Fuel: due to the design of our equipment, the recommended fuel that can be used is wood: oak,
hornbeam, ash, beech, etc. It is also acceptable to use brown coal briquettes and charcoal. The best
fuel is dried wood (at least 18 -24 months in a well-ventilated and dry place); cut and crushed logs.
Because of the very rapid ignition, the use of coniferous wood is not advised. Green wood or poorly
dried fuel is not good because it has limited energy properties. Using such can result in greater
emissions of creosote in the ue pipes. Fuel for the inserts cannot include: minerals (e.g. coal), tropical
wood, (e.g. mahogany), chemical products or liquids, such as oil, alcohol, benzene, naphthalene,
laminated boards, impregnated or compressed pieces of wood with glue, garbage. If other fuels are
allowed, such information will be placed on the nameplate.
Housing of the replace insert: should allow access of air required for ventilation and air circulation
in the housing by applying grilles selected according to the insert power (in the lower part of the
envelope - under the insert) and an outlet grille (at the top of the envelope - over the insert).
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 Infrastructure 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 feeding fuel and lockable
doors. They are designed for trimming or locating into a niche. Hardwood to be burnt includes:
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.
