Fitting
Fitting the brackets
The brackets offer three methods of installation:
-
Where the brackets are screwed into the lintel (or ‘ceiling’ of the recess)
-
Where the brackets are screwed into the side walls of the recess
-
Where the brackets are screwed onto a facing surface (a wall or window frame)
-
Wider blinds will be supplied with support brackets. These should be positioned towards the centre of the window area in-line with the box brackets. Make sure that the position of the support bracket is clear of any cords coming out of the headrail. Support brackets can be top-fixed or face-fixed.
-
For safety reasons, always ensure that the top ofthe blind is installed at least 150cm (1500mm)from the floor.
Fitting the blind
If you are fitting the blind inside a recess, go to step 3 before step 2.
- Lift the blind to the window and slot the headrail into the open brackets. Swing the hinged section of the bracket closed and press fir mly until it locks.
Top Tip:
If you pull the cords to tilt the blind but the slats do not move:
- Make sure the slats are open and that the tilt cords are both the same length.
- Stack the blind up tightly and lock it off, then take it down from the brackets.
- Push the metal rod inside the headrail all the way over to the left, so that it is connected to the tilting mechanism.
Fitting the pelmet
Hook the pelmet clips over the front of the headrail, spaced out evenly.
Push the pelmet into the clips until it snaps into place.
Pelmets for ‘Exact Fitting’
If you’ve ordered ‘exact fitting’ then the pelmet will be sent wider and
mitred at the ends, with additional end returns to cover the brackets. Use the
‘L’ shaped metal brackets from your fittings pack and attach the side returns
to the pelmet using the screws provided.
Child Safety
Cord Condenser
A breakaway cord condenser is pre-fitted to the lift cords so that when a
horizontal force is applied to the cords above the condenser, it safely breaks
away, eliminating any hazardous loops.
If the cord condenser is pulled apart:
- Untwist the cords so that they’re nice and straight.
- Slot the cords into the channel in the centre of one-half of the condenser. If your condenser differs slightly from the diagram, don’t worry, just slot any cords that aren’t already tied into place inside in the same way.
- Click the two halves back together, ensuring there is no loose thread trapped at the edges of the condenser.
Top Tip:
- The design of the condenser can vary, so don’t worry if yours doesn’t look exactly like the illustration. Both designs do the same job and clip back together in the same way.
WARNING:
- Young children can be strangled by loops in pull cords, chains, tapes and inner cords that operate the product.
- To avoid strangulation and entanglement, keep cords out of the reach of young children. Cords may become wrapped around a child’s neck.
- Move beds, cots and furniture away from window covering cords.
- Do not tie cords together. Make sure cords do not twist and create a loop
Cord Safety Cleat
The safety cleat shall be installed as close to the headrail as possible and in all cases not less than 1500mm from the floor. The cord must be fully accumulated around the safety cleat(s) when the blind is not in use. Use the table below to determine the distance required between the cleats to fully accumulate the cords when the blind is fully raised.
- Place the safety cleat in the desired position on the wall and mark the positions of the holes with a pencil.
- Mark the hole positions and drill as required. Use the screws provided to attach the safety cleat to the wall.
- Wrap the cords around the cord cleats in a figure of 8. When the cords are fully accumulated, ensure they are secure so that when any cord is pulled, no excess cord is released.
