Standard wall mount installation brackets are adjustable and provide ½” to
1½” wall clearance. Determine the height for the top of the bracket
(measured from the floor) by adding ½” to the blind height including the
headrail. When installed, vanes will clear the floor by ½”.
Place the first bracket directly over the corner of the window
with a maximum of 30” between the remaining brackets.
Adjust the brackets so the vanes clear all obstructions.
Brackets must be installed at the same level.

4 Vane Installation
Push the vanes up into the carrier stem. Then pull slightly straight down to lock
into place. For wand options, if the louvers are curved the curved side should
face the wand.
5 Test Vane Rotation
Wand Control: Turn the wand in
the direction you want the vanes
to rotate.
Chain Control: Pull the chain
once in each direction, rotating
the vanes open and closed.
6 Test Traverse
Wand Control: Rotate the vanes
to the open position, then push or
pull the wand to open (stack vanes)
or close (unstack vanes).
Chain Control: Pull the cord to
ensure the blind traverses
smoothly in both directions.
! WARNING: Do not traverse the blind with the vanes in the closed position.
7 Valance Installation
Snap the plastic valance clips onto the aluminum headrail. Then slide the
top of the valance into the plastic valance clips until they lock into place.
8 Valance Returns
HOME DECOR standard valances have rounded corners and come preassembled.
However, if optional square valance is chosen, and the valance
returns are not preassembled, slide the clear plastic corner clip on to
the top edge of the valance. Then slide the valance return into the
other side of the corner clip as shown to the right.
Valance returns may be trimmed to fit using heavy duty scissors.

Tips for Preventing Louver Misalignment
Avoid leaving the window open during inclement, windy weather. Completely open (traverse) the
blinds before opening the window. Do not allow children or pets to pass through the closed blind.
Wand Control Operating Instructions
To rotate the vanes, rotate the wand in the direction you want the vanes rotated. To traverse the
vanes, rotate the vanes to the open position. Then, push or pull the wand to open (stack vanes) or
close (unstack vanes) the blind. If vanes are installed with the front of the vane facing the wand,
the wand will be in front of the vanes when the blind is rotated closed. If the vanes are installed
with the back of the vane facing the wand, the wand will be behind the vanes when the blind is
rotated closed.
Cord & Chain Control Operating Instructions
To rotate the vanes, gently pull the metal bead chain. To traverse the vanes, gently pull on the
nylon cord. For proper traversing of the vanes, it is critical that the vanes be rotated to the open
position prior to pulling on the cord to draw the vanes across the window opening.
If vanes become tangled or have moved out of alignment with use, re-adjustment is simple. With
your hand, gently adjust the vanes so that are all facing the same direction. Make certain that the
vanes are overlapping each of other in the correct direction. Pull the metal bead chain until you
hear a grinding sound. Give the chain an additional gentle pull. This grinding noise comes from
the vane carriers realigning themselves. Now pull the chain in the opposite direction and all the
vanes will be aligned correctly.
