IMPORTANT: The front edges of the installation
brackets must be level and aligned to eachother. For the best experience, mount the
brackets with the front lip outside the window casement.
■Pre-drill the screw holes using a
3
/ 32 " drill bit.
CAUTION: Use drywall anchors when mounting
into drywall.
■Use a level to check that the mounting surface is level.
Shim (not provided) the brackets if necessary.
■Attach the installation brackets using the screws provided.

Attach the Universal Cord Tensioner — EasyRise™Shades Only
Before you proceed, you must first slide the cord tensioner(s) to the bottom of the cord loop.
■Insert a small screwdriver, punch, or awl through
the screw hole at the bottom of the cord tensioner.

■Attach the cord tensioner(s) according to the
instructions provided with the Universal Cord
Tensioner Installation Kit.
WARNING: It is imperative that the cord tensioner(s) be properly secured to
the wall or window frame to reduce children’s access to the cord loop. Young
children can strangle in cord loops. They can also wrap cords around their
necks and strangle.
CAUTION: The shade will not operate properly unless the cord tensioner(s)
is secured. A Universal Cord Tensioner Installation Kit has been included
with your shade. Follow the instructions in the kit to correctly secure the
cordtensioner(s).

Cord Adjustment — UltraGlide®Shades Only
Adjusting the tassel to eye level will decrease the amount of pulls needed to raise and lower
theshade. This will also enhance child and pet safety.
To Shorten the tassel cord:

frosted body).
■Squeeze the tassel cover with your thumb and forefinger,
as shown.
■Separate and slide the tassel cover off from the tassel body.
■Pull out the knotted end of the tasselcord.
■Tie the cord at the desired shorter length, using a double knot.
■Trim the tassel cord below the knot.
■Pull the trimmed knot up inside the tassel.
■Squeeze the tassel cover while sliding it back onto the tassel body.
IMPORTANT: After reassembling, be sure that there are no gaps between the two
components. Check that they do not pull apart easily. The tassel cover should be securely
seated into 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 (not provided) 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 shade will not snap into the installation brackets.
Solution Check that the installation brackets are aligned and level. Level the headrail by
shimming (not provided) the installation brackets, if necessary.
Check that the headrail is properly aligned and inserted into the installation
brackets. See “Install the Shade” on page 9.
Problem Two-On-One Headrail Shades Only: The center gap is not even from the top
to the bottom of the shade, interfering with the function of the shade.
Solution Ensure the entire length of the headrail is straight and level. If the center portion
of the headrail is higher than the ends, the center gap will close together. If the
center portion of the headrail is lower than the ends, the center gap increases.
If necessary, adjust the height of each bracket by moving it within the screw
slots or by using shims (not provided).

OPERATION
16
Problem The fabric folds are wrinkled, creased, or gather unevenly.
Solution Similar to clothing, Vignette®shades may require dressing throughout the life of
the shade. Dress the fabric by opening and closing your shade(s) several times
to realign the fabric folds.
The folds may also be dressed by hand with a gentle tug on each edge of the
fabric fold(s) where indentations appear.
Steaming Vignette Shades
For deeper wrinkles and creases, light steaming may be required. In lieu of
steaming, commercially available wrinkle release sprays may be used. Only the
face side of the shades should be sprayed, not the back liner. Depending on
style and fabric, slight wrinkles, puckers or other fabric variations may remain
and are inherent to this product. Do not steam the fabric on the headrail, bottom
rail, or back liners.
A “Fabric Steaming” video is available on YouTube (Vignette Modern Roman
Shades—Fabric Steaming—Hunter Douglas) and from Hunter Douglas Learning
and Development at my.hunterdouglas.com.
Problem The front fabric appears tocling to the backfabric.
Solution With the shade in the lowered position, lightly apply a static spray for home
furnishings. Follow the manufacturer’s directions on the can’s label.
Follow these steps:
1. Hold the can 6" to 8" from the fabric panel and lightly spray across the
fabric folds.
2. Raise and lower the shade 1 or 2 times to check for static reduction.
3. Allow the shade to dry in the fully lowered position.
If necessary, reapply the static spray each time the shade is professionally
cleaned.
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 (not provided)
the installation brackets, if necessary.
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.

CARE

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.
CAUTION: Be very careful not to tear or
damage the fabric.
■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
■Spot clean using a sponge or delicate cloth, warm distilled water, and a mild soap solution.
Handle with care as you would any fine 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.
