The stir rod will be controlled by the control board. This stir rod assists in mixing fuel with air in the burn

pot. The stirring action improves the mixing of oxygen and fuel and accelerates the combustion process. As

heat settings are changed on the control board, the stir rod speed will automatically be adjusted to more

closely match the feed rates of the different heat settings.

The stir rod assists in minimizing “clinker” build-up in the burn pot. If the proper air-fuel mixture is set by

the homeowner, the Crossfire will generate a very fine ash rather than clinkers. In addition, the stir rod

ensures that the fuel and flame are constantly agitated within the burn pot to enhance the combustion process.

The Crossfire burn pot has been designed to ensure maximum efficiency of burn while minimizing the

amount of ash being produced at the same time minimizing the clinkers that might choke out a fire. Testing

by Country Flame has shown that the Crossfire can be continuously operated for several days without

requiring cleaning. However for optimum stove performance, make sure all air passages and burnpot are free

of obstruction. It should be recognized by the homeowner that environmental variables as well as the type of

fuel being burnt can have dramatic effect on the amount of ash or clinkers formed during the burn cycle.

Burn pot cleaning will depend upon the quality, quantity, and moisture content of the fuel. Ash removal will

be required from time to time depending on the amount of usage and the heat output required. The Crossfire

stove should be shut down and cooled before cleaning or removing any ash from the firebox.

CLEANING - ASH REMOVAL

The Crossfire stove has a deep ash container built into the firebox. There is no removable ash pan located

within the Crossfire. This means the operator must allow the ash to properly cool and then vacuum the ash

from the stove and BURNPOT with an industry approved ash vacuum. Once the ash has been removed from

the firebox, it should be stored or disposed of in proper containers. Failure to properly handle ash, even when

the ash is believed to be completely cool, can lead to a fire.

Always remove ashes after they have been allowed to cool properly. Hot ash is dangerous to both

surrounding areas and occupants and can cause fires or severe burns. Wait until the fire has been out for

several hours before vacuuming the firebox with an industry approved ash vacuum. Protective gloves should

be worn anytime ash is removed. Dump all ash into a proper ash container and remove to a safe outdoors

area. Remember that although the ash may look and feel cool to the touch, a smoldering ember can start a

fire. CAUTION: Care should be used to store any ash in a proper container with an approved airtight lid. If

ash is taken outside, water should be poured over the ash to ensure no fire flare up can occur.

CONTROL BOARD

In 201 Country Flame introduced its own control board technology control board technology was introduced

across all pellets and corn stove product lines. The control board is being used exclusively on Country Flame

product. This control board technology was developed to ensure better support to customers. Country Flame

will seek to provide the most advanced controls while maintaining the look and feel our dealers and

customers have come to know and expect. Country Flame also wants to ensure its product can be upgraded to

newer and more advanced technology if and when this technology becomes available and the customer

chooses to obtain it. Country Flame is committed to its customer base. Country Flame will strive to make the

service support process easier through systematic troubleshooting procedures and repair events that should

allow for evolving “plug n play” operations. Country Flame’s goal is to ensure a certified service technician

can diagnose and repair any stove problem in less than 30 minutes. FIGURE 4A depicts control board basic

theory and FIGURE 4B provides a brief description of sensor controls.
