15. Soot and Fly Ash: Formation & Need for Removal
in Exhaust Venting System.
• Frequency:
Yearly or more frequently depending on
ash build-up
• By:
Qualified Service Technician/Homeowner
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 appliance will lead to some
soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting
system. The exhaust venting system should be inspected at
least once every year to determine if cleaning is necessary.
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.
NOTE:
There are heavy duty vacuum cleaners
specifically designed for solid fuel appliance
cleaning.

When clear view of the fire pot is obscure
• By:
Homeowner

cleaner. Wipe off with dry towel.
