Step 4. CHILD SAFETY
The American National Standard for Safety of Corded Window
Covering Products (ANSI) requires the use of a cord tie down (cord
tensioner) on all continuous loop cord systems. The use of such a
device is intended to significantly reduce the occurrence of infant or
small child strangulation injuries or deaths resulting from the looped
pull cords on various window treatment products.
Cord Tensioner Installation
Your window shade has arrived with the cord
tensioner positioned near the head rail to
comply with current WCMA child safety
standards. The cord tensioner must be
mounted and secured before the window
shade will operate correctly. To position the
tensioner, grasp the screw hole and pull
down to release the lock. Pull the cord
through the tensioner until the tensioner is at
the bottom of the cord loop.
Follow the instructions included in the
Tensioner Bracket Packet.
Step 5. HOLD DOWN INSTALLATION (optional)
Use the pin on the hold down bracket to punch out the front hole on
the bottom rail end cap. Mount the hold down to the side or back of
the window frame so that the pin lines up with the front hole in the
bottom rail end cap with the
shade fully lowered and fully
open. Lower the shading and
flex the hold down bracket
outward so that the pin can be
inserted into the hole in the
end cap.
CLEANING AND CARE
The soft and delicate feel of Sheer Horizontal Window Shadings
belies the durability of the material. Sheer Horizontal Window
Shadings are made of sturdy, knitted polyester fabrics and may be
feather dusted or vacuumed at a low suction setting. Spots or stains
can be rubbed clean with a damp sponge and mild soap. To avoid
discoloration of the material, we recommend against the use of
chemical cleaners. If necessary the shading may be ultrasonically
cleaned by a professional.
All knitted fabrics experience weave variations due to heat, humidity
and other room conditions. These variations can result in slight
bowing, puckering and dimpling of the Sheer Horizontal material.
The possible variations are minor and have been shown through
case study not to detract from the beauty of this product.
Step 3. OPERATION
Pulling down on the back cord will lower the shading. When the
window shading is completely lowered, pulling down on the back cord
will open the vanes. Continued pulling in this
direction will raise the fabric with the vanes in
the open position.
The window shading
must only be raised a maximum of 24" in
this manner to avoid damaging the fabric.
Pulling down on the front cord will close the
vanes and then raise the shading.
Equalization Adjustment
If the fabric is moving to one side (or one side of the bottom rail is
higher than the other), slide the endcap from that higher side out of
the rail. There are two weights in the endcap already, and two empty
positions for new weights. Place a weight in one of the positions.
Replace the endcap and check the operation again. If the shade still
shifts, add the additional weight. If the shade still shifts,
remove
weights from the
other
endcap for additional adjustment.
Sheer Horizontal Window Shadings represent a
design breakthrough in style, efficiency and
function. The unique fabric structure and hardware
system are designed to provide years of reliable
service when properly installed.
