SelectBlinds Cordless Honeycomb Shades Installation Guide

SelectBlinds Cordless Honeycomb Shades

Product Information:

The product is a Cordless Honeycomb Shade. It comes with brackets for installation and is designed to fit windows. The brackets are used to securely mount the shade and ensure it hangs correctly. The shade has pleats that may take some time to settle and loosen up when new. The fabric of the blind should be kept free of dust using a vacuum cleaner and any marks or stains can be cleaned with a damp cloth or sponge.

Product Usage Instructions:

1. Locating the brackets:
   • The outermost brackets should be placed 5cm away from the end of the rail.
   • For wider blinds, additional brackets can be evenly distributed across the window space.
   • Use a pencil to mark the window area where the brackets will be positioned.
2. Fitting the brackets:
   • The brackets offer two methods of installation:
   1. Top-Fixing: Use the single hole in the top of the bracket to fix it to the lintel (the ‘ceiling’ of the recess).
   2. Face-Fixing: Use two screws through the back plate to mount it onto a facing surface (a wall or window frame).
3. Fitting the blind:
   • Situate the front lip of the headrail into the front hook of the bracket.
   • Push the back of the headrail upwards to engage the metal clip at the back of the bracket (P1).
4. Additional Information:
   • If the blind appears too short when fitted, leave it lowered for 24 hours to allow the pleats to settle.
   • To help the pleats settle, pull the blind down to its fullest extent and brush your hand vigorously down the pleats from top to bottom. Do not attempt to adjust the cords.
   • Cleaning the blind:
   • Keep it free of dust using the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner.
   • Clean any marks or stains using a damp cloth or sponge.
   • Do not soak the blind fabric as this can cause the pleats to lose their shape.
   • To remove the blind from the brackets:
   • Insert a flat head screwdriver into the tab protruding from the bottom of the rail.
   • Gently pry it back while tilting the back of the rail downwards.
   • Repeat this carefully for each bracket to release the rail.
   • When raising or lowering the shade, use both hands on the bottom bar to ensure it moves evenly.

Locating the brackets

The position that you place the outermost brackets must be 5cm away from the end of the rail. Any additional brackets (supplied for wider blinds) can then be evenly distributed across the window space. Use a pencil to mark the window area where the brackets will be positioned.

Ensure that the back of the bracket sits clear of any protruding items such as window handles or vents. This will allow the blind to hang correctly once installed.

Fitting the brackets

The brackets offer two methods of installation:

• Top-Fixing
  Use the single hole in the top of the bracket to fix to the lintel (the ‘ceiling’ of the recess).

• Face-Fixing
  Use two screws through the back plate to mount onto a facing surface (a wall or window frame)

Fitting the blind

• Situate the front lip of the headrail into the front hook of the bracket.
• Push the back of the headrail upwards to engage the metal clip at the back of the bracket.
  

Additional Information

• If the blind appears too short when fitted, don’t worry, it can take some time for the pleats to settle and loosen up when the blind is new. Leave the blind lowered for 24 hours and you should find that it begins to settle quite quickly. If you want to help it along, you can simply pull the blind down to its fullest extent and brush your hand vigorously down the pleats from top to bottom. Do not attempt to adjust the cords.
• Cleaning the blind is easy; keep it free of dust using the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner, and clean any marks or stains using a damp cloth or sponge. Do not soak the blind fabric as this can cause the pleats to lose their shape.
• To remove the blind from the brackets, insert a flat head screwdriver into the tab protruding from the bottom of the rail, then gently pry it back while tilting the back of the rail down- wards. Repeat this carefully for each bracket to release the rail.
• Please use both hands on the bottom bar to ensure the shade is raised and lowered in parallel. Failure to do so can cause the bottom bar to become uneven.
