Installation Instructions for
Fabric Roman Shades
with Cordless Controls
Congratulations on
the purchase of your new
Fabric Roman Shade with
Cordless Controls!
It is recommended that Fabric Roman Shades
be vacuumed periodically with a drapery
hose attachment.
Professional cleaning is recommended for all
Fabric Roman Shades. A professional drapery
cleaner may be found in the yellow pages or
on the internet.
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. Children
can climb furniture to get to cords.
• Do not tie cords together. Make sure cords
do not twist together and create a loop.
• Attach tension device to wall or floor. This
can prevent children from pulling cords and
bead chains around their necks. Fasteners
provided with the tension device may not
be appropriate for all mounting surfaces. Use
appropriate anchors for the mounting surface
conditions.
• Do not remove looped cord from cord shroud.
Care and Cleaning
Warning
!
Releasing a Locked Shade
Dressing the Shade
A shade may become stuck in the down
position if pulled with excessive force.
To release if locked in the down position:
If the adjustment wheel is
on the LEFT, turn it 1/4 of a
turn in this direction.
If the adjustment wheel is
on the RIGHT, turn it 1/4 of
a turn in this direction.
Steaming the Shade
Like every fabric
treatment, a brand
new window fashion
right out of the box
may have wrinkles.
Many of the wrinkles will simply hang out after
a few days. However, for best results, we
recommend steaming your shade once it is
installed.
If a professional steamer is unavailable, a
standard iron with a steam button will work
just as well.
Dressing the Shade
Part of the beauty of a fabric shade is the
folding of the pleats. Often, a pleat on a new
shade will fold in an unusual way.
Once the shade is raised, a little dressing
of the pleats (pulling them into the desired
position) may be necessary.
