Locating the brackets
The position in that you place the outermost brackets must be 5cm away from the end of the rail. Any additional brackets (supplied for wider blinds) can then be evenly distributed across the window space. Use a pencil to mark the window area where the brackets will be positioned. Ensure that the back of the bracket sits clear of any protruding items such as window handles or vents. This will allow the blind to hang correctly once installed.
Fitting the brackets
The brackets offer two methods of installation:
Use the single hole in the top of the bracket to fix the lintel (the ‘ceiling’ of the recess).
Use two screws through the back plate to mount onto a facing surface (a wall or window frame)
Fitting the blind
Situate the front lip of the headrail into the front hook of the bracket.
Push the back of the headrail upwards to engage the metal clip at the back of the bracket.
Additional Information
If the blind appear too short when fitted, don’t worry, it can take some time for the pleats to settle and loosen up when the blind is new. Leave the blind lowered for 24 hours and you should find that it begins to settle quite quickly. If you want to help it along, you can simply pull the blind down to its fullest extent and brush your hand vigorously down the pleats from top to bottom. Do not attempt to adjust the cords.
Cleaning the blind is easy; keep it free of dust using the brush attachment of
a vacuum cleaner, and clean any marks or stains using a damp cloth or sponge.
Do not soak the
blind fabric as this can cause the pleats to lose their shape.
To remove the blind from the brackets, insert a flat head screwdriver into the
tab protruding from the bottom of the rail, then gently pry it back while
tilting the back of the rail downwards. Repeat this carefully for each
bracket to release the rail.
