1.The appliance must be in complete shutdown. Allow the appliance to completely cool down.

2Empty the hopper of any remaining pellets.

3. Vacuum the hopper and feed tube.

13.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. At start-up if there is incomplete combustion, or if there is a shut- down or incorrect operation of the appliance it will lead to some soot formation. This will collect in the exhaust venting 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.
