Product Information

The product is a cordless lifestyle mini blind. It comes with a limited lifetime warranty for the original residential retail purchaser. The warranty covers the entire product against manufacturing defects, including flaws in design, materials, or workmanship that cause the product to malfunction. Cords, including internal cords, are covered for 3 years, and all fabric is covered for 5 years. The warranty does not cover damage caused during shipping.

Product Usage Instructions

To report shipping damage, contact the place of purchase within 7 calendar days.
If you suspect a manufacturing defect, locate the sales receipt and call the place of purchase. Unauthorized returns will not be accepted.
If a manufacturing defect is confirmed, the company will provide one of the following remedies at their discretion.
For installation, check the package contents and contact 800-264-1190 if any parts are missing.
Use the provided mounting hardware kit, which includes mounting brackets, valance clips, hold-down brackets, and screws.
Gather the necessary tools: screwdriver, tape measure, pencil, drill, drill bits, and step ladder. Note that #6 plastic anchors may be required for drywall or plaster mounting (not included).
Decide whether to install the blind inside or outside the window frame.
Position a mounting bracket about 1 to 3 inches from each end of the headrail. For wider shades that require more brackets, space them evenly between the two outermost brackets.
Ensure that the brackets do not interfere with the mechanisms inside the headrail. The front edge of each bracket should go under the inner front edge of the head rail, and the flexible tab at the bottom of each bracket should snap onto the back of the headrail.
Lift the headrail into position, making sure that the front edge of each bracket is under the inner front edge of the headrail. Push the headrail upward until the flexible tab at the bottom of each bracket snaps onto the back of the headrail. Check carefully to ensure that each bracket is properly secured.

Tools Required

bits, step ladder.

Bracket Location and Installation

Your blind may be installed either inside the window frame or outside the window frame. A mounting bracket should be positioned about 1” to 3” 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 mechanisms inside the headrail. The front edge of each bracket goes under the inner front edge of the headrail – the flexible tab at the bottom of each bracket snaps onto the back of the head rail.

The procedure outlined below will assure proper bracket placement.

For Outside Mounting:
Clip the brackets onto the headrail as described above. Hold the blind 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 1¼” screws. Predrill the screw holes using a 5/64” drill bit.

For Inside Mounting:
Clip the brackets onto the headrail as described above. Hold the blind 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 1¼” screws. Pre-drill the screw holes using a 5/64” drill bit.

Securing the Head Rail

Lift the head rail into position such that the front edge of each bracket is under the inner front edge of the head rail. Push the head rail 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.

How to Operate

To lower blind:
Grip the center of the Bottom-Rail and slowly pull straight down.

To raise blind:
Put one hand under the center of the Bottom Rail (palm facing up) and lift with a slow steady tempo until the desired height is reached.

To tilt the slats:
Rotate the wand to attain desired slat position.

CLEANING YOUR BLINDS

Dusting: use a soft cloth, feather duster or vacuum gently using the soft brush attachment.

Caution:
any aluminum slat can and will bend; careful handling is a must.

Washing:
Use a cloth, sponge, or soft brush and a mild detergent. Use warm or cold water, not hot water. Place toweling on the floor and/or window sill and wash the blind in sections. Smaller blinds can be washed in a sink or tub; blinds can also be gently hose-washed outdoors. Rinse off the suds thoroughly. Drain the head rail and bottom rail; remove end caps if necessary. Towel dry to avoid water marks. To have your blinds cleaned professionally, check the local telephone directory for a Venetian blind cleaning service.
