15. Soot and Fly Ash: Formation & Need for Removal
in Exhaust Venting System.
• Frequency:
Yearly or more frequently depending on
ash build-up.
• By:
Qualifi ed Service Technician/Homeowner
Be sure the appliance is allowed to cool, has been unplugged
and the exhaust blower is off.
The products of combustion will contain small particles of fl y
ash. The fl y ash will collect in the exhaust venting system
and restrict the fl ow of the fl ue gases.
At start-up if there is incomplete combustion, or if there is a
shutdown or incorrect operation of the appliance it will lead
to some soot formation. This will collect in the exhaust vent-
ing system.
The venting system may need to be cleaned at least once a
year or more often depending upon the quality of your fuel
or if there is a lot of horizontal pipe sections. Ash will build
up more quickly in the horizontal sections.
