Step 2. Tools Required
- Screwdriver, tape measure, pencil, drill, drill bits, step ladder.
- Note: use #6 plastic anchors for drywall or plaster mounting (not included).
- Drill Bits: for screws, use a 3/32” drill bit – for wall anchors, follow the maker’s instructions.
Step 3. Bracket Location and Installation
- Your shade may be installed either inside the window frame or outside the window frame.
- A mounting bracket should be positioned about 1” to 6” from each end of the headrail. For wider shades that require 3 or more brackets, these should be spaced evenly between the two outermost brackets. Always position the brackets such that there is no interference with the cords and/or mechanisms inside the headrail. The procedure outlined below will ensure proper bracket placement.
Attaching the brackets
The shape of head rails and mounting brackets varies by style of shade.
For style ‘A’ [see illustration]: Lift the headrail into position such that
the inner front edge of the headrail slides into the slot at the front of each
bracket. Push the headrail upward until the flexible tab at the bottom of each
bracket snaps onto the back of the headrail. Check carefully to ensure that
each bracket is properly secured.
- For style ‘B’ [see illustration]: Lift the Head Rail into position such that the front edge of the bracket is under the inner front edge of the head rail, and then push the head rail upward until the flexible tab at the bottom of each bracket snaps onto the back of the headrail. Check carefully to ensure that each bracket is properly secured.
- For style ‘C’ [see illustration: To attach the brackets the locking arm should be facing out. Then position the bracket so that it engages the inner front and outer back of the head rail, and then push the locking arm inward to lock it in place.
For Outside Mounting
Clip the brackets onto the headrail as described above. Hold the shade level
at the height desired and centre it over the window opening. Mark the exact
location of each bracket with a pencil. Remove the brackets from the head rail
and position the top of each bracket at the marked location and screw each
bracket into the wall or window moulding using the 11/4” screws, pre-drill the
screw holes using a 3/32” drill bit.
For Inside Mounting:
Clip the brackets onto the headrail as described above. Hold the shade in
place and make a pencil mark at the rear of each bracket where it contacts the
inside of the window frame. Remove the brackets from the head rail and align
them with the marks. Attach each bracket using the 11/4” screws, pre-drill the
screw holes using a 3/32” drill bit.
Step 4. Attach Handle(s)
Attach the Handle to the bottom rail as illustrated. The handle is designed to
minimize contact with the shade fabric. Always raise and lower the shade
SLOWLY(!) to ensure that the pleated fabric stacks neatly.
Wider shades have (2) Handles – to precisely determine the correct position
for each handle, divide the total width of the shade by 4, and then attach one
handle that distance from each outside edge of the shade – always grasp both
handles when lifting and lowering the shade.
For TDBU and Day/Night cordless shades, attach the handle(s) to the Middle
Rail as illustrated.
Step 5. How to Operate
IMPORTANT
Operating & Care Instructions for Cell Shades
READ CAREFULLY
- Make sure that the Handles have been attached to the rail(s) as described above (see Step 4)
- To maintain optimal performance of the springs that make your cordless shade function, lift and lower your shade through its full range of motion – up and down – every day if possible.
- For shades with a single handle, which must be centred on the rail(s), lift or lower the shade slowly and evenly, keeping the rail(s) level, until the shade is positioned as desired.
- For wider shades with a double set of handles, grasp the handles using both hands and lift the shade slowly and evenly, being sure to keep the rail(s) level.
- If you have trouble lifting your cordless shade:
If the shade is left in one position for a long time, it might be necessary to
lift and lower the shade several times to restore normal function.
If the shade has been fully raised for a long time, it might tend to spring
back (rebound) slightly from the desired length position. This can also be
remedied by lifting and lowering the shade several times.
Standard Shade
Always raise and lower the shade SLOWLY(!) to ensure that the pleated fabric
stacks neatly. To lower the shade: grip the bottom rail handle and slowly pull
straight down. To raise the shade, grip the bottom rail handle and push up
slowly. Always keep the bottom rail level.
Top-Down Bottom-Up & Day/Night Cordless Shades
- To raise and lower the shade from the bottom, follow the directions above. To lower and raise the shade from the top: grip the middle rail handle and slowly pull straight down/up.
Adjusting an Unlevel Bottom Rail
Should the rail become uneven, pull the shade down, and then push it all the
way up before setting it at the desired height.
Step 6. Installing Hold-Down Brackets
Hold-down brackets are provided for optional use. These brackets should be
used only if the shade is to be in a permanently lowered position. With the
shade fully lowered, make pencil marks at the outside ends of the bottom rail.
Brackets should be lined up to the pencil marks and screwed into place using
the 3/8” screws. Insert the pins protruding from the brackets into the holes
on both ends of the bottom rail (see illustration).
CLEANING
- The vinyl head rail and bottom rail can be wiped clean with a damp sponge.
- To clean the shade fabric, use a feather duster or vacuum lightly using the soft brush attachment.
