inside the end cap, oriented as shown.
■Hold the bracket while opening and closing the shade slightly
(it may be necessary to have someone assist you). Adjust the
bracket to the best overall position.
■Mark the screw location using the mounting options below.
➤The screw should be placed in the middle of the channel.
This will allow for adjustment.
■Drill the screw holes using a
3
/ 32 " drill bit.
■Attach the hold-down brackets to the mounting surface using
the screws provided.
■If necessary, adjust the bracket location in the channel for best
operation.

OPERATION
12
Operate the Shade
For better support and smoother operation, use the handle when raising and lowering the shade.
To Lower the Shade
■Slowly and steadily pull down on the bottom
rail handle.
To Raise the Shade
■Slowly and steadily push up on the bottom
rail handle.
IMPORTANT: When raising the shade, be
sure to raise it straight up. Pushing it up to
the left or right will make the fabric skew.
If the fabric skews into the cassette end
plate or profile side holder, it can prevent
the shade from operating and possibly fray
the fabric edges.

OPERATION
13
Troubleshooting
Problem The shade does not roll up, or it rolls too slowly.
Solution Check that the shade is being raised straight up and is not skewing the fabric
against the cassette end plate or profile side holder. If this is not the case, you
can adjust by:
Adding Spring Tension
■Locate the adjustable bracket or end cap.
➤If fabric is coming off the back of the shade, it will be the right side.
➤If fabric is coming off the front of the shade, it will be
the left side.
■Raise the shade completely and hold into place.
■Push a 3/16" Allen wrench into the access hole in the end
cap of the shade (about a ½").
CAUTION: When pressing the Allen wrench into
the end, you are compressing a spring and freeing
it from a gear. Before compressing the spring, be
sure the Allen wrench is fully engaged. Test by
gently turning the Allen wrench; it should not turn.
When releasing the spring, be sure you can feel
the mechanism lock back into the gear to avoid
unwinding the spring. If the spring unwinds, tension will need to be added
back. Therefore, it will likely take multiple turns to get the desired tension.
➤Using ½ turn increments, rotate Allen wrench counter-clockwise to add
tension. Test and repeat, if necessary.
Problem I have several shades, and the side holders are different sizes.
Solution Shade holder size is determined by the length of the shade and size of the roll.

Problem Shade will drift up once stopped.
Solution Removing Spring Tension
■Locate the adjustable bracket or end cap.
➤If fabric is coming off the back of the shade, it will be the right side.
➤If fabric is coming off the front of the shade, it will be the left side.
■Raise the shade completely and hold into place.
■Push a 3/16" Allen wrench into the access hole in the end
cap of the shade (about a ½").
CAUTION: When pressing the Allen wrench into the end,
you are compressing a spring and freeing it from a gear.
Before compressing the spring, be sure the Allen
wrench is fully engaged. Test by gently turning the
Allen wrench; it should not turn.
When releasing the spring, be sure you can feel
the mechanism lock back into the gear to avoid
unwinding the spring. If the spring unwinds, tension will need to be added
back. Therefore, it will likely take multiple turns to get the desired tension.
See “Adding Spring Tension” on page 13.
➤Using ½ turn increments, rotate Allen wrench clockwise to reduce
tension. Test and repeat, if necessary.
Problem An opaque fabric panel is wrinkled, creased or is rippling.
Solution Apply heat for 30 seconds with a hair dryer 6” away from the shade to release
the creases, wrinkles or ripples in the fabric.

Removing the Shade (If Necessary)
Standard Shade
■Fully raise the shade.

each bracket to release.

Cleaning Procedures
Designer Roller and 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
CAUTION: Do not spot-clean Aerial, Antigua, Ashlyn, Fiji, Fiji Dimout, and Raffia fabrics.
■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.
