7. Remove soot from heat exchanger with a soft 
bristle brush.  Use care not to damage coating on the exterior
of the secondary heat exchanger. Use a vacuum to remove
loose soot from surfaces and inner chamber.
8.
The heat exchanger can be removed by 
disconnecting all water piping to the bypass and 
secondary heat exchanger and sliding the heat 
exchanger towards the rear of the appliance. Once 
the heat exchanger is removed, a garden hose can 
be used to wash the tubes to ensure that all surface deposits
