PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN
BASICS
BRACKET INSTALLATION
Be aware that it is possible for children to
strangle in window covering cords. To
reduce the occurrence of accident,
all cords must be kept out of the
reach of children, including infants.
Cord cleats are an effective way to
implement this essential precaution.
Mount the cord cleat at a safe
height, taking into account furniture
or other objects upon which a child
may climb. Then, after each use of
the shade, simply wrap the excess
cord around the cleat. It’s fast, easy
and safe.
To protect your children, we are pleased to
provide cord cleats free of charge with every
shade that we manufacture.
CLEANING AND CARE
The shade fabric is easy to care for. Regular dusting
with a feather duster or vacuum cleaner brush is recommended. Most stains can be blotted
sponge and mild detergent. For problem stains, the
shade can be removed from the installation brackets and soaked in warm water. When damp, raise
shade tightly to re-crisp pleats. Before using anything stronger than mild detergent and lukewarm
water, test an unobtrusive corner of the shade. If
you have any questions, call your dealer for advice.

TOP-DOWN/BOTTOM-UP
AND DAY-NIGHT SHADES
INSTALLATION
& OPERATING
A few simple tools are required:
n Measuring tape
n Power drill, drill bits
n Hex head and/or Phillips driver bit
n Pencil
Additional fasteners other than those sent with your
shade may be required depending on the mounting
surface. Wallboard and plaster require the use of
anchors such as expansion or toggle bolts. Brick, tile
or stone need special plugs and drill bits. Remember
to always pre-drill holes in wood to avoid splitting.
Bugle Head or Dry Wall
Screw only for Shallow
Mount back holes
Hold Down Bracket
(Optional)
Our Top-Down/Bottom-Up and Day-Night shades are constructed to be hung as either an Inside Mount or an
Outside Mount. The Installation Bracket can be mounted
inside the window opening, for an inside mount, or on the
molding or wall above the window for an outside mount.
The Extension Bracket and the Hold Down Bracket are
optional items requested at the time of ordering the shade.
The Extension Bracket provides projection of the
Installation Bracket in order to clear obstructions. The Hold
Down Bracket keeps the shade from swaying and is often
used for installation on door windows.

Shades are shipped with the required number
of brackets for proper installation. End brackets should
be located with centerlines 2 1/2" in from each end.
Depending on the width of the shade, additional brackets may be necessary evenly spaced between the two
end brackets.

Using the Installation Bracket as a template, measure and
mark the center lines. When mounting brackets, make
sure they are in line and level.
On shades 84" to 96" wide it is recommended to
use a second bracket located next to the end
bracket at the Cord Lock.

6. Hook one bracket onto the screw in the window frame,
using the keyhole slot. Bring the other end bracket
over the screw at the other side of the frame. Slide
down, flexing bracket inward until the screw engages
in the keyhole slot.
7. Make sure both brackets are slipped down all the
way in the keyhole slot so that the screw is in the
top portion of the keyhole slot. Install a screw in
the bottom hole of each bracket. Tighten all
screws.
OPTIONAL HOLD DOWN BRACKET
Optional Hold Down Brackets are mounted with
the supplied screws. With the shade at its proper
drop, place the pin of each Hold Down into the
hole in each End Cap and mark the screw holes.
Make sure the pins
are level and aligned.
Raise the shade,
then screw the Hold
Down Bracket into
the mounting
surface.
HOW TO OPERATE YOUR SHADE
On a standard Top-Down/Bottom-Up shade, the right
hand cord operates the middle rail, while the left hand
cord operates the bottom rail.
SIDE MOUNT BRACKET INSTALLATION
1. Line up the bracket top
with the desired height
of the top of the headrail.
2. Mark holes for
screws. Brackets
must be level.
Remove brackets
and drill holes.
3. Insert bugle head
screws for keyhole
slots only.
Approximately
1/8" of the screw
should be left protruding.
4. Pull the cord
lock assembly
partially out of
the headrail
and slide the bracket on as shown. Push the cord
lock as assembly and bracket back all the way
into the rail.
Remove the endcap from the opposite end of the

CORDLOCK OPERATION
To raise or lock either the middle rail or bottom rail
of the shade, pull the cord down and inward to the
center of the shade.
NOTE: When raising the
middle rail all of the way
to the head rail, you
should raise the bottom
rail a couple of inches.
This will prevent pinching
the equalizer between the
rails.
To lower or release either
the middle rail or bottom
rail of the shade, pull the
cord directly downward in the vertical position to
release the lock.
Pull cord down, raising Bottom Rail to lower
Equalizer so it will not get caught between the
Head Rail and the Middle Rail. Do this prior to raising the Middle Rail.
