If black carbon soot is allowed to build up on the internal
surfaces of the heat exchanger, this can affect the ef
-
ficiency and/or smoothness of operation of the unit. The
possible causes include: incomplete combustion, com
-
bustion air problems, venting problems, or short-cycling.
Laars recommends the unit be inspected once a year,
and cleaned if necessary. If a condensing boiler is oper
-
ated consistently at high temperatures, it may need to be
cleaned more often.
As part of the cleaning process, you will need to remove
the blower.
Black carbon soot buildup on a dirty heat exchanger
can be ignited by a random spark or flame. To prevent
this from happening, dampen the soot deposits with a
wet brush or fine water spray before servicing the heat
exchanger.
Tools required:
• Compressed air
• Non-detergent glass cleaner (i.e. Windex ®)
• Power drill
• Soft brush on a long shaft
• Furnace vacuum (i.e. SootMaster ®)
• Drain hose (approx. 6’)
• Pump-type garden sprayer
• White vinegar
Cleaning procedure:
1. Turn off the power to the unit using the switch on the
front panel.
2. Shut off all gas supply valves to the unit.
3. Remove the hose at the outlet of the condensation
trap, and attach a longer hose. Run the free end of
the hose into a different container – not into the drain
normally used for the condensate.
