Questions and answers
My empire is pushing heat but also pushing soot all over my house . Would it be the burner that is clogged ?
Yes, a clogged burner could be a cause. The manual suggests checking the main burner for obstructions in the throat, ports, and orifices if there is a yellow main burner flame, which can indicate incomplete combustion and soot production. Cleaning or replacing the burner orifice and pilot orifice may help resolve the issue.
