INSTALLING YOUR SHADE:
NOTE:
For wallboard or plaster, use anchors as designed for hollow walls
(not included). For concrete, stone and brick, use a masonry drill bit and
anchors designed for masonry (not included).
STEP 1:
INSTALL BRACKETS
FOR OUTSIDE OR WALL MOUNT:
1. Your shade will have come with pre-drilled holes
for the mounting brackets. Hold the shade in
the desired location for installation and then
mark the bracket locations with a pencil, so that
the screw posts of the brackets will fit through
the pre-drilled holes.
2. Check with a level that the bracket locations
are straight.
3. Mark the screw holes for the brackets with
a pencil and then pre-drill pilot holes into the
mounting surface. Next, screw the brackets
into place.
[Figure 1]
STEP 2:
INSTALL SHADE
Hold the shade so that the screw posts on the
brackets fit through the slots in the head rail
and re-attach wing nuts and screw tight to hold
the head rail firmly. Ensure that the shade is
level.

STEP 3:
INSTALL THE CORD CLEAT
If your shade is fitted with a cord lock, you will
have been supplied with a cord cleat,
which
must be installed to prevent the risk of
strangulation to young children and pets.
1. Find a convenient place about 1 inch out
from the side of the shade where the cords
are located and about one quarter of the way
up from the bottom of the shade.
2. Hold the cord cleat parallel with the frame of
the window. With a pencil, make a mark
through the holes.
3. Make pilot hole and install cord cleat with 2
screws.

All products are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the
date of purchase, provided that the product is installed according to the product instructions. We reserve the
right to determine if your piece warrants repair or partial replacement of any parts. In the unlikely event that
the entire piece is defective, we will replace this window covering with a new window covering of equal or
superior value; this shall be your sole remedy under this warranty.
Who and what is covered by this warranty:
The original customer in a residential application within the United States is covered under this warranty;
proof of purchase is required. Removal, installation or re-installation of any window covering is not covered
under this warranty. This warranty does not cover damage or defects caused by or resulting from improper
maintenance, neglect or improper use, abuse, misuse, neglect, accidents, acts of god, alteration, commercial
use, installation, removal or re-installation or exposure to excessive moisture.
Your rights under State Law:
This warranty gives you the specific legal rights. You may also have other rights, which may vary from state

or for any other direct or
indirect damage, loss, cost, expense or fee. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental
or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you
THIS WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS, LIABILITIES, OR
WARRANTIES.
AWARNING:
Young children can strangle in cord and
bead chain loops.They can also wrap cords
around their necks and strangle.
• Always keep cords and bead chains out of children's reach.
• Move cribs, playpens and other furniture away from cords and
bead chains as children can climb furniture to get to cords.
• Attach a cord tension device or cord guide to the wall. This can
prevent children from pulling cords and bead chains around their necks.
OPERATING YOUR SHADE:
CORDED SHADES
Your shade is operated by a lift cord and cord lock, which allows the shade to
stay in whatever position you desire.
For shades with valances and cords in front, move the cord to the middle of
the shade to release the cord lock and to the outside of the shade to engage
the cord lock and lock the shade in place.
For shades without valances and cords behind, move the cord to the outside
or the shade to release and to the middle of the shade to engage the cord lock
and lock the shade in place.
After operating the shade always wrap the cord around the cord cleat to
prevent the cord becoming a strangulation hazard.
Your shade is provided with a breakaway cord tassel,
which collects the lift cords into one tassel for ease
of use and a cleaner, tidier look.
[Figure 4]
This tassel is also a safety device to make sure cords
do not become tangled and create a hazardous loop.
If weight is applied to the cords above the tassel
it is designed to break into two halves, to prevent
a strangulation hazard.
If the tassel should break apart, it can easily be
snapped back together again.
CORDLESS SHADES
Figure 4
Your shade has no lift cords on the front and the lift cords on the back are
operated by a spring system under the head rail.
When installing the shade, make sure that the cords run free of any obstruc
tions or the installation brackets. Rubbing against a bracket or any obstruction
will cause the cords to fray and break over time.
Operate your shade by pulling down firmly on the handle or tassel. For wide
shades use both hands to make sure the shade is lowered evenly.
To raise the shade use both hands beneath the bottom of the shade and lift
the shade up manually. The spring system will hold the shade in place where
you release it, but the shade will not raise on its own.
TROUBLE-SHOOTING CORDLESS SHADES:
If the shade is not raising evenly, check that all the cords are not obstructed
and lower the shade fully. Then raise with both hands. If this does not solve
the problem, contact your dealer.
If the shade does not stay at the desired position when released, contact
your dealer.
If a cord breaks or comes untied, contact your dealer.
