Duette®Shades
The information and advice included in this brochure has been prepared
with care. However, we are unable to accept responsibility for the results
of or any damage caused during operation.
As with all textiles, Luxaflex®fabrics are subject to some variations. Slight
wrinkling, puckering or bowing is inherent in textile products and should
be considered normal, acceptable quality. 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. 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 colour and/
or pattern irregularities are unique characteristics that contribute tothe
classic beauty of a shade.

Welcome to the
Luxaflex lifestyle
Thank you for purchasing Luxaflex®
Duette®Shades. With proper operation
and care your new blinds will provide years
of beauty and performance. Please review
this instruction booklet thoroughly for
operation and care information.

Ultraglide®Operation
For smooth operation, keep the wand close to the
fabric when raising and lowering the shade.
To lower the shade:
1. Pull the wand toward the centre of the shade at about
a 45° angle. A locking mechanism at the top of the
wand releases with a “click.” The shade lowers as you
allow the wand to return to the vertical position.
IMPORTANT: The wand must be pulled in towards
the front of the shade. Do not pull the wand out away
from the shade.
2. To stop the shade while lowering, move the
wand back toward the vertical position and
give a slight downward pull, until the locking
mechanismengages.
IMPORTANT: If the shade is installed in reveal fit
or stopping the shade is difficult, angle the wand
at 45 degrees towards the control mechanism to
re-engage it.
3. If the shade hits an obstruction as it is lowered, it will
stop, which may cause the cords in each cord route
to become misaligned. This may cause the shade to
be angled or tilted when fully raised. If this occurs,
do the following:
a) Raise the shade slightly.
b) Lower the shade completely to the sill. In some
cases, pull gently on the bottom rail to get it to
dropcompletely.
IMPORTANT: If the shade is tilted when fully raised,
donot pull harder on the wand. It does not correct
the tilt and may make it worse.
To raise the shade:
Pull the wand straight down or slightly toward the outside.
a) With each stroke the shade partially raises.
b) Allow the wand to retract after each downward
stroke.
c) Use multiple strokes until the shade reaches the
desired position.
Duolite and Top Down/Bottom Up
To operate Duolite and Top Down/Bottom Up shades,
the right wand operates the middle rail and the left
wand operates the bottom rail (unless reverse controls
were specified on the order).
IMPORTANT: You must first lower the bottom rail
before lowering the middle rail. Likewise, you must first
raise the middle rail before raising the bottom rail.

EasyRise®Operation
To raise the shade:
Slowly and steadily pull down on the front cord of the
continuous cord loop. Allow the shade to stack evenly.
To lower the shade:
Slowly and steadily pull down on the rear cord of the
continuous cord loop.
Top Down/Bottom Up
Shades with the Top Down/Bottom Up design options
have two moving rails and two operating cords. The
right continuous cord loop operates the middle rail, and
the left continuous cord loop operates the bottom rail
(unless reverse controls were specified on the order).
IMPORTANT: You must first lower the bottom rail
before lowering the middle rail. Similarly, you must first
raise the middle rail before raising the bottom rail.
Vertiglide Operation
Centre Stack
• Use the handles to traverse the shade to the
desiredposition.
• The fabric panel can be positioned anywhere in the
window opening. It can stack left, stack right, stack
centre or cover the entire opening.
• Magnets in the moving rail brackets will secure the
shade in the fully closed position.
Side Stack
• Use the handle to traverse the shade to the
desiredposition.
• A magnet in the moving rail will secure the shade
inthe fully closed position.

PowerView®Motorisation
PowerView®Pebble®Remote and/or PowerView
SurfaceRemote
For information regarding operation and programming
of the PowerView Remote, refer to your PowerView
Motorisation Remote Control Guide.
PowerView Scene Controller
For information regarding operation and programming
of the PowerView Scene Controller, refer to your

PowerView App
The PowerView Hub is required for PowerView
Appoperation on your smartphone or tablet.
NOTE: Vertiglide operation with PowerView
Motorisation can be used with or without the motor.
Gently pull on the moving rail and the shade slides
easily from side to side. The shade can also be
disengaged from the mechanism with a firm tug in case
of an urgent need or emergency and reattached easily.
Split Stack
• Use the handles to traverse the shade to the
desiredposition.
• Magnets in the moving rails will secure the shade
inthe fully closed position.
NOTE: Each panel can be moved independently, but no
further than the halfway point of the headrail. When fully
closed, the two panels meet in the centre.
Split Stack Duolite
Each panel can be moved independently, and each
panel can span the full width of the shade. The shade
can be fully closed anywhere along the travel of the
shade, wherever the two moving rails meet.
Standard Cord Lock Operation
To raise or lower the shade:
Keep the cord close to the fabric when operating the
shade. Simply disengage the cord lock by moving the
cord toward the centre of the shade. Pull on the cord to
raise the shade. Engage the cord lock by returning the
cord to the original position.
Duolite and Top Down/Bottom Up
To operate Duolite and Top Down/Bottom Up shades,
the right cord operates the centre rail and the left cord
operates the bottom rail.
IMPORTANT: You must first lower the bottom rail
before lowering the centre rail. Likewise, you must first
raise the centre rail before raising the bottom rail.

Care and cleaning
Duette Shades are made of anti-static, dust-resistant
fabric which repels dirt and dust. For most Duette
fabrics, the following cleaning options are available.
Routine Maintenance
Dusting
Regular light dusting with a feather duster is all the
cleaning needed in most circumstances.
Vacuuming
For more thorough dust removal, vacuum gently with a
brush attachment.
Compressed air/hair dryer (cool setting)
Use compressed air or a hair dryer on a cool setting to
blow dust and dirt off shades.
Spot cleaning
1. Prepare a solution of warm water and a milddetergent.
2. Dampen a clean cloth in the solution and wring itout.
3. Dab the spot with the dampened cloth until it
isremoved. Do not rub the fabric.
4. Allow the shade to dry in the completely
loweredposition.
Deep Cleaning
Bathtub cleaning/water immersion
1. Immerse the shade in a basin or bath tub filled with
warm water and a mild detergent.
IMPORTANT: Never immerse the headrail into
the solution.
2. Rinse with clean water.
3. Before removing from the rinse water, fully raise the
shade and tilt it to allow excess water to drain off.
4. Dry the shade completely in the completely
loweredposition.
CAUTION: Do not immerse Alexa, Elan, India Silk,
Panache, Ménage, Aurora, Sheer Opalessence, Leela,
Myst and blockout fabrics.
Ultrasonic cleaning
• Use a mild detergent solution.
CAUTION: Never immerse the headrail into
the solution.
• Dry the shade completely in the lowered position.
CAUTION: Do not ultrasonically clean Myst, Sheer
Opalessence, and all blockout fabrics.
Injection/extraction cleaning
This type of professional cleaning injects a cleaning
solution into the fabric and extracts the dirty solution
in the same motion. Contact your Luxaflex store of
purchase to find out if this is available in your area.
Use only the dry method of injection/extraction
for Architella®Elan, Ménage and if using injection/
extraction for Alexa and Aurora fabrics, specifythat no
chemicals are used (water only).
IMPORTANT
• Do not vacuum Elan, Myst and Ménage translucent
and blockout fabrics.
CAUTION: Do not spot clean Alexa, Elan, India
Silk, Leela, Ménage and Aurora fabrics.
