INSTALLATION
OPERATION
Removing the Shade (If Necessary)
Raise the shade completely before removing it.
■
Remove the valance fabric or dust cover. Carefully peel the hook-and-loop material from its attachment on the valance
headboard or headrail.
■
Support the headrail so that it does not fall. Push up on the headrail and use your finger or a flat blade screwdriver to release
the bottom tab, as shown.
■
Pull the headrail straight out from the installation brackets.
Dressing Kirsch Roman Shades
NOTE:
As with all textiles, the fabric on your Roman shade(s) is subject to some inherent variations. Slight dye-lot variations,
puckering or wrinkling are within textile industry standards and should be considered normal.
■
After installation:
Allow shades to hang fully lowered for a few days to let wrinkles fall out.
■
“Dressing” refers to easing the fabric into soft folds across the shade to create a uniform appearance.
■
If a shade is left in the raised position with the folds dressed for an extended period, the folds may retain their shape over
time, and may require less dressing.
Cleaning Procedures
The following options are available for cleaning your shade:
Dusting
■
Light dusting with a feather duster is usually all the cleaning needed.
Vacuuming
■
Vacuum on low suction for dust removal.
Steaming
■
