in Exhaust Venting System.
• Frequency: See chart on pg. 16
• 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 combus-
tion, such as occurs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect
operation of the room appliance will lead to some soot for-
mation which will collect in the exhaust venting system.
Note: Ash will build up more quickly in the horizontal venting
sections.
