Lower Raise

OPERATION
12
UltraGlide®Shades
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the shade or personal injury, do not let go of the cord until it is
fully retracted.
To Lower the Shade:
■Pull the cord toward the center of the shade
at a 45° angle. A locking mechanism at the
top of the cord releases with a “click”. The
shade automatically lowers as you allow the
cord to retract, releasing the tension.
■To stop the shade while lowering, move the
cord back toward the vertical position and
give a slight downward pull, until the locking
mechanism engages.
■If the shade hits an obstruction as it is lowered, it will stop and the internal cords may
become misaligned. This may cause the shade to be angled or tilted when fully raised. If this
occurs, do the following:
➤Raise the shade slightly.
➤Lower the shade completely to the sill. In some cases, pull gently on the bottom rail to
get it to drop completely.
IMPORTANT: If the shade is tilted when fully raised, do not pull harder on the cord. It does
not correct the tilt and may make it worse. See “Troubleshooting” starting on page13.
NOTE: On inside mount shades, the bottom rail and fabric folds may rest on the sill.
To Raise the Shade:
■Pull the cord straight down using short
evenstrokes.
➤With each stroke the shade partially raises.
➤Allow the cord to retract after each
downward stroke.
➤Use multiple strokes until the shade
reaches the desired position.
NOTE: Tiered™UltraGlide shades stop below
the first fold in the fuly raised position to provide clearance for cord operation.
Top-Down/Bottom-Up Shades:
■Theleft cord controls the bottom rail. Theright cord controls the middle rail.
IMPORTANT: You must first lower the bottom rail before lowering the middle rail. Likewise,
you must first raise the middle rail before raising the bottom rail.
To Lower:
Pull the cord
toward the
center, click
and release.
To Raise:
Pull the
cord straight
down with
short strokes.
Allow the cord to retract between strokes.
To stop the shade while lowering, move the cord
back toward the vertical position and give a slight
downward pull, engaging the locking mechanism.

Troubleshooting
Problem The shade is hard to raise or lower, or will not raise or lower.
Solution Check that the headrail and installation brackets are level and aligned in the
window. Level the headrail by shimming the installation brackets, if necessary.
Make sure the fabric is not caught in the installationbrackets.
EasyRise™shades: Check that the cord tensioner is mounted correctly.
See Universal Cord Tensioner Installation Instructions in the kit included with
your shade.
EasyRise shades: Check that cord loop is not pinched or tangled.
UltraGlide®shades: As you pull the cord, check that the cord is clearing the
fabric folds.
LiteRise®shades: Pull down on the handle to engage the shade for operation.
Problem The fabric folds gather unevenly or seem to wrinkle.
Solution Slowly lower the shade and raise the shade again.
NOTE: This is inherent on narrow shades when fully stacked.
Problem The shade will not snap into the installation brackets.
Solution Check that the installation brackets are aligned and level. Level the headrail by
shimming the installation brackets, if necessary.
Check that the headrail is properly aligned in the installation brackets, see
“Install the Shade” on page 8.
Check that the fabric is not caught in the brackets.
Problem The front fabric appears to cling to the back fabric.
Solution Lightly apply a static spray for home furnishings. Follow the manufacturer’s
directions. If necessary, reapply the static spray each time the shade is
professionally cleaned. Allow the shade to dry in the fully lowered position.

OPERATION
14
Problem EasyRise™shades only: The universal cord tensioner has climbed to the
headrail.
Solution Pull down on the spring to relieve tension and pull the
universal cord tensioner to the bottom of the cord loop.
Properly mount the cord tensioner. See “Attach the
Universal Cord Tensioner — EasyRise Shades Only”
on page 9 and/ or the instructions included with
your Universal Cord Tensioner Installation Kit.
Problem EasyRise shades only: The shade raises at different rates when the cord is
pulled.
Solution Depending on the size and weight of the shades, the clutch ratios may be
different. More cord travel is required with larger shades than with smaller
shades. This is completely normal, and not a defect of the product.
Problem The shade raises or lowers unevenly, or the bottom rail is uneven when fully
raised.
Solution Check that the headrail is level. Level the headrail by shimming the installation
brackets, if necessary.
Problem UltraGlide®shades only: Shades do not stack fully to the top.
Solution Check that the headrail is level. Level the headrail by shimming the installation
brackets, if necessary.

Removing the Shade
■While holding the headrail, lower the shade
approximately 4".
■Push back on the bottom tab of the installation
bracket using your thumb or a flat blade
screwdriver to release the bottom edge of
theheadrail.
■After releasing the bottom edge, roll the back of the
headrail down and out from the bracket.
Cleaning Procedures
Vignette®Modern Roman Shades are made of an anti-static, dust-resistant fabric which repels
dirt and dust. For most fabrics, the options below 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)
■Blow dirt and debris from within the fabric folds using clean, compressed air.
Spot-Cleaning
■Prepare a solution of warm water and mild detergent.
■Dampen a clean cloth in the solution and wring it out.
■Place a dry, clean cloth behind the spot between the face fabric and the back fabric.
■Dab the spot with the dampened cloth until it is removed. Non-oil-based baby wipes may be
used on more stubborn stains. Do not rub the fabric.
■Allow the shade to dry in the completely lowered position.
Back of

CARE

Ultrasonic Cleaning
Vignette®Modern Roman Shades can be ultrasonically cleaned by a professional.
CAUTION: Do not ultrasonically clean the headrail, midrail, or bottom rail fabric; or any room-
darkening shades.
■Specify that a mild detergent solution be used.
■Never immerse the fabric-covered headrail or bottom rail into the solution.
■Allow the shade to dry in the completely lowered position.
Injection / Extraction Cleaning
Vignette Modern Roman Shades can be cleaned by a professional using the injection/extraction
method of deep cleaning.
CAUTION: Do not use the injection/extraction method of deep cleaning on the headrail or
bottom rail fabric.
■Specify the dry cleaning method only.
■Pretreat heavy stains.
Steaming
CAUTION: Do not steam the headrail, midrail, or bottom rail fabric.
■Steam the face fabric from the bottom to the top, making sure to get steam under each
fabric fold. Be careful not to saturate the fabric with steam.
■Allow the shade to dry completely before raising it.
A Note on Textiles
As with all textiles, Vignette fabrics are subject to some inherent variations in the fabric weave.
Subtle dye-lot variations, puckering, or wrinkling fall within textile industry standards and should
be considered as normal, acceptable quality. Additionally, there will be slight differences in
pattern alignment from the fabric on the rails to the fabric of the shade, which do not detract
from the product’s appeal.
Variations in color and or pattern are unique characteristics that contribute to the classic beauty
of theshade.

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 the cord tensioner installation 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.
