The products of combustion will contain small particles of fly
ash. The fly ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and
restrict the flow of the flue gases.
Incomplete combustion, such
as occurs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of
the room heater will lead to some soot formation which will
collect in the exhaust venting system.
The exhaust venting
system should be inspected at least once per month to
determine if cleaning is necessary. If cleaning is necessary,
disassemble the exhaust vent and clean the individual parts.
When cleaning ash, use an approved ash vacuum. See a dealer
for more details.
Check clean out tees regularly to determine the required
cleaning interval. Use a 3” or 4” chimney cleaning brush to clean
the exhaust venting. Plugged venting will effect the quality of
the fire. Make sure to clean any screens in the venting
regularly. A plugged screen will shut of combustion air and
cause the fire to die or burn poorly.

Remove any build-ups and be sure all of the holes are clean.
Dump the ash pan into a metal container with a tightly fitting
lid.
The closed-container of ashes should be placed on a
non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all
combustible materials, pending final disposal. The ash dumping
will be determined by the amount of fuel burned. It may need
to be done up to three times a week.
