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.

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″).
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″).

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.
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 dish-washing 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 the headrail or any fabric-wrapped rail.
ULTRASONIC CLEANING: Standard shades, except those made with Blackout Lining can be ultrasonically cleaned by a professional. · Specify that a mild detergent be used. · Never immerse the headrail or any fabric-wrapped rail in the solution. · Dry the shade completely in the lowered position.
CAUTION: Do not ultrasonically clean Blackout fabrics. Do not immerse headrail. 6
