Description
Flame at the push of a button, with no wood to carry and no ash to sweep. The Kratki Leo 100 Gas Insert is a closed combustion gas fireplace built into the wall, with a wide, clean window and a frame so slim that you mostly see glass and fire. Its 4mm thick steel firebox is made for strength, and it gives 4.8kW to 9kW of adjustable heat.
Kratki Leo 100 Gas Insert Features
A minimalist, low profile fireplace
The invisible front frame shows very little steel, which suits modern homes and media walls. It comes standard with decorative white stones, and ceramic logs are an optional extra if you prefer a classic log fire look.
Realistic flame, easy control
A specially designed gas burner gives a natural, lively flame. The LCD remote has a built-in thermostat and timer, so you can set the room temperature, schedule the fire and adjust the flame from the couch. The unit runs on batteries and does not need mains electricity.
Safe, sealed and flexible to install
The Leo 100 uses a balanced coaxial flue, a double-walled pipe that brings fresh air in and takes fumes out. The system is fully sealed, and the fire turns itself off if it detects a problem with the air, flue or gas supply. Because no traditional chimney is needed, the flue can exit through an outside wall or go up through the roof.
Natural gas or LPG
The burner works with natural gas or LPG, which in most Cape Town homes means a gas bottle installation outside.

Kratki Leo 100 FAQs
Does the Kratki Leo 100 Gas Insert need a chimney?
No. Its concentric flue can go straight out through an outside wall or up through the roof, which makes it a good choice for homes and apartments without a chimney.
Will it work during load shedding?
Yes. The unit and remote run on batteries, not mains power, so you can still light and control the fire when the electricity is off.
What warranty comes with the Leo 100?
Kratki backs its fireplaces with a 5-year limited guarantee. Our team installs to the maker’s requirements so your cover stays in place.
