INSTALLATION
INSIDE MOUNT (IM)
STEP 1: MARKING THE BRACKET LOCATIONS
IMPORTANT: Before marking bracket locations, ensure that your bracket placement
will not interfere with any components inside the headrail.
• Verify that your window casing has a minimum depth of ½" which allows for a
partially recessed headrail mount.
• If flush mount (fully recessed mount) is desired, a minimum mounting depth of
2 1⁄8" is required.
• Mark 1-2" inches from each jamb for bracket location.
• With a pencil, mark the longer, oblong drill hole locations through the top of the
holes of the bracket, 2 holes per bracket.
• If more than two installation brackets come with your order, space additional
bracket(s) evenly between the two end brackets, no more than 30" apart, and
mark drill hole locations.

loop to raise the shade to the desired height.
Bottom-Up Shade
ADJUSTING ALIGNMENT AND FOLDS
To ensure the shade raises and lowers evenly, the roman bar clips on the back of the
shade may need to be adjusted. These clips are self aligning, however they can shift
out of alignment from time-to-time.
• The shade should be adjusted to the fully lowered position.
• Locate the cord route in the top of the headrail behind the shade.
• On the back of the shade, adjust any roman bar clips by hand that are out of
vertical alignment with the cord location in the headrail.
REMOVING THE SHADE
• Fully raise the shade.
• Step 1: Use a flathead screwdriver and push downwards on spring tab and then
rotate the front headrail.
• Step 2: While pushing back on the headrail, rotate the front of the headrail up.
Never force the spring tab beyond the back of the brackets.
Step 2
CAUTION: Hold shade firmly when removing. Failure to do so may result in
the shade falling and possible injury.
!

CLEANING AND CARE
Additional Notes
• Once mounted, leave the shade in the lowered position for 48 hours to
release any wrinkles in the fabric.
• Shades made from patterned fabrics may differ slightly in the location of
of the pattern from shade to shade. This is due to normal variation in the roll
from which the fabric is cut for the shade.
• With time, soft folds may settle or flatten. Shades that are raised regularly
will be less subject to settling and will maintain a more relaxed appearance.
DUSTING
Use a feather duster for regular cleaning.
FORCED AIR
Blow away dirt and debris using clean compressed air.
PROFESSIONAL INJECTION/EXTRACTION CLEANING
Call local on-site blind/shade cleaner that injects a cleaning solution
into the fabric and extracts the dirty solution at the same time. The
service is typically performed at home so you do not need to remove
your window treatments.
VACUUMING
Use a low suction vacuum with a brush-type cleaner attachment;
stroke lightly over the shade to clean.
SPOT-CLEANING/STAIN REMOVAL AT HOME
Use warm water and a mild soap, like Woolite® or Scotchgard®,
if needed. Do not immerse shade in water.
CLEANING PROCEDURES
A brush-type vacuum attachment or feather duster should be used for cleaning. If your
shade should become stained, you may clean it by dabbing the spot with a sponge
dampened with lukewarm water. Do not immerse shade in water. Avoid contact with
window cleaning products as these may discolor your shade. Ultrasonic cleaning is not
recommended or covered by our warranty. Improper cleaning may damage the shade
and void warranty.
