ZENITH SUITE
INSTALLER’S GUIDE
www.visionfires.co.uk
Rev. B July 2023
IMPORTANT: This installation guide is to ensure that the fireplace is fitted safely and
securely. Please ensure that you read through all instructions within carefully and
retain for future reference. This product is heavy: improper installation may result in
serious injury and damage to the fireplace or property.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
IMPORTANT: Read all instructions carefully before beginning installation.
•It is essential that fireplaces are fitted by an experienced installer using the supplied
brackets and a suitable adhesive. Do not rely on adhesive alone to secure this product to
the wall.
•Any electric work must be carried out by a suitably qualified person.
•This fireplace must be installed in a suitable environment against a solid wall or structure,
never against a non-structural wall such as a lightweight metal stud wall or moveable
partitions etc.
•Ensure that the wall and floor have sufficient load bearing capabilities.
•Never sit, stand, lean or climb on the fireplace. Children must never be allowed to play on
the fireplace and should be discouraged from playing near it.
•Do not place heavy loads on the fireplace shelf.
HANDLING AND UNPACKING
WARNING: Sintered stone fireplaces are heavy and should not be lifted alone. If necessary, seek
assistance when moving any of the components.
•Ensure that correct safety attire is worn.
•Ensure that the packaging is the right way up before opening.
•Never use a blade to remove packaging from components.
•Check that the installation area is clear and free of debris.
•Lay components onto carpet or other soft floor covering.
•Care should be taken when lifting components that may be ‘nested’ within the packaging.
This usually applies to fireplace leg assemblies.
•Ensure that all parts are present and are free from damage.
•Do not dispose of packaging until the installation is complete.
INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: The correct type of adhesive must be used and applied in the correct manner. Usage
of proprietary cements, adhesives, grouts and bedding materials must conform to the
manufacturer’s guidelines.
In this instance, for joints between component/component and joints between component and
the surrounding structures, high strength, neutral coloured limestone or tile cement should be used.
Coloured adhesives such as Carlite bonding should not be used as this will show through the
material and cause permanent staining.
•Ensure that all components are cleaned and prepared for the adhesive as per the
manufacturer’s instructions.
•Do not bond to wallpapered or painted surfaces.
MECHANICAL/BRACKET FIXING
It is essential that the fireplace is installed using the supplied brackets and a suitable adhesive. Do
not rely on adhesive alone to secure this product to the wall.
Drill and plug the wall with appropriate fixings suitable for the wall type and secure the component
in place (using adhesive also as described above).
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Sintered stone requires very little maintenance. Simply wipe the surface with a non-abrasive
sponge and warm water on a regular basis to maintain its beauty and shine for years to come.
Your fireplace should be protected from staining. In the event of an accident, soak up any
spillages immediately. Scrub with a Scotch Brite pad and rinse with warm water.
Before cleaning, turn off the fire and allow to cool beforehand. Dust down regularly with a soft,
clean brush and occasionally wipe over with a damp cloth.

Step 1
Fit the Solus Ambient Lighting Kit to the underside of the plinth component. You may find it
easier to turn the plinth upside down to do this. Ensuring that you leave enough length to
secure a connection to the appliance (the connection point for the lighting kit is located next
the power connection port on the Solus appliance), peel the backing from the strip to reveal
the adhesive backing and stick to the inside face of the plinth. It is important to ensure there is
no dust or debris on the surface that you will stick the LED strip to. When positioning the LED
strip, run it behind the guide blocks as shown below. Trim the lighting kit to the appropriate
length, ensuring you cut the strip at one of the correct, indicated section within the strip.

Step 2
Offer the plinth into position against
the wall and ensure it is central and
level. Working through the fire
opening on top of the plinth,
locate the blocks inside used for
securing to the wall with the
supplied ‘Z’ brackets. Mark the
position on the wall and then
secure using fixings that are
suitable for the wall type.
Step 3
Position the fire onto the plinth.
Ensure that the power cable is
attached and connected to a
power supply. Ensure that the
Ambient Lighting Kit is connected
to the fire. Ensure that the fire is set
up for Panoramic mode with the
correct side trims attached. Refer
to the appliance manual for further
details. It is advised to check full
operation of the fire at this point.
Step 4
Temporarily position the top
assembly on to the top of the fire,
taking note of the positions of the
securing brackets on the underside
of the top assembly. Mark the
position of the securing brackets
onto the wall and remove the top
section.
Step 5
Using appropriate fixings suitable
for the wall type, secure the two
mounting brackets to the wall so
that they will accept the securing
brackets when the top assembly is
re-positioned. Apply a suitable
adhesive and carefully re-position
the top assembly, ensuring the
brackets have located correctly
and are securing the top assembly
to the wall.

Step 6
Position the left and right side
pieces to both sides of the fire and
secure to the wall using a suitable
adhesive. Ensure the adhesive
achieves a bond between the side
piece, the plinth, the wall and the
top section. Any gaps between
the joints may be filled with a
suitably coloured decorator’s
caulk.
