Operate the Shading
EasyRise™Shadings
 Pull the front or rear cord to raise or lower
the shading. The shading will hold its
position when you release thecord.
 To lower the shading: Pull down
on the rear cord of the cord loop
(indicated by the white arrow).
 With the shading fully lowered,
continue to pull the rear cord to open
the vanes.
 To raise the shading: With the
shading fully lowered, pull down
on the front cord of the cord loop
(indicated by the white arrow).
IMPORTANT: If the cord tensioner moves up the cord, you have not secured it to the wall
or window casement. You must do so for the shading to operate properly. See “Attach the
Universal Cord Tensioner (UCT) — EasyRise™Only” on page 10.
Two-On-One Headrail EasyRise Shadings
 Two-On-One Headrail shadings have two cord loops. The right cord loop operates the right
shading and the left cord loop operates the left shading.
IMPORTANT: With Two-On-One Headrail shadings, both cord tensioners must be
properly secured to the wall or window casement for the shading to operate correctly.

To Raise:

If a shading has been fully lowered with the vanes open for a long period of time,
the vanes may become “set” — they may not easily close or flatten. This is a normal
characteristic of fabric products.
If this happens, move the shading up and down to coax the vanes as closed as possible.
If necessary, gently pull down on the lowest operable vane. You may also dress the
vanes gently with your hands to help them close. Then roll up the shading slowly to
flatten the vanes. Allow the fabric to remain in the headrail for up to 24 hours.
To prevent vane set, regularly “exercise” the shading by raising and lowering it and
opening and closing the vanes.
Important Operating Note

OPERATION

UltraGlide®Shadings
To Lower the Shading
 Pull the wand straight out from the fabric at an angle greater than 25 degrees. The clutch
will click and the fabric will proceed with a controlled descent.
 To stop the shading in any position, simply pull the wand straight down.
IMPORTANT: Avoid pulling the wand in the non-operable zone. This is the area between
the angle for lowering the shading and the straight down position for raising the shading.
Refer to the illustration below.
To Open the Vanes
 After lowering the shading completely, continue to pull on the wand at an angle greater
than 25 degrees, until the vanes are fully open.
To Close the Vanes and Raise the Shading
 Hold the wand close to the fabric and pull straight down.
 Pump the wand down using short strokes to gradually raise the shading.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the shading or personal injury, do not release the wand
until it is fully retracted. To avoid breaking the wand, do not use long strokes (over 42") or
apply excessive force on the wand while pulling it.
Two-On-One Headrail UltraGlide Shadings
 Two-On-One Headrail shadings have two wands. The right wand operates the right
shading and the left wand operates the left shading.

Troubleshooting
Problem
The shading will not snap into the installation brackets.
Solution Check that the installation brackets are level. Shim to level, if necessary.
Check that the headrail is completely inserted into the installation brackets.
See “Install the Shading” on page 9.
Problem
The EasyRise
™
cord tensioner has climbed to the headrail.
Solution Pull down on the spring to relieve tension and
pull the cord tensioner to the bottom of the
cord loop. Then properly mount the cord
tensioner. See “Attach the Universal Cord
Tensioner (UCT) — EasyRise™Only” on page 10
and/or the instructions included with your
Universal Cord Tensioner Installation Kit.
Problem
The EasyRise cord tensioner grabs onto the cord when the cord is pulled.
Solution Check that the universal cord tensioner is mounted properly. Reinstall, if
necessary.
Problem
The shading is hard to raise or lower, or will not raise or lower.
Solution Check that there is clearance between the ends of the shading and the
window casement on inside mounts.
Check that the universal cord tensioner is mounted properly. Reinstall, if
necessary.
Check that the installation brackets are level. Shim to level, if necessary.
Check if the fabric rolls up evenly into the headrail. If not, see “Adjusting the
Bottom Rail Weight” on page 16.
If hold-down brackets are used, make sure they have been released.

Problem
The shading raises or lowers unevenly, the bottom rail is not level when
fully raised, or the fabric winds unevenly or starts to rub against one end of
the headrail.
Solution Check that the installation brackets are level. Shim to level, if necessary.
Check if the window is out-of-square by measuring the diagonals. Shim the
installation brackets to level, if necessary.
If the headrail is level and the window is square, adjust the bottom rail
weight.
Adjusting the Bottom Rail Weight
IMPORTANT: Only adjust the bottom rail weight if the fabric does not roll up
straight into theheadrail.
First, release both weight locks. On the back of the bottom rail, insert a flat
blade screwdriver into the slot in each weight lock and
rotate the lock up, toward the center of the rail.
Slide the weight, in 1" increments, in the direction the fabric is gathering.
Test and, if necessary, adjust again.
After final adjustment, rotate each
lock down toward the outside of the
rail to secure the weight. At least 1"
should overhang each lock.

OPERATION
17
Problem
The vanes will not open when the shading is firstoperated.
Solution Open and close the shading quickly to help open the vanes. If necessary,
gently pull down on the bottom rail.
Problem
The vanes do not close completely.They stay contoured and do not flatten.
Solution Use the cord or wand to open and close the vanes quickly. Coax the vanes
as closed as possible. If necessary, gently pull down on the bottom rail. You
may also gently dress the vanes with your hands to help them close. Then roll
up the shading slowly to flatten the vanes. Allow the fabric to remain in the
headrail for up to 24 hours.
To avoid this in the future, regularly “exercise” the shading by raising and
lowering it and opening and closing the vanes.

CARE
18
Removing the Shading
 Fully raise the shading.
 Move each lever of the installation brackets to the
left to release the shading.
 A flat blade screwdriver can be used to move
the lever.
CAUTION: Be very careful not to tear or
damage any of thefabric.
 If the lever is inaccessible or
inoperable, lower the shading
until you can see the underside
of the bracket. Carefully reach
a small flat blade screwdriver
behind the shading to the tab on
bottom of the bracket between
the screw holes.
 Push the tab away from the
shading and pull the headrail to
release it from the bracket.
 Carefully pull the shading to remove
it from the brackets.
Cleaning Procedures
Pirouette®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 sheer backing fabric.
CAUTION: Do not steam Pirouette fabrics.
Fabric-Covered Headrail
 Lightly dust with a clean, dry cloth, vacuum using low suction, or spot clean with a damp
cloth and mild detergent.
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.
