2. Step 2: Tools Required

Gather the following tools: pencil, tape measure, level, screwdriver, pliers, step stool, and drill.

1. Step 3: Installation
   • Inside Mounting: Position one bracket about 2 to 6 inches from each end of the head rail. For wider shades requiring 3 or 4 brackets, evenly space them between the outermost brackets. Attach each bracket to the inner top of the window opening using the provided screws.
   • Outside Mounting: Attach the brackets to the head rail first by pressing on the plastic tabs at the front of each bracket. Then loosen the nut and bolt, and adjust the mounting brackets forward or backward as desired.
2. Step 4: Securing the Head Rail

Slide the inner rear of the head rail onto the metal tabs at the back of each bracket. Push up until the brackets snap onto the head rail.

1. Step 5: Attach Handle

Attach the clear plastic handle to the center of the bottom rail.

1. Step 6: Properly Secure Brackets

Pull the plastic tab on the front of each bracket outward toward the front of the shade to lock the brackets in place. For inside mounts, use pliers to grasp the tabs. Ensure that each bracket is properly secured.

1. Step 7: How to Operate

If the shade has been left in one position for a long time, lift and lower it several times to restore normal function. If the shade has been fully raised for a long period, it might rebound slightly from the desired length position. This can be remedied by lifting and lowering the shade several times.

1. Cleaning Instructions

To clean the shade fabric, use a feather duster or lightly vacuum using a soft brush or upholstery attachment. For spot cleaning, use warm (not hot!) water with mild soap to damp clean.

Step 2. Tools Required
Pencil, tape measure, level, screw driver, pliers, step stool, drill.

Step 3. Installation

• Your blind may be installed either inside the window frame or outside the window frame.
• Wallboard or Plaster: use wall anchors. Concrete, Stone, Brick: use a masonry drill bit and anchors or screws specifically designed for masonry (not included). Inside Mounting:
• One bracket should be positioned about 2” to 6” from each end of the head rail. For wider shades that require 3 or 4 brackets, these should be spaced evenly between the two outermost brackets.
• Attach each bracket to the inner top of the window opening using the screws provided. Pre-drill the screw holes using a 5/64” drill bit. The extension brackets are not used for inside mounts.
• For flush inside mounts, attach the brackets to the head rail first (see drawings and attachment instructions below), and then position the shade in the window opening as desired. Then make pencil marks at the back of each bracket. Remove the brackets by pressing on the plastic tab. Align the brackets with the pencil marks, and then screw them in place as described above.

Outside Mounting:

• Attach the Extension Brackets to the wall or window framing. One bracket should be positioned about 2” to 6” from each end of the head rail. For wider shades that require 3 or 4 brackets, these should be spaced evenly between the two outermost brackets.
• Pre-drill the screw holes using a 5/64” drill bit.
• The brackets must be level – use a Spirit Level if necessary to assure proper alignment.
• Then attach a Mounting Bracket to each Extension Bracket using the nut and bolt pre-attached to each Extension Bracket.
• To adjust head rail extension, remove the shade from the mounting brackets by pressing on the plastic tabs at the front of each bracket.
• Then loosen the nut and bolt, and move the mounting brackets forward or backward as preferred.

Step 4. Securing the Head Rail

• Slide the inner rear of the head rail onto the metal tabs at the back of each bracket, and then push up so that the brackets snap onto the head rail.

IMPORTANT FINAL STEP TO PROPERLY SECURE BRACKETS:

• pull the plastic tab on the front of each bracket outward toward the front of the shade to lock the brackets in place. For inside-mounts use pliers to grasp the tabs. Check carefully to assure that each bracket is properly secured

Step 5. Attach Handle

• Attach the clear plastic Handle to the center of the bottom rail as illustrated.

Step 6. How to Operate

IMPORTANT

• Operating & Care Instructions for Cordless Shades

READ CAREFULLY

• To maintain optimal performance of the springs that make your cordless shade function, lift and lower your shade through its full range of motion – all the way up and down – frequently.
• Be sure the handle is centered on the bottom rail – lift or lower the shade slowly and evenly, keeping the rail level, until the shade is positioned as desired.
• If you have trouble lifting your cordless shade:
• If the shade is left in one position for a long period of time, it might be necessary to lift and lower the shade several times to restore normal function. If the shade has been fully raised for a long period of time, it might tend to spring-back (rebound) slightly from the desired length position. This can also be remedied by lifting and lowering the shade several times.

CLEANING

• To clean the shade fabric, use a feather duster or vacuum lightly using the soft brush or upholstery attachment. For spot cleaning, use warm (not hot!) water with a mild soap to damp clean.

Set the UP position:

• Move the shade 6” to 10” below the desired upper limit by pressing the UP or DOWN arrows/buttons on the remote. Press the PROGRAM button on the back of the remote – the motor will oscillate – this puts the motor in program mode. Now move the shade up to the desired UP position and press the program button again – the motor will oscillate and the upper limit is now set.
