MnO2 and KCl03 do not react because disassociation of the elements occur at different temperature, however when mixed together at a high temperature, KCl03 = KCL + (3)O but Mn02 remains a compound.

Manganese Dioxide is a catalyst and so aids the reaction of itself and Potassium Chlorate to produce Itself (undeterred), Potassium Chloride and O3 which rapidly dissociates in to Oxygen gas.
