Side-Insert Installation
Follow these steps to install the cast iron inserts or your own custom
stone inserts in this appliance:
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 hex­head 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
If you prefer, tile can be used as the top and side inserts. The top inserts
are 10­3/4" x 4­3/8" and the side inserts are 15­1/2" x 10­1/2". 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.
