| | BASICS
A few simple tools are required:
- Measuring tape
- Power drill, drill bits
- Hex head and/or Phillips driver bit
- Pencil
Additional fasteners other than those sent with your shade may be required depending on the mounting surface. Wallboard and plaster require the use of anchors such as expansion or toggle bolts. Brick, tile or stone need special plugs and drill bits. Remember to always pre-drill holes in wood to avoid splitting.

| SIDE TRACK INSTALLATION
The minimum required depth for installation is 1 1/2”. The minimum depth required for Flush mount installation is 1 7/8’.
Mark the desired location for the side track. On a shallow mount, align the front edges of the Attachment Track to the front of the window frame. For a Flush mount, the front edge of the Attachment track should be placed 3/8” back from the front of the window frame. The track may be recessed further, but keep in mind that there must be a minimum of 1/4” between the back of the Attachment track and any obstruction.
Peel the paper liner from the back of the Attachment Track to expose the adhesive. Attach the Attachment Track to the window frame. Secure the track in place by installing a screw along the etched center line every 18”. |

| BRACKET INSTALLATION
Shades are shipped with the required number of brackets for proper installation. End brackets should be located with centerlines 2 1/2" in from each end. Depending on the width of the shade, 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 | 84" and up | 5 |

| On shades 84” - 96” wide, it is recommended to use a second bracket located next to the end bracket at the cordlock. | |

| Unwind the cord from the shade. Bring the shade up near the installation brackets. Slide the non-control end of the shade over the Side Track Rail. Let the non-control end of the headrail rest on the Side Track Rail. | |
|
|  | |

| PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN
Be aware that it is possible for children to strangle in window covering cords. To reduce the occurrence of accident, all cords must be kept out of the reach of children, including infants. Velcro dots are supplied with each shade. Fix one side of the dot to the cord equalizer and the other side of the dot to the window sill. Cord cleats are also an effective way to implement this essential precaution. Mount the cord cleat at a safe height, taking into account furniture or other objects upon which a child may climb. Then, after each use of the shade, simply secure the cord safely using the velcro attachment. It's fast, easy and safe.

| CLEANING AND CARE
The shade fabric is easy to care for. If you feel it is necessary you can feather dust or use vacuum cleaner brush. Most stains can be blotted with a damp sponge and mild detergent. For problem stains, the shade can be removed from the Installation brackets and soaked in warm water. When damp, raise shade tightly to re-crisp pleats. Before using anything stronger than mild detergent and lukewarm water, test an unobtrusive corner of the shade. If you have any questions, call us for advice. We also offer ultrasonic cleaning of shades. Call us for prices.
Due to superior insulation properties of this window treatment, it is sometimes possible for condensation to build up between the window and the shade. This happens most frequently when the window is old or not sealed properly. If condensation does occur, simply let your window breathe by occasionally raising the shade. |
