- For Intermediate Bracket (if required), space evenly between the two end brackets. Make sure all brackets are leveled and aligned.
- Important: On 2-3/8” & 2-1/2” slats, spacer blocks will be attached to the end of each bracket (if extension brackets are not used).
Using Extension Brackets (optional)
- Position the extension brackets to the wall markings made on step 1.
- The bracket tops must be aligned and level to one another.
- First, mount the extension brackets with screws through diagonal holes. Attach the installation brackets to the extension brackets. Then, mark where the ends of the headrail will be positioned and install each bracket with two screws either through the back.
- For the Intermediate Bracket (if required), space evenly between the two end brackets. Make sure all brackets are leveled and aligned.
Install the Blind
First, open the installation brackets door latches by pressing up on the bracket bottoms while lifting the doors open. Then, slide the headrail into the brackets and push it all the way back. The front lip of the headrail should hook to the center support lips (if installed). Finally, snap the door shut over the locking tab to secure it.
Install Components — Hold-Down (Optional)
First, lower the blind and connect the bottom rail pins to the hooks on both sides. Then, mark the hold-down bracket locations on the mounting surface. With the brackets level, attach the hold-downs using the provided screws.
Install Components — Wand (Optional)
Install the Valance
First, lay the valance face down on a protected surface with the back side up. Insert the clip dovetail into the valance groove and twist the clip until it is straight with the clear tabs at the top of the valance. Then, install and space all provided clips evenly.
Important: The magnetic clip has three projection positions (5/8”, 3/4”,
and 7/8”). To change the projection, first, insert a small flat head
screwdriver into the slot on one side of the magnet. Push the screwdriver in,
towards the magnet, and then move the magnetic valance clip to the desired
position.
Finally, align the valance to the headrail, making sure to hold the valance
securely from the front side with both hands. Position the magnetic valance
clips to the top-front lip of the headrail until it is level and in position.
Then, press the valance gently forward, just enough so the magnetic valance
clips adhere to the headrail.
Remove the Blind
(only if necessary)
First, remove the Valance by gently pulling it. Then, open the end brackets by inserting a flat blade screwdriver between the bottom of the cover and the quick release tab and twisting. You may also push up the bottom of the end brackets to release the locking tab. Finally, slide the headrail out.
