Adjust the Shading
Testing
• Lower the shading and then slowly raise it.
• If the fabric rolls unevenly or rubs against the headrail,
check that the headrail is level. Level if necessary.
• If the headrail is level, adjust the bottom rail weight.
Adjust the Bottom Rail Weight
• To release, insert a flat blade screwdriver
into a weight lock and turn clockwise.
• Move the weight in 1" increments toward
the side where the fabric is gathering.
• Secure the weight locks in position by turning them
counterclockwise after making the adjustment.
• Test and, if necessary, adjust again.
Attach the Accessories
Attach the Dust Cover (Optional)
• Use the entire cover on outside mounts.
• On inside mounts, trim the cover along a score to fit over the
portion of the headrail that protrudes from the window frame.
• Cut the cover to fit between extension brackets, when used.
• Peel the backing from the double-sided tape to attach the
cover to the headrail.
Attach the Hold-Down Brackets (Optional)
Optional hold-down brackets secure the bottom rail to the sill
when the window shading is fully lowered. The bottom rail can
still pivot when opening and closing the vanes, but the shading
cannot be raised.
• With the shading fully lowered, insert the pin on the hold-
down bracket into the hole on the bottom rail end cap.

Screws should be long
enough to secure the bracket
to the mounting surface.
• Use a maximum of three spacer blocks per bracket.
End Mount Applications
End mount the headrail when
conventional mounting techniques
will not work, for example, in an
arched window.
• Mount extension brackets on a
surface at least 11/2"wide as shown.
• Attach the installation brackets to
the extension brackets using the
machine screws and nuts provided.
NOTE: Maximum width for an end
mount application is 48".
Install the Shading
• Hold the shading so the front faces you.
• Push the top edge of the
headrail into the
installation bracket until
it snaps into place.

Care and Cleaning
Nantucket™window shadings are made of 100% polyester,
which means they are inherently durable and resilient.
However, care must be taken to avoid wrinkling the fabric,
particularly where the vanes meet the facings.
Dusting
Regular light dusting with a feather duster is all the cleaning
that is needed in most circumstances.
Vacuuming
Use a low suction, hand-held vacuum for more thorough dust
removal.
Forced Air
Blow away dirt and debris between the vanes
using a can of clean, compressed air or a hair
dryer set on a “cool” setting.
Spot-Cleaning
Do not spot-clean Nantucket window shadings.
Ultrasonic Cleaning
Nantucket window shadings can be ultrasonically cleaned by a
professional, with the exception of Misty Harbor™light-
dimming fabric..
..
.
• Specify that a mild detergent solution be used.
• Never immerse the headrail in the solution.
• Dry the shading completely in the lowered position.
Electrostatic Cleaning
Do not use electrostatic cleaning devices such as Swiffer™or
Pledge Grab-it™on any Nantucket window shadings.

A Note About Textiles
As with all textiles, Nantucket fabric is subject to some variations.
Slight wrinkling, puckering, or bowing are inherent to this textile
product and should be considered normal, acceptable quality. These
characteristics are not usually visible from the front or rear, but may
be visible from a side angle.
Precautions should be taken to reduce exposure to harsh
environmental elements, such as salt air. Continuous exposure
through open windows and doors will accelerate the fabric
deterioration.

Child Safety
WARNING
To avoid entanglement and strangulation, keep
cords out of the reach of young children. Also:
• Move cribs and furniture away from the
shading cords.
• Install the enclosed safety cord tensioning
device to reduce access to the cords.
Installation instructions and components
required for securing the cord tensioner are
included with each shading.

SOLUTION
Vanes do not align
on side-by-side
shadings.
Check that the shading is installed correctly on an
inside mount. Make sure there is clearance
between the ends of the shading and the window
casement.
Check that the mounting brackets are level. Shim
to level if necessary.
If hold-down brackets are used, make sure they
have been released.
Make sure the fabric is not caught on anything.
The shading is hard
to raise or lower, or
will not raise or
lower.
Vane alignment is only guaranteed to within 1/4"
when shadings are ordered at the same time, at
the same height, with the same color, and when
specified on the order form.
Check that the windows are square and the same
height.
The shading raises or
lowers unevenly, or
the bottom rail is
uneven when fully
raised.
Check that the window is square by measuring
the diagonals.
Check that the mounting brackets are level. Shim
to level if necessary.
Adjust the bottom rail weight following the
instructions in Step 4.
The shading will not
snap into the
mounting brackets.
Check that the mounting brackets are aligned and
level.
Check that the locking tab on the mounting
bracket slides over the headrail. See Step 2.
The shading rolls up
backward.
Make sure the limit stops are 51/2" in from the ends
of the headrail. See “Bracket Placement” in Step 1.
