Step 8. Adjust Safety Cord Stops
REDUCE RISK OF STRANGULATION TO INFANTS AND TODDLERS.
POSITION SAFETY CORD STOPS BEFORE USING BLINDS.
Lower blind to maximum desired length and lock into place.
Measure the distance from head rail to cord stops. If cord stops are
1 to 6" below the head rail, no further adjustment is needed. If not,
loosen but do not untie the knot surrounding the cord stop. Move
the cord stop as close to the head rail as possible and tighten knot
by pulling firmly on tassel. Repeat process for each lift cord.
Step 9. Installing hold down brackets
Hold down brackets are provided for optional use. These brackets
should be used only if the blind is to be in a permanently lowered
position.
With the blind fully lowered, make pencil marks at the outside ends
of the bottom rail. The outside edge of each bracket should be lined
up to the pencil marks and screwed into place using the ½” screws.
Insert the pins protruding from the brackets into the holes on both
ends of the bottom rail (see illustration)
CLEANING YOUR BLINDS
Dusting: use a soft cloth, feather duster, cylindrical dust brushes
specifically designed for blinds or vacuum using the soft brush
attachment.
Washing: use a cloth, sponge or soft brush and a mild detergent.
Use warm or cold water, not hot water. Place toweling on the floor
and/or window sill and wash the blind in sections. Smaller blinds
can be washed in a sink or tub; blinds can also be gently hose
washed outdoors. Rinse off suds thoroughly. Drain the head rail
and bottom rail; remove end caps if necessary. Towel dry to avoid
water marks.
To have your blinds cleaned professionally, check the local
telephone directory for a venetian blind cleaning service or laundry.
