1. General comments
a) Before installing a replace insert have an expertise executed and commissioning of the ue in
terms of its technical characteristics and the technical condition - leaks, blockages.
b) Installation and commissioning of the replace insert should be done by an installation company
having adequate licenses for this purpose and experience.
c) The replace insert should be located as close to the ue as possible. The room in which it will be
installed must have an ecient ventilation system and the necessary amount of air required for the
proper functioning of the insert.
d) While moving, do not grab the handle of the insert, as it may get damaged.
e) Before using the insert, remove stickers from the glass.
f) Technical parameters of the insert apply to the fuel specied in this manual.
g) It is essential to comply with ue service intervals (at least 2 times a year).
h) pursuant to the current law, a replace can not be the sole source of heat but it can only supple-
ment the existing heating system. The reason for this type of regulation is the need to ensure the
heating of the building in the event of prolonged absence of people. Installation of a replace
insert must be carried out in accordance with the provisions of standards in force in this eld, the
requirements of construction law and the applicable re safety standards. Detailed rules for the
structural safety, re safety and safety in use are contained in the Construction Act of 7 July 1994
(Journal of Laws No. 156, item 1118 of 2006, as amended), Regulation of the Minister of Infrastruc-
ture of 12 April 2002 on technical conditions which should be met by buildings and their location
(Journal of Laws No. 75, item 690 of 2002, Journal of Laws No. 109, item 1156 of 2004), the PN-EN
13229:2002 standard “Fireplace inserts with open res using solid fuel. Requirements and Tests.”
2. Intended use
The replace inserts manufactured by Kratki.pl use solid fuels with manual loading of fuel and
lockable doors. They are designed for trimming or locating into a niche. They are designed to
burn hardwood i.e. hornbeam, oak, beech, acacia, elm, maple, birch, with humidity <20% (lignite
briquettes and wood briquettes are also acceptable). They serve as an additional source of heat in
the rooms in which they are installed. Installation of an insert should be structured in a way that will
allow assembly and disassembly of the replace, without having to destroy or damage it. It should
also ensure access of air needed to circulate around the insert by using replace grilles.
Selection of grilles.
Intake and outlet grilles: In the lower part of the trim of a replace insert, provided an air hole (s) to
supply air required for heating through the trim - air intake (lower
an air hole (s) to supply air required for heating through the trim - air intake (lower
grilles). To ensure proper exhaust of hot air from the hood, provide exhaust holes in it with ventilation
grilles - air outlet (upper ventilation grilles). The holes are nished using grilles of cross-sections
depending on the insert power, from 40 to 60 cm2 per 1 kW of the replace insert.
Note: Because of the high temperatures in the housing of the insert, the grilles in the hood and the
air distribution crowning the system in the house have to be metal. Only grilles without blinds are
allowed in the replace hood.
Eective area of the grilles: The recommended eective area of the inlet / outlet grilles for surface
inserts (steel or cast iron) to 10 kW, it is the air intake (lower ventilation grilles) / the air outlet (upper
ventilation grilles) cm2 ≥ 500 cm2 (eective area of the grille or all of the grilles) for inserts to 15 kW,
it is the air intake (lower ventilation grilles) / the air outlet (upper ventilation grilles) cm2 ≥ 700 cm2
(eective area of the grille or all of the grates), and for inserts over 15 kW, it is the air intake (lower
ventilation grilles) / the outlet air (upper ventilation grilles) cm2 ≥ 800 - 1200 cm 2 or more (eective
area of the grille or all of the grilles).
Decompression grilles: Very high temperatures are recorded inside the hood, therefore, inside the
hood, approx. 40 cm from the ceiling of the room, a decompression shelf should be tted i.e. a ceiling
over the insert. It prevents heating of the ceiling of the room, heat losses and forces the installation
