	filter called a HEPA filter or a vacuum specially made
	for fly ash and soot. USING A VACUUM WHICH IS
	NOT EQUIPPED WITH A FINE DUST FILTER WILL
	BLOW FLY ASH AND SOOT OUT INTO THE ROOM.

Soot and FlyAsh

The products of combustion will con- tain small particles of fly ash which must be removed from the inner walls of the stove and from the venting system peri- odically. Removing fly ash and soot improves efficiency, insures that the

flue venting passageway is clear and unobstructed. The stove should be cleanedafter eachton of pellets (50 bags) and the venting system inspected and cleaned after

each heating season.
