INSTALLATION

INSIDE MOUNT (IM)

STEP 1: MARKING THE BRACKET LOCATIONS

• Position the box brackets at the end of each headrail to confirm the dimensions. Depending on the installation location, box brackets can be attached using the top, back, or side holes.
• Position the center support bracket (if included) in the center, if using only one. If more than one center support bracket is included, space them evenly along the headrail.
• Mark the location of the desired bracket mounting holes, two per bracket, making sure they are square and equally spaced.

STEP 2: INSTALLING THE BRACKETS

• Drill pilot holes using a 1⁄16″ drill bit using pencil marks as a guide. Depending on the installation location, box brackets can be attached using the top, back, or side holes.
• While holding the brackets in place, secure the brackets using two screws per bracket.
• Ensure all brackets are square with each other.

STEP 3: INSTALLING THE BLIND

• Align the headrail with the brackets, tilt the mechanism facing out.
• Slide the headrail straight back into the brackets.
• If the headrail can slide from side to side in the box brackets, use a flat-head screwdriver to bend out the tabs on the ends of the headrail until it is snug.
• If center support bracket(s) are included, hook the front edge of the headrail into the channel on the bracket.
• Lower the front of each box bracket and press until the locking tab clicks into place.

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

OUTSIDE MOUNT (OM)

STEP 1: MARKING THE BRACKET LOCATIONS

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

• Position the box brackets at each end of the headrail
• Position the center support bracket (if included) in the center if using only one. If more than one center support bracket is included, space them evenly along the headrail.
• Use a level to ensure all brackets are even and aligned. Mark the bracket mounting hole locations, two per bracket, making sure they are square and equally spaced.

STEP 2: INSTALLING THE BRACKETS

• IMPORTANT: Use drywall anchors when mounting into drywall (not provided).
• IMPORTANT: The rear of the brackets must be flush against a flat mounting surface. Do NOT mount brackets on curved molding.

INSTALLING ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS

CORDED CORD CLEAT
Refer to Cord Cleat Installation Instructions included with the cord cleat for the proper way to install the cord cleat.

WARNING: Always wrap the cords around the cleats in a figure eight, up high, out of reach of children. Young children can STRANGLE in cords. They can also wrap around their neck and STRANGLE.

EXTENSION BRACKETS (optional)

• Optional extension brackets offer clearance for obstructions.
• Outside mounting extension brackets will provide 2–4″ clearance between the headrail and the mounting surface. Assemble the extension bracket as shown.
• Secure an extension bracket to each standard mounting bracket.

SPACER BLOCKS (optional)

• Outside mounting spacer blocks will provide an additional 3⁄8″ clearance as shown.
• If spacers are used, longer screws may be required to ensure a secure installation (not provided).

CAUTION: Do not use more than one spacer block. Using more than one spacer block could cause the blind to fall resulting in possible injury.

HOLD-DOWN BRACKETS (optional)

• Ideal for doors, hold-down brackets prevent the blind from swaying. Assemble as shown to each side of the bottom rail.

TILT WAND (on some styles)

• Pull up the sleeve on the tilt mechanism
• Clip the end of the wand onto the tilt mechanism and pull down the sleeve on the tilt mechanism
• Rotate the tilt wand in each direction to ensure proper operation.

OPERATION

ATTACH VALANCE

• Locate the valance clip location indicators on the backside of the valance that read “Clip Here.”
• Insert the clips into the groove on the backside of the valance. Rotate so that the end marked “TOP” arrow is pointing up.
• For returns, insert an L-shaped return clip into the groove on the backside of the valance return. Align and insert the other end of the L-shaped return clip into the groove on the backside of the valance.
• Align the clips with the slots on the bottom of the headrail and clip them into place.

CORDED
NOTE: Tilt and Lift cords may be located on the left or right side of the product depending on what was selected when ordering.
NOTE: Wand tilt is the standard/default tilt feature, tilt cords are available as an option.

• To raise the blind pull cord in toward the center of the blind to release the lock; this allows you to raise and lower the blind. Once the blind is at the desired height, pull the cord away from the center to lock into position.
• To tilt the slats open or closed, pull the tilt cords up and down to reach the desired position.

CORDLESS

• To raise the blind, firmly press and hold the LEVOLOR button located on the bottom rail and lift the blind to the desired position. Once desired position is reached, release grip on the button to lock the blind in place.
• To tilt slats open and closed, rotate the tilt wand to achieve the desired position.

UNINSTALL

REMOVING THE BLIND
First, make sure that the blind is fully raised. Unlock and lift the front clips of each end box bracket and slide the headrail out of the brackets. If center support brackets are used, lift the front of the headrail up to clear the channel of the bracket and slide out forward.

CAUTION: Hold blind firmly when removing. Failure to do so may result in the blind falling and possible injury.

CLEANING AND CARE

CLEANING PROCEDURES
Keep your LEVOLOR Wood and Faux Wood blinds looking their best by periodically wiping them with a soft cloth, a duster, or the brush attachment from a vacuum cleaner.

NOTICE: Avoid contact with window cleaning products. Improper cleaning may damage the blind and void the warranty.

CHILD SAFETY

• STRANGLE a young child.
• Inner cord stop devices can reduce this risk if positioned correctly on the pull cords.
• If inner cord stop devices are more than 6 inches (153 mm) below the headrail when the blind is fully lowered, move them closer by following the inner cord stop device adjustment instructions.

To position safety cord-stops

1. Install blinds as directed by the manufacturer, making sure the headrail is securely fastened. Lower blind to the maximum desired length and lock into place.
2. Measure the distance from headrail to cord-stops. If cord-stops are 1 – 2″ below the headrail, no further adjustment is needed. Your blinds are ready to use.
3. If cord-stops ARE NOT 1 – 2″ below the headrail, loosen (but do not untie) the knot surrounding the cord-stop.
4. Push the cord-stop and the loosened knot toward the headrail until the cordstop is 1 – 2″ below the headrail.
5. Hold the cord-stop in place and firmly pull the cord to re-tighten the knot.
6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for each cord stop.
