WARNING

Young children can STRANGLE in cord and bead
chain loops. They can also wrap cords around their
necks and STRANGLE.

• Always keep cords and bead chains out of
children’s reach.

• Move cribs, playpens, and other furniture
away from cords and bead chains. Children
can climb furniture to get to cords.

• Do not tie cords together. Make sure cords
do not twist together and create a loop.

• Always ensure that inner cord stop devices
are within 6 inches (153 mm) of the head
rail when the blind is in the fully lowered
position. See adjustment instructions.

Step 2. Tools Required

Pencil, tape measure, level, screw driver, step stool, drill.

Step 3. Installation
Wallboard or Plaster: use anchors specifically designed for
hollow walls (not included).

Concrete, Stone, Brick: use a masonry drill bit and anchors or
screws specifically designed for masonry (not included).

For Outside Mounting:

One bracket should be positioned about 2” to 6” from each end
of the head rail. For wider shades that require 3 or 4 brackets,
these should be spaced evenly between the two outermost
brackets. The brackets must not interfere with the cord guides or
cord lock or in any way impede the movement of the lift cords –
therefore, we recommend that you hold the shade in place and
mark the desired bracket locations with a pencil.

The brackets must be level – use a Spirit Level if necessary to assure
proper alignment.
Pre-drill the mounting holes using a 5/64” drill bit, then screw the
brackets in place.
Place the head rail on top of the brackets – center the shade over
the window opening – then mark the location of each mounting hole
on the head rail. Pierce the fabric at the hole locations using the tip
of a screw, then pre-drill the mounting holes using a 5/64” drill bit.
Attach the shade to the brackets using the 3/4” screws provided.

For Inside Mounting:

Mounting holes are pre-drilled in the Head Rail. Screw the 1-1/4”
screws into the head rail until the tips of the screws extend very
slightly beyond the top of the head rail. Align the front of the
shade with the front edge of the window opening (or position as
desired), making sure that the shade is centered in the window
opening – then push up on the head rail so that the screw heads
leave tiny impressions in the top of the window frame.

Now, use the impressions as a guide and pre-drill the mounting
holes using a 5/64” drill bit – then screw the shade in place.

Step 4. Install the Tension Device – FOR CONTINUOUS LOOP
CORD CONTROL SHADES ONLY!

The tension device reduces the hazards of
strangulation and entanglement of young
children or pets by limiting access to the
control cord. Anchor the Tension Device
that is attached to the shade’s control
cord, to the window frame or wall, so
that young children cannot pull the cord
around their necks.

Lower the shade, and then position the
Tension Device on the window frame or
the wall so that the Tension Device and
control cord do not interfere with raising
and lowering the shade.

The Tension Device should be installed
without stretching or pulling down on the
control cord. Stretching the control cord will cause excessive
wear. Do not twist or cross the control cord. Mark the screw
hole locations with a pencil, then pre-drill the screw holes using a
3/32” drill bit.

For hollow dry wall installation, use wall anchors (not included).

Step 5. How to Operate

STANDARD CORDED SHADES:

To raise or lower the shade, pull the lift cord slightly to release the
cord lock. Adjust the shade to the desired height, and then move the
lift cords slightly toward the outside of the shade to lock in place.

CONTINUOUS LOOP CORDED SHADES:

To raise or lower the shade, pull the lift cord slowly & fluently.

TOP-DOWN/BOTTOM-UP SHADES :

The right side cord controls bottom up/down function. The left
side cord controls top down/up function.

Care Instructions

The packaging and shipping of soft treatments frequently results in
minor wrinkling of the fabrics used.
There are different characteristics and handling needs for the
variety of fabrics offered in this program.
Please refer to the descriptions below for guidance on how to
remedy minor wrinkles upon delivery.
First, allow all items to hang for a few days so wrinkles relax and
begin to fall out.

Silk fabrics:

• Natural irregularities give the fabric its unique and desired
character. The appearance of slubs, nubs, loops and barre
ridges are universally accepted as normal and should not be
considered defects.

• If necessary, steam silk to remove stubborn wrinkles. Please
note that a good quality steamer is needed so water spots
won’t form from water spitting out from the steaming device.

Rayon/Poly blends:

• If necessary, steam rayon/poly to remove stubborn wrinkles.
Please note that a good quality steamer is needed so water
spots won’t form from water spitting out from the steaming
device.

100% Polyester:

• If necessary, steam polyester or gently iron on a low heat
setting to remove stubborn wrinkles. 100% Polyester fabrics
release wrinkles easily. Steam or iron on the Polyester /
Synthetic Fabrics setting (Low), but be aware that Polyester will
melt if the iron is too hot.

Cotton/Poly blends:

• If necessary, gently iron on a Blended Fabric (Medium)
