their necks and strangle.

CAUTION: The shade will not operate properly unless the cord tensioner(s)
is secured. A Universal Cord Tensioner Installation Kit has been included
with your shade. Follow the instructions in the kit to correctly secure the
cordtensioner(s).

Cord Adjustment — UltraGlide® Shades Only

Adjusting the tassel to eye level will decrease the amount of pulls needed to raise and lower
theshade. This will also enhance child and pet safety.

frosted body).

■ Squeeze the tassel cover with your thumb and forefinger

(at the “s” in the HunterDouglas logo).

■ Separate and slide the tassel cover off from the tassel body.

■ Pull out the knotted end of the tasselcord.

■ Tie the cord at the desired shorter length using a double knot.

■ Trim the tassel cord below the knot.

■ Pull the trimmed knot up inside the tassel.

■ Squeeze the tassel cover while sliding it back onto the tassel body.

IMPORTANT: After reassembling, be sure there are no gaps between the two components.

OPERATION

To Lower:

Pull the cord

toward the

center, click

and release.

Allow the cord to retract between strokes.

To stop the shade while lowering, move the cord
back toward the vertical position and give a slight
downward pull, engaging the locking mechanism.

UltraGlide® Shades

CAUTION: To avoid damage to the shade or personal injury, do not let go of the cord until it is
fully retracted.

To Lower the Shade:

■ Pull the cord toward the center of the shade

at a 45° angle. A locking mechanism at the
top of the cord releases with a “click”. The
shade automatically lowers as you allow the
cord to retract, releasing the tension.

■ To stop the shade while lowering, move the

cord back toward the vertical position and
give a slight downward pull, until the locking
mechanism engages.

■ If the shade hits an obstruction as it is lowered, it will stop and the internal cords may

become misaligned. This may cause the shade to be angled or tilted when fully raised. If this
occurs, do the following:

➤ Raise the shade slightly.

➤ Lower the shade completely to the sill. In some cases, pull gently on the bottom rail to

get it to drop completely.

IMPORTANT: If the shade is tilted when fully raised, do not pull harder on the cord. It does
not correct the tilt and may make it worse. See “Troubleshooting” starting on page13.

NOTE: On inside mount shades, the bottom rail and fabric folds may rest on the sill.

To Lower:

Pull the cord

toward the

center, click

and release.

To stop the shade while lowering, move the cord
back toward the vertical position and give a slight
downward pull, engaging the locking mechanism.

To Raise the Shade:

■ Pull the cord straight down using short

evenstrokes.

➤ With each stroke the shade partially raises.

➤ Allow the cord to retract after each

downward stroke.

➤ Use multiple strokes until the shade

reaches the desired position.

™

NOTE: Tiered

UltraGlide shades stop below

the first fold in the fuly raised position to provide clearance for cord operation.

Top-Down/Bottom-Up Shades:

■ Theleft cord controls the bottom rail. Theright cord controls the middle rail.

IMPORTANT: You must first lower the bottom rail before lowering the middle rail. Likewise,
you must first raise the middle rail before raising the bottom rail.

Troubleshooting

Problem The shade is hard to raise or lower, or will not raise or lower.

Solution Check that the headrail and installation brackets are level and aligned in the

window. Level the headrail by shimming the installation brackets, if necessary.

Make sure the fabric is not caught in the installationbrackets.

Check that the headrail is properly aligned in the installation brackets, see
“Install the Shade” on page 8.

Check that the fabric is not caught in the brackets.

Problem The front fabric appears to cling to the back fabric.

Solution Lightly apply a static spray for home furnishings. Follow the manufacturer’s

directions. If necessary, reapply the static spray each time the shade is
professionally cleaned. Allow the shade to dry in the fully lowered position.

OPERATION

Problem EasyRise™ shades only: The universal cord tensioner has climbed to the

headrail.

Solution Pull down on the spring to relieve tension and pull the

universal cord tensioner to the bottom of the cord loop.
Properly mount the cord tensioner. See “Attach the
Universal Cord Tensioner — EasyRise Shades Only”
on page 9 and/ or the instructions included with
your Universal Cord Tensioner Installation Kit.

Problem EasyRise shades only: The shade raises at different rates when the cord is

pulled.

Solution Depending on the size and weight of the shades, the clutch ratios may be

different. More cord travel is required with larger shades than with smaller
shades. This is completely normal, and not a defect of the product.

Problem The shade raises or lowers unevenly, or the bottom rail is uneven when fully

raised.

Cleaning Procedures

Vignette® Modern Roman Shades are made of an anti-static, dust-resistant fabric which repels
dirt and dust. For most fabrics, the options below are available if your shade needs cleaning.

Dusting

■ Regular light dusting with a feather duster is all the cleaning needed in most circumstances.

Vacuuming

■ Use a hand-held vacuum with low suction for more thorough dust removal.

Compressed Air / Hair Dryer (Cool Setting)

■ Blow dirt and debris from within the fabric folds using clean, compressed air.

Spot-Cleaning

■ Prepare a solution of warm water and mild detergent.

■ Dampen a clean cloth in the solution and wring it out.

■ Place a dry, clean cloth behind the spot between the face fabric and the back fabric.

■ Dab the spot with the dampened cloth until it is removed. Non-oil-based baby wipes may be

used on more stubborn stains. Do not rub the fabric.

■ Allow the shade to dry in the completely lowered position.

15

CARE

Ultrasonic Cleaning

Vignette® Modern Roman Shades can be ultrasonically cleaned by a professional.

CAUTION: Do not ultrasonically clean the headrail, midrail, or bottom rail fabric; or any room­darkening shades.

■ Specify that a mild detergent solution be used.

■ Never immerse the fabric-covered headrail or bottom rail into the solution.

■ Allow the shade to dry in the completely lowered position.

Injection / Extraction Cleaning

Vignette Modern Roman Shades can be cleaned by a professional using the injection/extraction
method of deep cleaning.

CAUTION: Do not use the injection/extraction method of deep cleaning on the headrail or
bottom rail fabric.

■ Specify the dry cleaning method only.

■ Pretreat heavy stains.

Steaming

CAUTION: Do not steam the headrail, midrail, or bottom rail fabric.

■ Steam the face fabric from the bottom to the top, making sure to get steam under each

fabric fold. Be careful not to saturate the fabric with steam.

■ Allow the shade to dry completely before raising it.

A Note on Textiles

As with all textiles, Vignette fabrics are subject to some inherent variations in the fabric weave.
Subtle dye-lot variations, puckering, or wrinkling fall within textile industry standards and should
be considered as normal, acceptable quality. Additionally, there will be slight differences in
pattern alignment from the fabric on the rails to the fabric of the shade, which do not detract
from the product’s appeal.

Variations in color and or pattern are unique characteristics that contribute to the classic beauty
of theshade.

CHILD SAFETY

For more safety information call 1-888-501-8364
in the U.S. or 1-866-662-0666 in Canada.

WARNING

Warning

■ Young children can STRANGLE in cord loops. They can also wrap cords around

their necks and STRANGLE.

■ Always keep cords out of the reach of children.

■ Move cribs, playpens and other furniture away from cords. Children can climb

furniture to get to cords.

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

Cord Loop Shades

■ Attach the cord tensioner on the cord loop to the wall or window

casement. See “Attach the Universal Cord Tensioner (UCT)” on
page 9. This can prevent children from pulling cord loops around
their necks.

■ Hunter Douglas provides a cord tensioner installation kit with

instructions for attaching the cord tensioner. For the shade to
operate properly, the cord tensioner must be correctly mounted
and secured.

■ Fasteners provided in the cord tensioner installation kit may not

be appropriate for all mounting surfaces. Use appropriate anchors
for the mounting surface conditions.

■ Only Hunter Douglas supplied cord tensioners and hardware

should be used. Replacement parts may be obtained by
contacting theHunter Douglas Customer Information Center
at 1-888-501-8364.

NOTE: The warning labels on the bottom rails of corded window coverings contain
important safety information. These warning labels are designed to be permanent, in
accordance with the industry’s safety standards, and must not be removed.

■ Add 1/2" to the ordered height (found on the label

inside the headrail), and measure that total distance
from the floor.

➤ Position the top of the brackets at this height for

the minimum recommended 1/2" floor clearance.

➤ Add more to the ordered height if more floor

clearance is desired.

■ Center the headrail over the window opening at the marked height. Use a pencil to lightly

mark each end of the headrail.

➤ Alternatively, measure the width of the headrail. Use this width to mark the headrail end

points over the window opening.

➤ If a side stack shade was measured to accommodate for the stackback, position the

headrail so that the window remains completely uncovered when the shade is in the fully
opened position.

NOTE: Be sure that when the shade is drawn fully closed, the window is completely
covered.

■ Mark 2" from each end of the headrail.

OPERATION

Operate the Shade

For better support and smoother operation, as well as to avoid soiling the fabric, use the
handle(s) when opening and closing the shade. If handles were ordered for the secondary rail(s),
both the primary moving rail(s) and the secondary rail(s) can be used to position the fabric panel
anywhere along its travel with any degree of closure.

NOTE: With a split stack shade, each panel operates independently.

■ To operate the shade, simply use the handle(s) to slide the vertical rail(s). Allow the shade to

stack evenly.

Test Operation

■ Open and close the shade several times.

■ If the shade does not operate smoothly or if the vertical rail(s) do not hold their position, see

Cleaning Procedures

Hunter Douglas Vignette® Modern Roman Shades are made of an anti-static, dust-resistant
fabric that repels dirt and dust. For most fabrics, the following cleaning options are available.

Dusting

■ Regular light dusting with a feather duster is all the cleaning needed in most circumstances.

Vacuuming

■ Use a hand-held vacuum with low suction for more thorough dust removal.

Compressed Air / Hair Dryer (Cool Setting)

■ Blow dirt and debris from within the fabric folds using clean, compressed air.

Spot-Cleaning

■ Prepare a solution of warm water and mild detergent.

■ Dampen a clean cloth in the solution and wring it out.

■ Place a dry, clean cloth behind the spot between the face fabric and the back fabric.

■ Dab the spot with the dampened cloth until it is removed. Non-oil based baby wipes may be

used on stubborn stains. Do not rub the fabric.

■ Allow the shade to dry in the completely closed position.

23

CARE

Injection/Extraction Cleaning

Vignette® Modern Roman Shades can be cleaned by a professional using the injection/extraction
method of deep cleaning.

CAUTION: Do not use the injection/extraction method of deep cleaning on the headrail or
vertical rail fabric.

■ Specify the dry cleaning method only.

■ Pre-treat heavy stains.

Steaming

CAUTION: Do not steam the headrail or vertical rail fabric.

■ Close the shade.

■ Steam the face fabric from the bottom to the top, making sure to get steam between each

fabric fold. Be careful not to saturate the fabric with steam.

■ Allow the shade to dry completely before opening it.

A Note on Textiles

As with all textiles, Vignette fabrics are subject to some inherent variations in the fabric weave.
Subtle dye-lot variations, puckering, or wrinkling fall within textile industry standards and should
be considered as normal, acceptable quality. Additionally, there will be slight differences in
pattern alignment from the fabric on the rails to the fabric of the shade. Pattern alignment is
not guaranteed with split stack applications. These characteristics do not detract from the
product’s appeal.

Variations in color pattern are unique characteristics that contribute to the classic beauty of
the shade.
