Step 2. Tools Required
Screwdriver, tape measure, pencil, drill, drill bits, step ladder.
Note: use #6 plastic anchors for drywall or plaster mounting (not included).
Drill Bits: for screws, use a 3/32″ drill bit – for wall anchors, use a 1/4″
drill bit.
Step 3. Bracket Location and Installation
Your shade may be installed either inside the window frame or outside the
window frame.
A mounting bracket should be positioned about 1” to 6” from each end of the
headrail. For wider shades that require 3 or more brackets, these should be
spaced evenly between the two outermost brackets.
Always position the brackets such that there is no interference with the cords
and/or mechanisms inside the headrail. The procedure outlined below will
assure proper bracket placement.
Attaching the brackets:
The shape of head rails and mounting brackets varies by the style of shade.
For style ‘A’ [see illustrations below]: Lift the head rail into position such
that the inner front edge of the headrail slides into the slot at the front of
each bracket. Push the headrail upward until the flexible tab at the bottom of
each bracket snaps onto the back of the headrail. Check carefully to assure
that each bracket is properly secured.
For style ‘B’ [see illustration below]: Lift the Head Rail into position such
that the front edge of the bracket is under the inner front edge of the head
rail, and then push the head rail upwards until the flexible tab at the bottom
of each bracket snaps onto the back of the headrail. Check carefully to assure
that each bracket is properly secured.
For style ‘C’ [see illustration below]: To attach the brackets the locking arm should be facing out. Then position the bracket so that it engages the inner front and outer back of the head rail and then push the locking arm inward to lock it in place.
For Outside Mounting:
Clip the brackets onto the headrail as described above. Hold the shade level
at the height desired and center it over the window opening. Mark the exact
location of each bracket with a pencil. Remove the brackets from the head rail
and position the top of each bracket at the marked location and screw each
bracket into the wall or window molding using the 11/8” screws, pre-drill the
screw holes using a 3/32” drill bit.
For Inside Mounting:
Clip the brackets onto the headrail as described above. Hold the shade in
place and make a pencil mark at the rear of each bracket where it contacts the
inside of the window frame. Remove the brackets from the head rail and align
them with the marks. Attach each bracket using the 11/8” screws, and pre-drill
the screw holes using a 3/32” drill bit.
Step 4. Attach Handle(s)
Attach the Handle to the bottom rail as illustrated. The handle is designed to
minimize contact with the shade fabric. Always raise and lower the shade
SLOWLY(!) to assure that the pleated fabric stacks neatly.
Wider shades have (2) Handles – to precisely determine the correct position
for each handle, divide the total width of the shade by 4, and then attach one
handle that distance from each outside edge of the shade – always grasp both
handles when lifting and lowering the shade.
For TDBU and Day/Night cordless shades, attach the 2nd handle to the Middle
Rail as illustrated.
Step 5. How to Operate
IMPORTANT
Operating & Care Instructions for Cell Shades
READ CAREFULLY
- Make sure that the Handles have been attached to the rail(s) as described above (see Step 4)
- To maintain optimal performance of the springs that make your cordless shade function, lift and lower your shade through its full range of motion – all the way up and down – every day if possible.
- For shades with a single handle, which must be centered on the rail(s), lift or lower the shade slowly and evenly, keeping the rail(s) level, until the shade is positioned as desired.
- For wider shades with a double set of handles, grasp the handles using both hands and lift the shade slowly and evenly, being sure to keep the rail(s) level.
- If you have trouble lifting your cordless shade:
If the shade is left in one position for a long period of time, it might be necessary to lift and lower the shade several times to restore normal function.
If the shade has been fully raised for a long period of time, it might tend to spring back (rebound) slightly from the desired length position. This can also be remedied by lifting and lowering the shade several times.
Standard Shade
Always raise and lower the shade SLOWLY(!) to assure that the pleated fabric
stacks neatly. To lower the shade: grip the bottom rail handle and slowly pull
straight down. To raise the shade, grip the bottom rail handle and push it up
slowly.
Always keep the bottom rail level.
Top-Down Bottom-Up & Day/Night Cordless Shades
To raise and lower the shade from the bottom, follow the directions above. To
lower and raise the shade from the top: grip the middle rail handle and slowly
pull straight down/up.
Step 6. Installing Hold-Down Brackets
Hold-down brackets are provided for optional use. These brackets should be
used only if the shade is to be in a permanently lowered position. With the
shade fully lowered, make pencil marks at the outside ends of the bottom rail.
Brackets should be lined up to the pencil marks and screwed into place using
the 3/8” screws. Insert the pins protruding from the brackets into the holes
on both ends of the bottom rail (see illustration).
Step 7. 2-in-1 Connector for Wide Windows
Connect the Head Rails using the 2-in-1 Connector, as shown.
CLEANING
The vinyl head rail and bottom rail can be wiped clean with a damp sponge. To
clean the shade fabric, use a feather duster or vacuum lightly using the soft
brush attachment.
