Blinds Chalet Top Down Bottom Up Installation - Manual

INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS
TOP-DOWN/BOTTOM-UP
AND DAY-NIGHT SHADES
B
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.
Our Top-Down/Bottom-Up and Day-Night shades are con-
structed to be hung as either an Inside Mount or an
Outside Mount. The Installation Bracket can be mounted
inside the window opening, for an inside mount, or on the
molding or wall above the window for an outside mount.
The Extension Bracket and the Hold Down Bracket are
optional items requested at the time of ordering the shade.
The Extension Bracket provides projection of the
Installation Bracket in order to clear obstructions. The Hold
Down Bracket keeps the shade from swaying and is often
used for installation on door windows.

NSTALLATION
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 brack-
ets 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 and
mark the center lines. When mounting brackets, make
sure they are in line and level.
The brackets are mounted flat against the top sill sur-
face. Place the bugle head screw through the hole
closest to the front of the bracket. To fully recess the
shade requires a flat surface with a minimum depth of
1 3/4". Shallow mounting requires 1/2" minimum.

1st Installation
Cord Lock
2 1/2"
On shades 84" to 96" wide it is recommended to
use a second bracket located next to the end
bracket at the Cord Lock.
The shade fabric is easy to care for. Regular dusting
with a feather duster or vacuum cleaner brush is rec-
ommended. Most stains can be blotted with a damp
sponge and mild detergent. For problem stains, the
shade can be removed from the installation brack-
ets and soaked in warm water. When damp, raise
shade tightly to re-crisp pleats. Before using any-
thing 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
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.
Cord cleats are 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 wrap the excess
cord around the cleat. It’s fast, easy
and safe.
To protect your children, we are pleased to
provide cord cleats free of charge with every
shade that we manufacture.
