Fitting the brackets

Top-Fixing

Where the brackets are screwed into the lintel (or ‘ceiling’ of the recess)

Top-Fixing

The brackets offer three methods of installation:

Side-Fixing

Where the brackets are screwed into the side walls of the recess

Face-Fixing

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 center 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. blinds 2go Faux Wooden Blinds - Top Fixing3

For safety reasons, always ensure that the top of the blind is installed at least 150cm (1500mm) from the floor.

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. blinds 2go Faux Wooden

Fitting

Pelmets for ‘Exact Fitting’
If you’ve ordered ‘exact fitting’ then the pelmet will be sent wider and mitered 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.

Cord Condenser

Child Safety

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.

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.

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 the 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.

Drop of blind	*Distance between cord cleats(center to center)
1-1000mm	100mm
1001-2000mm	150mm
2001-3000mm	300mm

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.
