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 headrail. The procedure outlined below will assure proper bracket placement.

For Outside Mounting
Clip the brackets onto the headrail 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 headrail 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.

Securing the Head Rail
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.

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 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: 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 that 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 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.
