side-insert installation
Follow these steps to install the side stone or cast iron
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 loca-
tion 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.
