Fly Ash And Soot; Vortex Limited Lifetime Warranty; Warranty Conditions - Vortex VOPKGF03 Mode D'emploi

Fly Ash and Soot

Combustion products contain small particles of fly ash. Fly ash can accumulate particularly in the
horizontal sections of exhaust pipe and restrict the flow of combustion gases. Incomplete combustion
during start-up, shut-down or improper use of the appliance will cause soot to build up in the exhaust
system.
The exhaust system must be inspected at least twice a year to determine if sweeping is
required.
