use any kind of furniture polish or cleaning agent other than your stove suppliers
recommended paint. All painted stoves will require some re-painting from time to time. The stove can simply be re-
painted by using high temperature stove spray paint after rubbing down with wire wool or similar abrasive to
remove all loose debris from the surfaces.
Stove paint finishes will require touching up or re-painting from time to time and failure to maintain the surface
finish can lead to unnecessary corrosion. Looking after the paint finish is normal maintenance and not covered by
warranty.
Glass Cleaning
From time to time it will be necessary to clean the glass panel of your Edge BF Gas Stove. We recommend you use a
Ceramic hob cleaner these are available for all leading super markets: - i.e. ASDA, TESCO, SAINSBURY’S Etc.
Brands of hob cleaning we have tested and found suitable are - HOB BRITE & VITRO CLEAN.
•Ensure the fire as been turned OFF for at least four hours to ensure it is cool.
•Pull forward on the door to disengage the lower magnets and lift the door upwards to remove.
•Loosen the lower 3 M4 fixing nuts but do not remove.
•Remove the 9 off M4 fixing nuts from the glass fixing brackets located at the top and sides of the glass panel.
•Remove the top and side fixing brackets while supporting the glass panel.
•Lift the glass panel from within the bottom support bracket.
•Follow the instructions on the Hob Cleaner Bottle.
•On stubborn stains (where the appliance as been used for a long period without glass panel being cleaned),
use a new Brillo Pad well wetted with the Hob cleaner applied directly to it.
•Ensure all residue of the cleaner is removed with a damp cloth and the glass panel is completely dry before
refitting the glass.
Important: - The appliance must not be used if the glass panel is missing or damaged.
Note: - The glass may discolour quickly when first installed, and it should be cleaned. This is due to the burning off
process of the refractory shapes.
