VALANCE INSTALLATION
Make sure the valance clips have been attached to the
headrail as noted in "Blind Installation".
BLIND INSTALLATION
NOTE: If the bracket interferes with any of the working parts,
the incorrect holes of the end mount bracket may have been
selected.
• If you ordered the blind
with a valance, snap the
valance clips to the front
of the headrail before
installing the blind. The
valance clips should be
spaced equidistant from
the end brackets and each
other to allow proper
support for the entire
valance. Make sure that
the Valance Clips do not
interfere with any moving
parts. You will install the
valance slat after the blind
is in place.
• If you have not already done so unwrap the cellophane
from around the blind stack. Caution: DO NOT cut the
cellophane as the cords or ladders supporting the blind may
be inadvertently cut.
• Be sure the hinged end
brackets are in the open
position.
• Hook the front edge of
the headrail onto the lip
of the center support
bracket(s), if applicable.
Insert the headrail into the
end brackets, making sure
that no cords or slats are
in the way.
• Close the hinges on the
end brackets until you
hear them “snap.”
• While supporting the bottom of the blind, unwind the draw
cords and gently lower the blind to its full length. (See
“Operating the Blind”.)
VALANCE RETURN
NOTE: If you did not order valance returns for your blind,
proceed to “Valance Installation” below.
• Apply a thin coat of glue
to the mitered end of
both the valance and the
valance returns.
CAUTION: Do not get glue on the painted/stained surface of
the valance. Avoid contact with skin.
• Join the ends of the valance returns with the valance by
pressing the mitered edges together firmly for 60 seconds.
• Repeat this procedure for the other end of the valance.
• Allow the glue to dry for at least 10 minutes before installing
the valance. Proceed to “Valance Installation” below.
• Center the valance on the headrail.
• Insert the top edge of the
valance into the top lip of
the valance clips. Using a
downward rolling motion,
gently push the bottom
edge of the valance into
the valance clips until
you hear the valance
“snap” into place.
