MOUNTING TYPES AND WINDOW TERMINOLOGY

If the installation brackets are mounted correctly, the rest of the installation process follows easily. To prepare for this important first step, review the mounting types and basic window terminology illustrated below.

Window Components Terminology

• Collectively, the sill and jambs are called the “window casement” or “frame”.
  

Inside Mount

• Shade fits within window opening.
• Great for windows with beautiful trim.

Outside Mount

• Shade mounts outside window opening.
• Increased light control and privacy.

INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

• If installing several sets of shades, be sure to match them with the appropriate window.
• Check the installation surface to ensure that you have suitable fasteners and tools.
• Lay out and organize all parts and components.
• Proper shade direction during installation:

GETTING STARTED

INSIDE MOUNT (IM)

STEP 1: MARKING THE BRACKET LOCATIONS

IMPORTANT: Before marking bracket locations, ensure that your bracket placement will not interfere with any components inside the head rail.

• Verify that your window casing has a minimum depth of 1 ½” which allows for a partially recessed headrail mount.
• If flush mount (fully recessed mount) is desired, a minimum mounting depth of 2 1 ⁄2″ is required.
• Place brackets at either end of inside mount frame.
• Mark 1–2″ from each jamb for bracket location.
• With a pencil, mark the longer, oblong drill hole locations through the top of the holes of the bracket, 2 holes per bracket.
  

STEP 2: INSTALLING THE BRACKETS

• Pre-drill screw holes using a 1 ⁄16″ drill bit (wood and metal mounting surfaces only) using pencil marks as a guide.
  • If installing brackets into wood, use supplied screws.
  • If installing into drywall, use anchors in combination with supplied screws.
• While holding the bracket in place, secure the bracket with screws, 2 screws per bracket.
• Ensure all brackets are square with each other.
  

INSTALLATION

STEP 1: MARKING THE BRACKET LOCATIONS

IMPORTANT: The brackets must be flush against a flat mounting surface. Do NOT mount brackets on curved molding.

• Center the headrail over the window opening at the desired height.
• Mark screw locations for each end bracket, 2 holes per bracket.
  • Use a level to ensure all brackets are aligned.
    

STEP 2: INSTALLING THE BRACKETS

  • If installing brackets into wood, use supplied screws.
  • If installing into drywall or other, use anchors in combination with supplied screws.

• On the other side of shade, press in the spring loaded end plug and secure into opposite bracket.
  • Shade is secure when spring clicks into bracket.
• Slide bracket end caps over brackets for a finished appearance.
  • The wider end cap covers the spring end plug side bracket.
  • The narrower end cap covers the bead chain side bracket.
    

CAUTION: Be sure the bracket and headrail are properly secured before operating the shade. Failure to do so may result in the shade falling and possible injury.

CONTINUOUS CORD LOOP CORD TENSION DEVICE

• Continuous Cord Loop Shades will arrive with the tension device mounted to the shade.
• Use the included screws to secure the hold-down tension device to the mounting surface, ensuring that the cord loop is taut.
• SEE WARNING LABEL ON SHADE

Install the Tension Device

IMPORTANT: Before you proceed, you must first slide the cord tensioner to the bottom of the cord loop.

• Insert a small screwdriver, punch, or awl through the screw hole at the bottom of the cord tensioner.
• Move the screw hole down to the indicator line to release the safety mechanism.
• Slide the cord tensioner down to the bottom of the cord loop.
• Attach the cord tensioner according to the instructions provided with the Universal Cord Tensioner Installation Kit.

WARNING: It is imperative that the cord tensioner be properly secured to the wall or window frame to reduce children’s access to the cord loop.
Young children can strangle in cord loops. They can also wrap cords around their necks and strangle.

CAUTION: The shading will not operate properly unless the cord tensioner is secured. A universal Cord Tensioner Installation Kit has been included with your shading. Follow the instructions in the kit to correctly secure the cord tensioner.

INSTALLATION – ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS

HOLD-DOWN BRACKETS (optional)

• Ideal for doors, hold-down brackets prevent shade from swaying. Assemble as shown to each side of bottom rail.
• Position hold-down brackets against wall/frame, mark screw hole locations.
• Screw into marked hole locations.
  

OPERATION

CONTINUOUS CORD LOOP

• Pull the rear cord of the cord loop to lower the shade to the desired height.
• Pull the front cord of the cord loop to raise the shade to the desired height.

WARNING: If the tension device moves up the cord, you have not secured the tension device to the wall or window frame. You must do so for the shade to operate properly and to help protect young children from accidental strangulation.

REMOVING THE SHADE

• Fully raise the shade.
• Locate clear, plastic locking ring on spring-loaded end plug.

CLEANING AND CARE

CLEANING PROCEDURES
All LEVOLOR Roller Shades have multiple cleaning options.

NOTICE: Avoid contact with window cleaning products. Improper cleaning may void warranty.

DUSTING
Use a feather duster for regular cleaning.

FORCED AIR
Blow away dirt and debris using clean compressed air.

PROFESSIONAL INJECTION/EXTRACTION CLEANING
Call local on-site blind/shade cleaner that injects a cleaning solution into the fabric and extracts the dirty solution at the same time. The service is typically performed at home so you do not need to remove your window treatments.

VACUUMING
Use a low suction vacuum with a brush-type cleaner attachment; stroke lightly over the shade to clean.

SPOT-CLEANING/STAIN REMOVAL AT HOME
Use warm water and a mild soap, like Woolite® or Scotchgard®, if needed. Do not immerse shade in water.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

• Do not lower the shade past the ordered length. (If it is lowered beyond the limit, the tube underneath the roller will be exposed and fabric damage could occur.).
