Mark
On Wall
Center each bracket over a mark
on the mounting surface.
Adjust bracket placement
to accommodate any obstructions
to the bottom rail, such as window
cranks or handles.
Check that each bracket is level and
the front edges are aligned. Use the
removed tabs as shims, if necessary.
Attach using two screws through the
top holes.
NOTE: Failure to level and align the brackets may prevent them from
functioning properly.
Back Cover Installation (Optional)
If using the back cover, use pliers
to break off both tabs on the
installation brackets. Remove the
tab on the back cover bracket.
Snap the prongs on the back cover
brackets into the holes on the back
of the installation brackets.
After bracket installation, install the
cover into the back cover bracket.
Outside Mount Applications
Bracket Installation
Center the shading over the window and
mark the ends of the headrail.
Measure 2" in from the marks
on the wall and mark the
bracket locations.
Use pliers to break off both tabs
on each mounting bracket.
Center each bracket over the
marks on the mounting surface.
Adjust bracket position to accommodate any obstructions to the
bottom rail, such as window cranks or handles.
Check that each bracket is level and the tops are aligned. Use the
removed tabs as shims, if necessary.
Attach using two screws through the rear holes.
Spacer Blocks (Optional)
Each spacer block projects brackets ½" from the mounting surface.
Mount spacer blocks with the solid
side facing the mounting surface.
Use two mounting screws.
Screws should be long enough
to secure the bracket to the
mounting surface.
Use a maximum of three spacer
blocks per bracket.
End Mount Applications
End mount the headrail when conventional
mounting techniques will not work, for
example, in an arched window.
Mount the extension brackets on a surface at
least 1¼"wide.
Attach the installation brackets to the
extension brackets using the machine screws
and nuts provided.

In addition, you will need fasteners designed to work with your
specific mounting surfaces:
Contents of the hardware package may vary depending upon how the
shading was ordered and how the shading will be mounted.
Mount The Installation Brackets
Bracket Placement
Measure 2" in from the ends of the headrail and mark the bracket
location on the mounting surface.
Bracket placement is the same for inside and outside mounts.
CAUTION: Do not push down on the limit stops. Limit stop angle
is set at the factory. Over-adjusting the limit stop is not reversible and
may damage the shading.
The number of brackets is determined by the shading width.
Inside Mount Applications
The minimum depth depends on the headrail.
NOTE: Add ¼" to the minimum depth if using the optional
back cover.
Bracket Installation
Use pliers to break off the upper tab of each
bracket. If using the back cover option, see
next section, Back Cover Installation.
NOTE: Remove the bottom tab on each
installation bracket only if it interferes with the
bracket installation.

Adjust The Bottom Rail Weight
To release, insert a flat blade screwdriver
into a weight clip and turn clockwise.
Move the weight in 1" increments
toward the side where the fabric
is gathering.
Secure the weight clips in position by turning them
counterclockwise after making the adjustment.
Test and, if necessary, adjust again.
NOTE: Skew adjustment is not possible by moving the limit
stop assemblies.
Attach The Accessories
Install The Cord Tensioner
See the Universal Cord Tensioner Installation Instructions included with
the cord tensioner.
Attach The Dust Cover (Optional)
Use the entire cover on outside mounts.
On inside mounts, trim the cover along a score to fit over the portion
of the headrail that protrudes from the window frame.
Cut the cover to fit between extension brackets, when used.
Peel the backing from the double-sided tape to attach the cover to
the headrail.
Attach The Hold-Down Brackets (Optional)
Hold-down brackets secure the bottom rail to the sill when the
window shading is fully lowered. The bottom rail can still pivot when
opening and closing the vanes, but the
shading cannot be raised.
With the shading fully lowered,
insert the pin on the hold-down
bracket into the hole on the bottom
rail end cap.
Mark the mounting hole locations
on the mounting surface.
Center the hold-down brackets over
the mounting hole locations and check their alignment. Attach
using two screws.
NOTE: Disconnect the bottom rail from the hold-down brackets to
raise the shading.

CAUTION: For end mounting shadings wider than 48" into material
other than a secure wall stud, use medium to heavy-duty wall anchors
(not provided) matched to the wall thickness. Failure to mount the
brackets securely may result in injury or property damage.
Install The Shading
Hold the shading so
the front faces you.
Push the top edge of
the headrail under the
locking tab on the
installation bracket
until it snaps into
place. The locking tab
will be visible.
WARNING: Failure to snap the headrail securely into the
installation bracket and engage the locking tab may cause the
shading to release unexpectedly.
Operate The Shading
Pull the rear cord of
the cord loop to lower
the shading.
With the shading fully
lowered, continue to
pull the rear cord to
tilt the bottom rail
and open the vanes.
Pull the front cord of
the cord loop to close
the vanes and raise
the shading.

Care And Cleaning
Nantucket™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 facings.
Dusting
Regular light dusting with a feather duster is all the cleaning that is
needed in most circumstances.
Vacuuming
Use a low suction, hand-held vacuum for more
thorough dust removal.
Forced Air
Blow away dirt and debris between the vanes using clean compressed air.
Spot-Cleaning
Do not spot-clean Nantucket window shadings.
Ultrasonic Cleaning
Nantucket shadings can be ultrasonically cleaned by a professional,
with the exception of Misty Harbor™light-dimming fabric.
Specify that a mild detergent solution be used.
Never immerse the headrail in the solution.
Dry the shading completely in the lowered position.
Electrostatic Cleaning
Do not use electrostatic cleaning devices such as Swiffer™or Pledge
Grab-it™on any Nantucket window shadings.

Hunter Douglas Customer Information Center toll free at:

A Note About Nantucket Fabric
As with all textiles, Nantucket fabric is subject to some variations.
Slight wrinkling, puckering, or bowing is inherent to this textile
product and should be considered normal, acceptable quality. These
characteristics are not usually visible from the front or rear but may
be visible from a side angle.
Precautions should be taken to reduce exposure to harsh environmental
elements, such as salt air. Continuous exposure through open
windows and doors will accelerate the fabric deterioration.

Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
Vanes do not align
on side-by-side
shadings.
Vane alignment is only guaranteed within
1/4" when shadings are ordered at the
same time, at the same height, with the
same color and when specified on the
order form.
Check that the windows are square and
the same height.
•
•
The shading is
hard to raise or
lower, or will not
raise or lower.
Shadings cannot be forced into tight
inside-mount window openings. If an
inside mount, check that the shading
is installed correctly. Make sure there is
clearance between the ends of the shading
and the window casement. See Step 1.
Check that the installation brackets are
level. Shim to level, if necessary. See Step 1.
If hold-down brackets are used, make sure
they have been released. See Step 5.
Make sure the fabric is not caught.
•
•
•
•
The shading raises
or lowers unevenly
or the bottom rail
is uneven when
fully raised.
Check that the window is square by
measuring the diagonals.
Check that the installation brackets are
level. Shim to level, if necessary. See Step 1.
Adjust the bottom rail weight. See Step 4.
•
•
•
The shading will
not snap into
the installation
brackets.
Check that the installation brackets are
aligned and level. See Step 1.
Check that the locking tab on the
installation bracket slides over the
headrail. See Step 2.
