■ Pull the cable taut and tightening the set screw
with the Allen wrench provided.
■ If the cable is long, wrap the cable with electrical
tape where you intend to cut it. A ½" of cable can
be left past the clamp for future adjustments. If
the cable is left too long, the cover will not snap
into place.
■ Slide the hold-down cover over the bracket with the cable in the
top slot. Push the cover down to snap into place. You may need
to spread the cover apart to snap it into place.
Attach the Universal Cord Tensioner (UCT)
Before doing anything, you must first slide the cord tensioner to the bottom of the beaded
cordloop.
■ Insert a small screwdriver, punch, or awl through the screw hole at the bottom of the cord
tensioner.
■ While holding the cord tensioner, move screw hole all the way down to the bottom of the
cord tensioner to release the safety mechanism.
■ Slide the cord tensioner down to the bottom of the beaded cordloop.
WARNING: It is imperative that the cord
tensioner be properly secured to the wall
or window frame to reduce children’s
access to the cord loop. Young children
can strangle in cord loops. They can
also wrap cords around their necks and
strangle.
CAUTION: The shade will not operate properly
unless the cord tensioner is secured. A cord
tensioner installation kit has been included with
your shade. Follow the instructions in the kit to
correctly secure the cord tensioner.

Problem
The shade fabric winds unevenly on the roll.
Solution Check that the shade is level.
Using the beaded cord loop, completely lower the roller shade.
➤ If the fabric winds unevenly and begins to telescope to one side, check
to insure that the shade is level.
➤ If the shade is not level, remove it from the installation brackets and
shim or re-install the brackets, as necessary.
IMPORTANT: If the shade was unrolled before being installed, it may
not raise/lower to the right points. To correct this:
Remove the shade from the mounting brackets.
Roll the shade up until the bottom rod is even with the bottom of the clutch.
Re-install the shade.
Problem
The shade is slightly long or short.
Solution Raise the shade completely (until the bead stop touches the back of the
clutch).
➤ For a shorter drop, move the bead stop two to four beadsup.
➤ For a longer drop, move the bead stop two to four beadsdown.
IMPORTANT: Maximum adjustment is 1¾", or eight to nine beads.

CARE

Cleaning Procedures
Designer Screen Shades are made from anti-static, dust-resistant materials which repel dirt
and dust. The following options are available if your shade needs cleaning.
Dusting
■ Regular light dusting with a feather duster is all the cleaning needed in most
circumstances.
Vacuuming
■ Use a hand-held vacuum with low suction for more thorough dust removal.
Compressed Air/Hair Dryer (Cool Setting)
■ Use compressed air or a hair-dryer on a cool setting, to blow dust and dirt off of shades.
Spot-Cleaning
■ Prepare a solution of warm water and a mild detergent.
■ Dampen a clean cloth in the solution and wring it out.
■ Dab the spot with the dampened cloth until it is gone. Do not rub the fabric.
■ Allow the shade to dry in the completely lowered position.

CHILD SAFETY

For more safety information call 1-888-501-8364
in the U.S. or 1-866-662-0666 in Canada.
WARNING
Young children can STRANGLE in cord loops. They can also wrap cords around their
necks and STRANGLE.
■ Always keep cords out of the reach of children.
■ Move cribs, playpens and other furniture away from cords. Children can climb
furniture to get to cords.
Cord Loop Shades
■ Attach the cord tensioner on the cord loop to the wall or window
casement. See “Attach the Universal Cord Tensioner (UCT)” on
page 10. This can prevent children from pulling cord loops
around their necks.
■ Hunter Douglas provides a cord tensioner installation kit with
instructions for attaching the cord tensioner. For the shade to
operate properly, the cord tensioner must be correctly mounted
andsecured.
■ Fasteners provided in this kit may not be appropriate for all
mounting surfaces. Use appropriate anchors for the mounting
surface conditions.
■ Only Hunter Douglas supplied cord tensioners and hardware
should be used. Replacement parts may be obtained by contacting the Hunter
Douglas Customer Information Center at 1-888-501-8364.
