Soot and Flyash: Formation and Need for Removal – The products of combustion will

flow of the flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect
operation of the room heater will lead to some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting
system The exhaust venting system should be inspected at least once every year to determine if
cleaning is necessary.
