Thank you for purchasing Hunter Douglas Cadence®Soft Vertical Blinds. With proper installation,
operation, and care, your new blind will provide years of beauty and performance. Please
thoroughly review this instruction booklet and enclosed packing list before beginning the
installation.
■Remove headrail, louvers, and DualFold™valance from the package. Do not discard any of
the packaging material until the blind operates to your satisfaction.
■Contents of your hardware package may vary depending upon whether the headrail is
mounted inside or outside the window frame.
Mounting Types and Window Terminology
If the installation brackets are mounted correctly, the rest of the installation process follows very
easily. To prepare for this important first step, review the mounting types and basic window
terminology illustrated below.
Installation Components Needed
Check the packaging to be sure you have all the
components needed to install your blind.
IMPORTANT: For outside mount valance installations,
the short valance hanger, see “Optional Components”
on page 4, count will be the same as the headrail
installation brackets.

Required Components
■Installation Brackets:
➤EZ-On Installation Bracket. These installation brackets are
used for inside and ceiling mounts. They are also included with
the other two installation brackets shown below.
➤3½" L-Bracket with EZ-On Installation Bracket. These are
used as standard outside mount brackets.
➤Adjustable Bracket Assembly with EZ-On Installation
Bracket. These are used when the headrail needs to be further
from the wall than the distance the 31/2" L-Bracket can achieve.
■Short Valance Hanger. These are used with blinds that have a
valance and are in addition to the above mounting brackets.
Optional Components
■Leveling Valance Bracket. These are used to help support the
valance if the returns are not long enough to contact the wall.
■Outside Mount Deluxe L-Bracket without EZ-On Installation
Bracket. These are used with the 41/2" slider extension plate listed
below. This is a heavier bracket than the adjustable bracket assembly
with the EZ-On installation bracket and will allow you to move the
headrail even further from the wall.
■41/2" Slider Extension Plate. These are used with the outside
mount deluxe L-bracket and will allow you to move the headrail even
further from the wall. Attach an EZ-On installation bracket to this
bracket to attach the headrail.
■4" Heavy-Duty Wall Bracket. These are vertical space-saving
brackets that will also allow you to extend the headrail beyond the
standard distance from the wall. Attach an EZ-On installation bracket
to this bracket to attach the headrail.
■Mounting Shim. These wedges are used in pairs to level a headrail.
■Screw and Nut. These are used to attach the EZ-On installation brackets
and the slider extension plates to other installation brackets.
