VALANCE INSTALLATION
1. Make Sure the slats are evenly spaced inside the valance.
2. On the back of the valance, locate the notches
approximately 4" in from each end. If extension brackets
are used, the notch will be further from the end.
3. At the notch, bend the return at one end of the valance
all the way over to crease (See Figure B1) and then back
halfway to form a 90° angle. (See Figure B2)
4. Repeat for the other end of the valance.
5. Install the valance per the "Inside Mount Vlance
Instructions" provided above.
Make sure the valance clips have been attached to the
headrail as noted in "Blind Installation".
1. Insert the top of the
valance into the top lip of
the valance clips.
2. Gently lift the top lip
of the valance clip and
snap the middle into the
center lip of the valance
clips. (See Figure A)
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.
NOTE: The outside Contempo Valance requires the return
ends to be formed into position. To do this:
• 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 doors
on the brackets are in the
open position.
• Slide the headrail into the
mounting brackets until
the front of the bracket
hooks under the inside
front part of the headrail.
• Close the hinged doors on
the brackets.
• 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”.)
