HOLD-DOWN BRACKETS (OPTIONAL)
• Lower the shade with the vanes fully
expanded and place the pins from the
hold-down brackets into the bottom
rail end caps.
• Position the pin at the TOP of the slot
and then mark the bracket hole
location.
• Check that the brackets are level
and aligned. Attach using two screws.
REMOVE THE SHADE
• Using a cloth-covered, flat blade
screwdriver, push up on the front tab
of the mounting bracket to release
the front of the headrail.
• Rotate the headrail downward and
out from the bracket.
CARE AND CLEANING
Convertible shades are made of an anti-static, dust-resistant fabric
which repels dirt and dust. The following options are available if your
shade needs cleaning.
Dusting
Regular light dusting with a feather duster is all the cleaning that is
needed in most circumstances.
Vacuuming
Use a hand-held vacuum with low suction for more
thorough dust removal.
Spot-Cleaning
• Prepare a solution of warm water and mild dishwashing detergent.
• Dampen a clean cloth in the solution and wring it out.
• Dab the spot with the dampened cloth until the spot is gone. Do not
rub the fabric fabric.
• Allow the shade to dry in the completely lowered and expanded
position.
Ultrasonic Cleaning
Convertible shades, except those made with light-dimming fabrics,
can be ultrasonically cleaned by a professional.
• Specify that a mild detergent solution be used.
• Never immerse the headrail in the solution.
• Allow the shade to dry in the completely lowered and expanded
position.
Injection/Extraction
Convertible shades can be professionally cleaned using the
injection/extraction method (On-Site cleaning).
• A dry method of injection/extraction is required for light dimming
fabrics.
CHILD SAFETY
Install Tension Device
The tension device reduces the hazards of strangulation and
entanglement of young children by limiting access to the control cord.
Anchor the Tension Device that is attached to the blind’s control cord,
to the window frame or wall, so that young children cannot pull the
cords around their necks.
A. Lower the blind.
B. Hold the Tension Device upright and position the device using one
of the three methods shown.
C. Position the Tension Device so that the Tension Device and the
control cord do not interfere with raising or lowering the blind. The
Tension device should be installed without stretching or pulling down
on the control cord. Stretching the cord will cause excessive wear. Do
not twist or cross the control cord.

Front of
Shade
PROBLEM
One or several vanes are
pushed in (concaved).
The lift cords appear
loose or wavy.
The shade is fully
lowered, but the vanes
seem to hang unevenly.
SOLUTION
Use your hands to
manually push the vane
out.
Operate the cord loop
until any slack is taken
up, and the cords appear
taut. The ‘wavy’
lines
should disappear.
If the vanes do not open
and close uniformly,
“toggle” the cord loop by
alternately pulling on the
front and back cords in
rapid succession.
