keep reading.
Fitting the brackets
The brackets offer three methods of installation:
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 of the 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 firmly 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 than the
blind, with additional end returns to cover the brackets. Use the ‘L’ shaped
plastic brackets from your fittings pack, slotting the return into one side
and the other onto the end of the pelmet.
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.
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.
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 center 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.
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.
