ASICS

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.

Shades are shipped with the required number of brackets for
proper installation. End brackets should be located with the
edge of the bracket 3" from either end. Depending on the
width of the shade, additional brackets may be necessary,
evenly spaced between the two end brackets.

Use this number

For shade widths of:

of brackets:

Up to 40"

2

40" to 72"

3

72" to 84"

4

84" and up

5

Using the Installation Bracket as a template, measure to the
edge of the bracket and mark the hole locations with a
pencil for drilling. When mounting brackets, make sure they
are in line and level.
Brackets must be in
line and level.
Shim brackets on inside
mounts if necessary. The
headrail must be level for the
shade to operate properly.
Inside or Ceiling Mounts

NSERTING THE

H

EADRAIL

First, lower the middle and bottom rail about an inch.
This will help keep the fabric from getting caught between
the brackets and the headrail.
Position the headrail with the front lip (A) resting on the
top hooks of all the brackets. Make sure that no fabric is
pinched between the brackets and the headrail.
Push the bottom of
the headrail firmly
upwards and towards
the window until the
groove at the bottom of
the headrail snaps into
place, (B) as shown.

Push here upwards and towards
the window

EMOVING THE

H

EADRAIL

To remove a shade, insert a screwdriver between the
headrail and the bottom back of the bracket (tab which
extends out slightly from each bracket).
Gently pry the screwdriver to release the
bracket from the headrail. Take care not to
damage the painted finish of the headrail.
As you release the brackets, support the
headrail to keep it from falling.

Insert

NSTALLING THE

H

ANDLE

Locate the center of the bottom rail. Gently lift fabric out
of the way. Hook the top of the handel over the front lip
on the bottom rail. Rotate handle
down until it snaps into
place.

The Honeycomb fabric is easy to care for. Regular dusting
with a feather duster or vacuum cleaner brush is
recommended. 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.
Important: DO NOT immerse headrail in 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 your dealer for advice.

LEANING AND

C

ARE

1. Problem: Shade will not stay down.

Cause: Because the shade was fabricated primarily in
the closed position, the fabric may want to spring up.
Repair: With clean hands, gently pull down on a
section of cells to relax the pleats (see diagram below).
Repeat with another section of cells until the fabric is
sufficiently relaxed. Do not tightly stack the shade for
24 hours.

2. Problem: Fabric billows out when shade is raised.

Cause: Fabric can take a set when stretched out for
extended periods of time.
Repair: Raise the shade very slowly to allow the
retraction mechanism to overcome the force of the
stretched fabric.
