Procedure for Soot Cleaning
Perform the following:
1. Determine if fl ues are dirty by checking stack temperature with a stack
thermometer. If temperatures are in excess of 600 F (315 C) while the boiler
is operating, the fl ues are likely dirty/restricted in some other manner.
NOTE:

Usually soot cleaning is performed annually, unless the burner setting has
been altered and excessive soot has been produced as a result.
2. Remove burner and fl ue cover plates.
3. Using a wire brush, carefully remove soot from fl ue passages.
4. Clean out plug at lowest part of unit and clean passages between ribs and
bottom of combustion chamber.
