MAKE SURE MOUNTING SURFACE IS LEVEL
If
the headrail does not sit level,
the fabric will not roll up evenly
which could damage the edges of
the shading fabric.
|
|
|
| Bracket
Installation |
| End
brackets should be located with centerlines
2" in from each end. Depending
on the width of the shading, additional
brackets may be necessary evenly spaced
between the two end brackets. |
| For
shade widths of: |
Use
this number of brackets: |
| Up
to 40" |
2 |
| >40"-72" |
3 |
| >72"-84" |
4 |

|
| FULLY
RECESSED INSIDE |
 |
Low
light gap wedges can be used to reduce
the top light gap when the shade is
mounted fully recessed. The wedge is
placed between the mounting surface
and the bracket with the tabs on the
wedge facing down and the thick end
of the wedge toward the back of the
bracket. |
| OUTSIDE

|
| EXTENSION
BRACKETS (Optional) |
|
Optional Extension Brackets are used
to project the back of the shading up
to 2 1/2" from the mounting surface.
Attach the Standard Mounting Bracket
to the Extension Bracket with the nut
and bolt provided (fig.5). |
|
|
| SIDE
MOUNT |
| Measure
from window sill up to desired mounting
position on each side of the window
frame. Mark position. Mount Side Mount
Brackets on each side of window frame
as shown (fig.6). Make sure to confirm
that headrail will sit perfectly level.
Once Side Mount Brackets are installed
and properly positioned, attach the
Standard Mounting Brackets using the
nuts and bolts provided (fig.7). |
 |
Position
screws in center of slots so you
can adjust position of bracket
as necessary. |
 |
|
 |
 |
| Push
the rail back until it is fully engaged
(fig.9). To remove the shading, partially
lower the shading and insert a flat
head screwdriver as shown (fig.10).
Twist the screwdriver until the headrail
disengages from the bracket. |
 |
| CHILD
SAFETY |
The
Consumer Product Safety Commission 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.
The Cord Tensioner is installed on the
Lift Cord before packaging. The Tensioning
device should be mounted in the proper
position to pull the cord taut in order
to reduce the possibility of injury.
|
| CORD
TENSIONER INSTALLATION |
Lower
the shading. Choose one of the three
installation methods shown (fig. 11)
to position the tension device on the
window frame or the wall so that the
tension device and the control cord
do not interfere with shade operation.
The control cord must be taut but still
operable. Do not allow for any slack.
Do not twist or cross the control cord.
| 11/4”Screw |
 |
|
| 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.
There is a stop pre-set on the bead
chain to allow 24" of reverse roll-up
(fig.12).
Pulling down on the front cord will
close the vanes and then raise the shading.
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. FIG. 13
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 is
created from sturdy, knitted polyester
fabric 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 professionally
ultrasonically cleaned.
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. |
