Step 2. Tools Required
Screwdriver, tape measure, pencil, drill, step ladder, scissor.
Note: use #6 plastic anchors for dry wall or plaster mounting (not included).
Drill Bits: for screws, use a 3/32″ drill bit – for wall anchors, use 1/4″
drill bit.
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
head rail. 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 mechanisms inside the
head rail. The procedure outlined below will assure proper bracket placement.
For Outside Mounting:
Clip the brackets onto the head rail as described above (see Section 4 for
details about attaching the brackets). Hold the shade level at the height
desired and center 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 molding using the 1” screws, predrill the screw holes using a
5/64” drill bit.
For Inside Mounting:
Clip the brackets onto the head rail as described above (see Section 4 for
details about attaching the brackets). 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
11/8” screws, predrill the screw holes using a 5/64” drill bit.
Step 4. Securing the Head Rail
Lift the head rail into position such that the inner front edge of the head rail slides into the slot at the front of each bracket. Push the head rail upward until the flexible tab at the bottom of each bracket snaps onto the back of the head rail. Check carefully to assure that each bracket is properly secured.
Step 5. Attach Handle / How to Operate
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 assure that the pleated fabric
stacks neatly.
To lower the shade: grip the bottom-rail/handle and slowly pull straight down.
To raise the shade: put one hand under the bottom rail (palm facing up) and
lift slowly until the desired height is reached.
To maintain optimal performance of the springs which make your cordless shade
function, lift and lower your shade slowly through its full range of motion
every day if possible.
If you have trouble lifting your cordless shade:
If the shade is left in one position for a long period of time, it might be
necessary to lift and lower the shade several times to reset the springs and
restore normal function.
CLEANING YOUR SHADES
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.
