Side-Insert Installation

Follow these steps to install the cast iron inserts or your own custom stone inserts in the Vintage™ gas stove:

1.Remove the cast iron top and set it aside.

2.Remove the cast iron upper piece A - see Figure 14. Complete this step by unscrewing the (2) 5/32 hex-head screws labeled B in Figure 17. Lift out the upper cast piece A with the retaining bracket D attached.

3.Slide the cast iron or stone side inserts (size 15.5”x 10.5”) (with the desired surface facing out) in behind the lower retaining bracket E. See Figures 15, 16 and 17. Note that the cast iron inserts are reversible - both sides have different designs.

4.Slide the heatshield (with the bent edges toward the cast or stone inserts - Figure 15) in between the cast or stone insert and the lower retaining bracket E.

5.Put the cast iron upper piece A back in its original location while making sure that the upper retaining bracket D is to the inside of the heatshield pushing it up firmly against the cast or stone insert - Figure 16. Reinstall the 2 screws B.

6.Reinstall the top.

Tile Inserts

Should a Vintage owner prefer, tile can be used as the top and side inserts. The top inserts are 10-3/4” x 4-3/8” and the side inserts are 15-1/2” x 10-1/2”. The stove can accommodate tile up to 1/2” thick. If 12” x 12” tile are used to make the side inserts, a seam will result. The tile and the heatshield should be positioned so the seam between the two pieces of tile is located between the two bends on the heatshield (see Figure 18). Also note that the seam and the heatshield can be rotated 180 degrees so the seam and the heatshield bends are on the bottom.
