➤Remove the bubble wrap from the shade.
■Orient the top rail with the fabric colored side facing up and the bottom rail with the manual
control button facing up. Arrange the side rails with the “L” sticker on the left and the “R”
sticker on the right. Orient the side rails so that the top corner brackets are at the top and

■Inside Mount shades only: Light gap seals should be
inserted into the front channel of all four rails. Make
sure they are inserted in the correct orientation, as
shown.
■Inside Mount shades only: If the angle of the
installed shade will be 45° or steeper, slide two spacer
blocks into the rear channel on the underside of the
bottomrail. The spacer blocks prevent the light gap
seal from over-compressing and ensure even
positioning of the shade in the casement.
➤Position the spacer blocks approximately one-
fourth the shade widthfrom each end of the
bottom rail.
➤The plastic spacer blocks have tabs of
1
/ 2 ",
3
/ 8 ",
and
1
/ 4 ". If necessary, break off the outer tabs to
adjust the spacer block to the appropriate size,
so the shade fits evenly into thecasement.
NOTE: The spacer blocks are packaged with the
corner covers.
