Mounting Types

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

Bracket Installation

Installation brackets may be used for INSIDE or OUTSIDE mounts.
Mounting the brackets level is essential for proper operation of the shade. Shim the brackets if necessary to achieve a level alignment.
The bracket requirements and placements are the same for inside and outside mounts. Refer to the following spacing diagram and bracket requirement chart.

Installation brackets attached to extension brackets with the included screws and nuts.
Use the same holes for all brackets to ensure even projection from the surface.

Side Mount

1. Align the bracket top with the desired height of the top of the head rail. Mark holes for screws, remove brackets and drill holes.
2. Insert screws for keyhole slots only. Approximately 1/8” of the screw should be left protruding.
3. Pull the end cap out of the headrail and slide the bracket on as show. Replace the end cap and then slide the bracket all the way into the headrail.

Install the second bracket in the same manner as the first bracket.
Hook one bracket onto the screw in the window frame, using the keyhole slot. Bring the other end bracket over the screw at the other side of the frame. Slide down, flexing bracket inward until the screw engages in the keyhole slot.
Make sure both brackets are slipped down all the way in the keyhole slot so that the screw is in the top portion of the keyhole slot. Install a screw in the bottom hole of each bracket. Tighten all screws.

Installing the Shade

MOUNT THE HEADRAIL

1. Hold the shade up near the brackets and insert the front clip of the bracket into the front groove of the rail.
2. Make sure the shade is centered in the window opening.
3. Push the rail back and up until the back clips of the bracket are inserted in the back of the rail.

To REMOVE shade, reverse procedure. As you release the brackets, support the head rail to keep it from falling.

Adjusting the Shade

1. Raise and lower the shade several times.
2. If the length is incorrect or the bottom rail is not level, use the following steps to correct.

BOTTOM RAIL SHADE ADJUSTMENT

1. Lift bottomrail on the side to be adjusted. This will take the weight off the cord.
2. Use a screwdriver or dime.
   • Turn screw clockwise to lift that side of the shade.
   • Turn screw counter clockwise to lower that side of the shade.
   • Half a revolution is 1/4” adjustment (maximum adjustment is 1/2”).

INTERMEDIATE RAIL SHADE ADJUSTMENT

1. Lift intermediate rail on side to be adjusted. This will take the weight off the cord.
2. Use a screwdriver or dime.
   • Turn screw clockwise to lift that side of the rail.
   • Turn screw counter clockwise to lower that side of the rail.
   • Half a revolution is 1/4” adjustment (maximum adjustment is 1/2”).

Installing Hold Down Brackets (Outside Mount Only)

ATTACH THE (optional) HOLD DOWN BRACKETS:

1. Lower the shade and place the hold down pins into the bottom rail end caps.
2. Mark the hold down bracket locations on the mounting surface.
3. With the brackets level, attach them using two screws.

Cordlock Operation

BOTTOM UP ONLY

• To lower or release shade, pull the cord inward toward the center of the shade.
• To raise or lock the shade, pull the cord straight down and outward toward the edge of the shade.

TOP DOWN – BOTTOM UP
On a standard top down – bottom up, the right hand cord operates the middle rail, while the left hand cord operates the bottom rail.

• To lower or release either the middle rail or bottom rail of the shade, pull the cord inward toward the center of the shade
• To raise or lock either the middle rail or bottom rail of the shade, pull the cord straight down and outward toward the edge of the shade.

Note: Before raising the middle rail all the way to the head rail, you should raise the bottom rail a couple of inches. This will prevent pinching the equalizer between the rails.

Cord Cleats

Be aware that it is possible for children to strangle in window covering cords. To reduce the occurrence of an accident, all cords must be kept out of reach of children, including infants. Cord cleats are an effective way to implement this essential precaution.

• Mount the cord cleat at a safe height, taking into account furniture or other objects upon which a child may climb.
• Then, after each use of the shade, simply wrap the excess cord around the cleat. It’s fast, easy and safe.

To protect your children, we are pleased to provide cord cleats free of charge upon request.

CARE AND CLEANING

Honeycomb shades are made of an anti-static, dust resistant fabric which repels dirt and dust. For most of these fabrics, the following options are available if your shade needs cleaning.
DUSTING: Regular light dusting with a feather duster is all the cleaning that is needed in most circumstances.
VACUUMING: Use a hand-held vacuum with low suction for more thorough dust removal.
SPOT CLEANING: Use the following steps for spot cleaning: (1) Prepare a solution of warm water and mild dishwashing detergent. (2) Dampen a clean cloth in the solution and ring it out. (3) Dab the spot with the dampened cloth until it is gone. DO NOT RUB THE FABRIC. (4) Allow the shade to dry in the completely lowered position.
CAUTION: Avoid creasing Blackout fabrics during cleaning.
DEEP CLEANING: Use the following steps for deep cleaning: (1) Immerse shade in basin or bathtub filled with warm water and mild detergent. (2) Rinse with clean water. (3) Fully raise shade and tilt to eliminate excess water, (4) Reinstall damp shade, lower it, and let it dry completely.
CAUTION: Do not immerse Blackout fabrics. Do not immerse Cordless Lift & Lock bottomrail in water.
ULTRASONIC CLEANING: Standard shades, except those made with Blackout or Blackout Lining can be ultrasonically cleaned by a professional.

• Specify that a mild detergent be used.
• Never immerse the headrail in the solution.
• Dry the shade completely in the lowered position.

CAUTION: Do not ultrasonically clean Blackout fabrics. Do not immerse headrail in water.

CHILD SAFETY

Young children can STRANGLE in cord loops and in the loop above the cord stop. They can also wrap cords around their necks and STRANGLE.

• Always keep cords out of children’s reach.

• Move cribs, playpens and other furniture away from cords.
  Children can climb furniture to get to cords.

• Do not tie cords together.

• Make sure cords do not twist together and create a loop.

WARNING
Rev. 5/18
Window Blind Cord Can STRANGLE Your Child.
To prevent strangulation, purchase cordless products or products with inaccessible cords.
To further reduce hazards, this shade was built with a cord connector which was designed to break apart when force is applied from the top.
If your cord connector should happen to break apart, follow the instructions below to reassemble:

1. When the connector is open, each side has a cord coming in at the top, one side has a cord coming in from the bottom.
2. Fit the Bottom edges together. The side with the cord fits into the side without the cord.
3. Swing the top ends together and press in the middle to fully connect.

SAFETY LABELS
In compliance with WCMA/ANSI safety standards the warning labels on the bottom rail are designed to be permanent. DO NOT remove the permanent warning label on the bottom rail. This assures that future owners of this product will be aware of potential dangers associated with this shade.

CAUTION: The shade will not operate properly unless the cord tensioner is secured. A cord tensioner installation kit has been included with your shade.

CORDLESS LIFT SHADES
TO RAISE AND LOWER THE SHADE:

1. Hold the handle in the center portion of the bottomrail to ensure level movement.
2. Shades over 42” in width will have 2 handles evenly positioned within hands reach along the center portion of the bottomrail to ensure level movement.
3. Lower the shade by gently pulling downward to the desired position.
4. Raise the shade by gently pushing upward to the desired position

Adjusting the Shade

• Raise and lower the shade several times.
• If the length is incorrect or the bottom rail is not level, use the following steps to correct.

BOTTOMRAIL SHADE ADJUSTMENT

1. Lift bottomrail on the side to be adjusted. This will take the weight off the cord.
2. Use a screwdriver or dime.
   •Turn screw clockwise to lift that side of the shade.
   •Turn screw counter clockwise to lower that side of the shade.
   • Half a revolution is 1/4” adjustment (maximum adjustment is 1/2”).

TROUBLESHOOTING
THE SHADE WILL NOT SNAP INTO THE INSTALLATION BRACKETS.

• Check that the installation brackets are aligned and level.

THE SHADE IS HARD TO RAISE OR LOWER, OR WILL NOT RAISE OR LOWER.

• Shades cannot be forced into tight inside mount window openings. If an inside mount, check that the shade is installed correctly.
  Make sure there is clearance between the ends of the shade and the window casement.

• Check that the installation brackets are level. Shim to level, if necessary.

• If hold-down brackets are used, make sure they have been released.

• Make sure the fabric is not caught.

THE SHADE RAISES OR LOWERS UNEVENLY OR THE BOTTOM RAIL IS UNEVEN.

• Check that the window is square by measuring the diagonals.
• Check that the installation brackets are level. Shim to level, if necessary.
• Adjust the cords under the bottom rail (see “Adjusting The Shade” on page 6).

THE CORD TENSIONER GRABS ONTO THE CORD UPON OPERATION.

• Check that the cord tensioner is mounted properly. Reinstall, if necessary. Refer to the Universal Cord Tensioner Installation Instructions included with your cord loop shade.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING CORDLESS SHADE OPERATION.

• Daily operation of shade will ensure that it performs at its optimal level.
• If the shade is in the lowered position for an extended period of time, extra care needs to be taken when raising the shade. The fabric will relax and may resist lifting. This is a natural occurrence with all fabric shades. When lifting, you may notice the billowing (falling out) toward you. This is temporary and can be corrected by slowly raising the shade completely and then operating several times. This allows the fabric to go back to its pleated state, and the shade will operate as designed.
• If shade has been in the fully raised position for an extended period of time, it may have a tendency to “spring back” above the desired length of the shade. This is temporary and can be corrected by completely raising the shade and operating several times.
• Operating the shade with the handle(s) provided is recommended so that the shade is balanced when raising and lowering.
• Motorized Shades – see Operating Instructions Guide included with shade/remote control.
