Step 2. Tools Required

Note: use #6 plastic anchors for dry wall or plaster mounting.
Step 3. Bracket Location and Installation
Your blind may be installed either inside the window frame or
outside the window frame.
A mounting bracket should be positioned about 1” to 3” 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 mechanisms inside the head rail. The
procedure outlined below will assure proper bracket placement.

Blind
For Outside Mounting:
Clip the brackets onto the head rail as described above. Hold the
blind 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, pre-drill the
screw holes using a 4" drill bit.

For Inside Mounting:
Clip the brackets onto the head rail as described above. Hold
the blind 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 1” screws, pre-drill the
screw holes using a 4" drill bit.
Step 4. Securing the Head Rail
Lift the head rail into position such that the front edge of each
bracket is under the inner front edge of the head rail. 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.
Always rotate the slats to the “open” horizontal position before
raising or lowering. This assures smooth operation and increases
the life of the blind.
To lower blind: Grip the Bottom-Rail/Handle and slowly pull
straight down.
To raise blind: Put one hand under the Bottom Rail (palm facing
up) and lift with a slow steady tempo until the
desired height is reached.
To tilt the slats: Lower and raise the handle slowly. This is a
learned technique, but takes only a few seconds
to master

attachment. Washing: use a cloth, sponge or soft brush and a mild
detergent.
Use warm or cold water, not hot water. Place toweling on the
floor and/or window sill and wash the blind in sections. Smaller
blinds can be washed in a sink or tub; blinds can also be gently
hose washed outdoors. Rinse off suds thoroughly. Drain the head
rail and bottom rail; remove end caps if necessary. Towel dry to
avoid water marks. To have your blinds cleaned professionally,
check the local telephone directory for a venetian blind cleaning
service or laundry.
