■Squeeze the tassel cover with your thumb and forefinger,
as shown.
■Separate and slide the tassel cover off from the tassel body.

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 completely inserted into the installation brackets. See
“Install the Shade” on page 9.
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

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 10 and/or the instructions included with your
Universal Cord Tensioner Installation Kit.
Problem EasyRise shades only: Shades raise 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.
With Top-Down/Bottom-Up Shades only:Check that the top of the fabric
(middle rail) is level. Adjust byhand.
Adjusting the Bottom Weight:
Access the weight on the back of the bottom rail.
Push up on the weight clips to release.
Slide the weight in 1" increments, toward the side where fabric is gathering.
Lower the shade all the way and check that the bottom rail is level. Adjust the
weight until the fabric winds evenly and does not gather on either side.
After final adjustments, slide the weight clips back into place.

Removing the Shade (If Necessary)
■Fully raise the shade.
■While holding the headrail, place the
flat blade screwdriver on the installation
bracket’s locking tab.
➤Insert the screwdriver between the
arrows on the bottom tabs.
■Push up to release the shade.
IMPORTANT: On longer shades, you
might need to lower the shade slightly to
access the locking tab.
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.

CARE

Ultrasonic Cleaning
Vignette®Modern Roman Shades can be ultrasonically cleaned by a professional.
CAUTION: Do not ultrasonically clean the headrail, midrail, 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 fabric on the
headrail or bottom rail.
■Specify the dry cleaning method only.
■Pretreat heavy stains.
Steaming
CAUTION: Do not steam the fabric on the headrail midrail, or bottom rail.
■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.
