Comfort Blinds Cordless Roman User manual

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.
BRACKET INSTALLATION
Shades are shipped with the required number of brackets for proper
installation. End brackets should be located approximately 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" - 72" 3
72" - 84" 4
84" and up 5
INSERTING THE HEADRAIL
Important - For top down / bottom up shades, remove the tie-wrap
that is around the headrail before installing the shade.
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
toward the window until the
leg at the bottom of the
headrail snaps into place,

Installation Instructions

CHECK LENGTH AND EQUALIZATION ON SHADES
NOTE: Only adjust one cord at a time. Disconnecting more than
one cord may allow the cords to retract into the headrail.
If the shade length and equalization is satisfactory, simply trim the
excess cord and ladder braid hanging below the bottom rail. For top
down/bottom up shades also trim the excess cord from the middle
moving rail.
If adjustments are necessary, pull the
excess cord at the bottom of the shade
down until the Bottom Rail Plug is
released (fig. A). Push the cord up or
down through the Bottom Rail Plug (figs.
B & C).
If the cord needs to be longer, slide the
bottom end of the cord up into the plug
and slide the plug down to take up slack.
If the cord needs to be shorter, slide the top end of the cord down into
the plug and slide the plug up to take up slack.
Adjust the position of the plug as necessary (fig. D).
Feed the cord back through the Bottom Rail Clip (figs. E & F).
Push the Bottom Rail Plug back into the Bottom Rail Pocket.
Follow the same procedures for adjusting the middle moving rail on
a top down/bottom up shade.
When bottom rail adjustments have been made trim the excess cord
and ladder braid hanging below the bottom rail. For top down/bottom
up shades also trim the excess cord on the middle moving rail.
CLEANING AND CARE
The shades are as easy to clean as they are to operate. Roman
fabrics are anti-static and actually repel dust. Occasional vacuuming
with a soft bristle attachment is all that is needed. Also, the use of a
feather duster or dust buster at a low setting will help keep your
shades clean and fresh. Roman shades may also be cleaned
ultrasonically.
