Fitting the brackets
The brackets offer two methods of installation:
| Use the single hole in the top of the bracket to fix to the lintel (the
‘ceiling’ of the recess).
---|---
| Use two screws through the back plate to mount onto a facing surface (a wall
or window frame)
| The outermost brackets should be mounted at least 5cm in from the ends of
the blind. Any remaining brackets can be spaced evenly across the width of the
blind.
| For safety reasons, always ensure that the top of the blind is installed at
least 150cm (1500mm) from the floor.
Fitting the blind
| Situate the front lip of the headrail into the front of the bracket.
---|---
| Push the back of the headrail upwards to lock it into the back of the
bracket.
| To release the blind from the brackets at any point after installing, push
firmly against the blind’s headrail to disengage it from the front of the
bracket. At the same time, twist the back of the headrail downwards to release
it from the back.
Child Safety
Cord Condenser
A breakaway cord condenser is pre-fitted to the lift cords so that when a horizontal force is applied to the cords above the condenser, it safely breaks away, eliminating any hazardous loops.
Top Tip
The design of the condenser can vary, so don’t worry if yours doesn’t look
exactly like the illustration. Both designs do the same job and clip back
together in the same way.
If the cord condenser is pulled apart:
- Untwist the cords so that they’re nice and straight.
- Slot the cords into the channel in the centre of one half of the consenser. If your condenser differs slightly from the diagram, don’t worry, just slot any cords that aren’t already tied into place inside in the same way.
- Click the two halves back together, ensuring there is no loose thread trapped at the edges of the condenser.
WARNING
Young children can be strangled by loops in pull cords, chains, tapes and
inner cords that operate the product.
To avoid strangulation and entanglement, keep cords out of the reach of young
children. Cords may become wrapped around a child’s neck.
Move beds, cots and furniture away from window covering cords.
Do not tie cords together. Make sure cords do not twist and create a loop.
Cord Safety Cleat
The safety cleat shall be installed as close to the headrail as possible and in all cases not less than 1500mm from the floor. The cord must be fully accumulated around the safety cleat(s) when the blind is not in use. Use the table below to determine the distance required between the cleats to fully accumulate the cords when the blind is fully raised.
Drop of blind| *Distance between
cord cleats (centre to centre)
---|---
1-1000mm| 100mm
1001-2000mm| 150mm
2001-3000mm| 300mm
| Place the safety cleat in the desired position on the wall
and mark the positions of the holes with a pencil.
---|---
| Mark the hole positions and drill as required. Use the
screws provided to attach the safety cleat to the wall.
| Wrap the cords around the cord cleats in a figure of 8.
When the cords are fully accumulated, ensure they are
secure so that when any cord is pulled, no excess cord is
released.
