upper left hand corner of the window against the top and
side of the window casing.
INSIDE MOUNT
• Flush with the front of the
window casing if you are
mounting your blind in a
window with the minimum
depth.
NOTE: Be sure to check for any obstructions such as window
cranks or which may require different bracket locations.
• Mark the window casing
through the holes in either
the side or top of the end
bracket. For maximum
stability, the marks should
be made diagonally.

has been provided, position them equidistant from the end
brackets and each other.
WARNING: Do not locate the center support brackets over
any of the moving parts in the headrail.
TO INSTALL CENTER SUPPORT BRACKETS:
• Align the back of the center
support bracket(s) with the
back end of the mounting
brackets. The alignment
is crucial for proper blind
installation.
• Mark the window casing
through the holes in the
top of the center support
bracket. For maximum
stability, the marks should be
made diagonally.
• Position the front edge of the closed bracket:

TO INSTALL CENTER SUPPORT BRACKET(S):
If your hardware packet includes one center support
bracket, position it as close to the center of the mounting
surface as possible, making sure it will not interfere with
any moving parts. If more than one center support bracket
has been provided, position them equidistant from the end
brackets and each other, again avoiding all moving parts.
Proceed to “Valance Return Assembly”.
• Make sure all center
support brackets are
positioned at the same
height and are level with
the end brackets.

mounting surface through
the holes in the back
of the center support
bracket. For maximum
stability, the pencil marks
should be made in the top
two holes of the center
support bracket.

bit or an awl, make a small
pilot hole at each pencil
mark.
• Repeat this procedure for any remaining center support
bracket(s).

VALANCE RETURN ASSEMBLY
If you did not order valance returns for your valance, proceed
to “Valance Clip Installation”.
• Slide a valance return
clip onto each end of the
valance.
• Apply a thin coat of glue
to the mitered end of both
the valance and valance
returns.
CAUTION: Do not get the glue on the painted/stained surface
of the valance. Avoid contact with skin.
• Slide the valance return
clip into the valance,
joining the ends of the
valance returns with the
valance by pressing the
mitered edges together
firmly for 60 seconds.
• Repeat this procedure for the other end of the valance.
• Allow the glue to dry for at least 10 minutes before
installing the valance.
Proceed to “Valance Clip Installation”.
VALANCE CLIP INSTALLATION
If you ordered a blind with a valance, you will need to install
the valance clips to the front of the headrail before installing
the blind. The valance clips should be spaced equidistant
from the end brackets and each other to allow proper
support for the entire valance. Make sure the valance clips do
not interfere with any moving parts.
• There are two parts to
the valance clip, the front
which attaches to the
valance and the back
which attaches to the
headrail.
Back
Front
• Snap the front of the valance clip into the groove on the
back of the valance and rotate 90°.
• Clip the back of the valance clip onto the headrail, matching
the placement of the clips on the valance.
Proceed to “Blind Installation"

• At the top of the tilt wand
(provided separately),
you will find a plastic
sleeve that covers a metal
hook.
• Remove the plastic sleeve
on the tilt wand by pulling
gently upward.
• Make sure the metal hook
attached to the tilt wand
is in the open position.
• On one end of the
headrail, you will find a
small metal shaft with a
hole protruding from the
headrail.
• Take the plastic sleeve
you just removed from
the tilt wand and slide
it up and over the shaft
protruding from the
headrail so that the hole
at the end of the shaft is
exposed.
• Insert the metal hook into
the hole in the shaft.
• Slide the plastic sleeve
down the shaft and over
the tilt wand hook until it
is secure.
TILT WAND ATTACHMENT
(Not applicable for blinds ordered with a cord tilt)
BLIND OPERATION
• To tilt the slats, twist the tilt wand. If you ordered a cord
tilt, YOU MUST take one cord in each hand applying slight
tension to each cord, and pull gently down to tilt the slats to
the desired angle.
• Do not attempt to raise or lower the blind unless the slats
are in a completely open (horizontal) position.
• To raise the blind, pull the lift cords down.
• To engage the lock, pull the lift cords down and toward the
outside of the blind.
• To lower the blind, pull the lift cords down and toward
the center of the blind and allow the cords to slide slowly
through your hand.
CORDED
ULTRALIFT CORDLESS™
• To tilt the slats, twist the tilt wand.
• Do not attempt to raise or lower the blind unless the slats
are in a completely open (horizontal) position.
• To raise and lower the blind, press the button on the
bottomrail while simultaneously moving the blind up or
down into the desired position.
Note: The button must be engaged to raise or lower the
blind. Releasing the button will lock the blind into place.
NOTE: Light-less® Blinds are manufactured without ladder
holes in each slat to allow for tighter closure and superior
light control. As such, slats may become dislodged from the
support ladders during shipping. If this occurs, the slats are
easy to reposition. The notch on the slat is to be placed at the
rear of the blind.

OPTIONAL HARDWARE
INSTALLATION
Hold down brackets are used primarily on blinds mounted to
doors or in motor homes. If hold down brackets were ordered
at the time of purchase, the bottom rail of the blind will be
pre-drilled to accommodate the brackets. If you require hold
down brackets and no hole appears, simply drill a small hole
in the center of the bottom rail using a 1/16" drill bit.
• With the blind lowered to it’s full length, place the pin of
each hold down bracket into the hole in each end of the
bottom rail.
• Mark the mounting surface, either to the side or back of the
window frame, through the holes in the hold down bracket.
Make sure the hold down brackets are level and aligned with
each other.
• Raise the blind and screw the hold down brackets into the
mounting surface using the screws provided.
HOLD DOWN BRACKETS
BLIND REMOVAL
• Using a flathead
screwdriver, open the
latches of the end
brackets.
• Holding onto both ends
of the headrail, gently
pull the blind forward
and out of the brackets,
making sure to unhook
the headrail from the
center support bracket(s),
if applicable.
• Mount the hold down bracket 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 blind fully lowered.
• Lower the blind and
flex the hold down
bracket outward so
that the pin can be
inserted into the hole
in the bottom rail.

Inner cords can pull out to form a loop, which can strangle a
young child.
• Inner cord stop devices can reduce this risk if positioned
correctly on the pull cords.
• If inner cord stop devices are more than 3 in (76 mm) below
the headrail when the blind is fully lowered, move them closer by
loosening, but not untying, the knot surrounding the cord stop
and sliding the cord stop upwards. Repeat for any remaining
cords
WARNING
Young children can STRANGLE in cord and bead chain loops.
They can also wrap cords around their necks and STRANGLE.
Young children can STRANGLE in cord and bead chain loops and
in the loop(s) above the cord connector. They can also wrap
cords around their necks and STRANGLE.
• Always keep cords and bead chains out of children’s reach.
• Move cribs, playpens, and other furniture away from cords
and bead chains. Children can climb furniture to get to cords.
