12. Cleaning the Glass

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  shutdown  or  incorrect  operation  of  the  appliance  it

will lead to some soot formation. This will collect in the

exhaust venting system.
The venting (chimney) system may need to be cleaned at

least once a year or more often depending upon the qual-

ity of your fuel or if there is a lot of horizontal pipe sections.

Ash will build up more quickly in the horizontal sections.
