LuxaFlex Modern Roman User manual

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 the softshade.

Modern Roman Shades

Welcome to the
Luxaflex lifestyle
Thank you for purchasing Luxaflex®Modern
Roman 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.

Operation
Ultraglide®operation
To lower the shade:
1. Pull the cord toward the centre of the shade at a 45°
angle. A locking mechanism at the top of the cord
releases with a “click”. The shade automatically lowers
as you allow the cord to retract, releasing the tension.
2. To stop the shade while lowering, move the cord
back toward the vertical position and give a slight
downward pull, until the locking mechanism engages.
3. If the shade hits an obstruction as it is lowered, it will
stop and the internal cords may 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.
NOTE: On inside mount shades, the bottom rail
and fabric folds may rest on the sill.
To raise the shade:
1. Pull the cord straight down using short even strokes.
With each stroke the shade partially raises.
2. Allow the cord to retract after each downwardstroke.
3. Use multiple strokes until the shade reaches
thedesired position.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the shade or personal
injury, do not let go of the cord until it is fully retracted.

EasyRise operation
To lower the shade:
Pull the front cord of the cord loop to lower the shade
from the top. Continue to pull until the shade is fully
lowered and rotated back toward the window.
To raise the shade:
Pull the rear cord of the cord loop to raise the shade.
Continue to pull the rear cord to raise the shade into
theheadrail.
LiteRise operation
For better support and smoother operation, use the
handle when raising and lowering the shade.
To lower the shade:
Gently pull down on the bottom rail handle. The shade
will retract slightly to the desired position.
To raise the shade:
Gently pull down on the handle to engage the shade.
Then steadily raise the shade into the headrail or retract
the shade to the desired position.

Motorised operation
For motorisation information, please refer to the PowerView®
product brochure that is supplied with your shadings.

Care and cleaning
Modern Roman Shades are made with anti-static,
dust-resistant fabrics that repel dirt and dust. For most
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
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
1. Prepare a solution of warm water and mild detergent.
2. Dampen a clean cloth in the solution and wring it out.
3. Place a clean, dry cloth behind the spot between the
face fabric and the back fabric.
4. 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.
5. Allow the shade to dry in the completely
loweredposition.
Deep cleaning
Steaming
• Steam the face fabric from the bottom to the top,
making sure to get steam under each fabric fold.
Be careful not to saturate the fabric with steam.
• Allow the shade to dry completely before raising it.
CAUTION: Do not steam the headrail, middle rail or
bottom rail fabric.

Ultrasonic cleaning
Modern Roman Shades (translucent fabrics only) can
be ultrasonically cleaned by a professional.
• Specify that a mild detergent solution be used.
• Never immerse the headrail into the solution.
• Allow the shade to dry in the completely
loweredposition.
CAUTION: Do not ultrasonically clean the headrail, middle
rail or bottom rail fabric or any room-darkening fabrics.
Injection/extraction cleaning
Modern Roman Shades can be cleaned by a professional
using the injection/extraction method. Contact your Luxaflex
store of purchase to find out ifthis is available in your area.
• Specify the dry cleaning method only.
• Pretreat heavy stains.
• Allow the shade to dry in the completely
loweredposition.
CAUTION: Do not use the injection/extraction method
of cleaning on the headrail or bottomrail fabric.
