 Hold the cord tensioner firmly in place and check that the cord can
move freely through it. If the cord does not move freely through the
cord tensioner, it is too tight and the cord tensioner and/or bracket
should be moved up. If the cord tensioner locks onto the cord, it is too
loose and the cord tensioner and/or bracket should be moved down.
Mark and pre-drill the screw hole.
 Mount the cord tensioner with a Phillips screwdriver and one of
the longer screws provided to attach the cord tensioner directly to
the wall.
 Finally, ensure the cord can move freely through the cord tensioner
without engaging the lock. The centre of the screw hole should
be aligned with the indicator line on the cord tensioner. Do
not pull the screw hole down to the bottom of the slot. This
may cause the cord to become too tight, affecting the window
covering function and increasing cord wear.
Reveal Mount with a Bracket
 This option uses three screws with the Reveal Mount bracket
and slightly projects the cord loop from the window covering
allowing for easier access. Locate the cord tensioner as close
to the window glass as possible to minimise accessibility by
children and pets. Be sure the cord tensioner is not placed in
the path of the bottom rail and fabric.
 Break off the Reveal Mount bracket and mark screw locations.

 Attach the Reveal Mount bracket to the cord tensioner. The nub on the Reveal
Mount bracket fits into the back of the screw hole in the cord tensioner.
 Insert the small screw into the front of the screw hole to secure the
cord tensioner to the bracket.
 Pull down on the bracket, aligning the centre of the screw hole with the
indicator line on the cord tensioner. Hold the cord tensioner firmly in place and
check that the cord can move freely through it.
 If the cord does not move freely through the cord tensioner, it is too tight and the
cord tensioner and/or bracket should be moved up.
 If the cord tensioner locks onto the cord, it is too loose and the cord
tensioner and/or bracket should be moved down. Mark and pre-drill the
screw holes.
 To mount the cord tensioner, pull down on the Reveal Mount
bracket and align it with the drilled holes. Insert one of the two
longer screws and loosely attach the bracket to the wall. Pivot the
bracket to align it with the second screw and attach the second
screw. Tighten both screws.
 Ensure the cord can move freely through the cord tensioner without engaging the lock. The
centre of the screw hole should be aligned with the indicator line on the cord tensioner. Do
not pull the screw hole down to the bottom of the slot. This may cause the cord to become
too tight, affecting the window covering function and increasing cord wear.

Face Mount
 This option uses three screws and is attached to an Face Mount
bracket. Locate the cord tensioner as close to the window covering
as possible to minimise accessibility by children and pets. Be sure the
cord tensioner is not placed in the path of the bottom rail and fabric.
 Break off the Face Mount bracket and mark
screw locations.
 Attach the Face Mount bracket to the cord tensioner. The nub on the Face
Mount bracket fits into the back of the screw hole in the cord tensioner.
 Insert the small screw into the front of the screw hole to secure the
cord tensioner to the bracket.
 Pull down on the bracket, aligning the centre of the
screw hole with the indicator line on the cord tensioner.
Hold the cord tensioner firmly in place and check that
the cord can move freely through it.
 If the cord does not move freely through the cord tensioner, it is too tight and
the cord tensioner and/or bracket should be moved up. If the cord tensioner
locks onto the cord, it is too loose and the cord tensioner and/or bracket should
be moved down. Mark and pre-drill the screw holes.
 To mount the cord tensioner, detach the cord tensioner from the
bracket by removing the small screw. Use a Phillips screwdriver
and the two longer screws provided to attach the Face Mount

Operate the Shade
IMPORTANT: Top-Down/Bottom-Up
shades have two operating cords.
Standard Bottom-Up shades have one
operating cord.
 Pull down slowly on the rear cord of
the cord loop to lower the shade.
 Pull down slowly on the front cord of
the cord loop to raise the shade.
IMPORTANT: If the cord tensioner
moves up the cord, you have not

frame. You must do so for the
shade to operate properly. See the
instructions in the Universal Cord
Tensioner Installation on page 8.
 To operate Top-Down/Bottom-Up
shades, the right cord operates
the middle rail and the left cord
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.

Level the Rail(s), If Necessary
 Lift the bottom rail to locate the pockets on the
underside of the rail.
 With the middle rail on Top-Down/Bottom-Up
shades, the pockets are on the top side of the
rail.
 Gently pull down on the bottom rail (or up on the
middle rail) to fully insert the 3mm Easy Adjust key
into the pocket. The key is fully inserted when the
base of the key abuts to the pocket.
 Lift up the rail slightly before turning the Easy
Adjust key. Turn the key clockwise to raise that
side of the rail, or counter-clockwise to lower it.
 One quarter turn of the key equals approximately
7mm.
IMPORTANT: The Easy Adjust key must be fully
inserted to avoid stripping the mechanism. Do not
pull down on the rail while turning the key.
 If there are more than two pockets, adjust the outer
pockets first. Then adjust inner pockets as necessary, to maintain equal tension across the rail.
As pocket adjustments are made, it is recommended that the shade be raised and lowered to
check that it is level.

Troubleshooting
Problem
The shade will not fit into the installation brackets.
Solution Check that the installation brackets are level and aligned. Shim the installation
brackets to level the headrail, if necessary.
Be sure the heads of the screws are flush against the installation bracket.
Check that the headrail is completely inserted into the installation brackets.
See “Install the Shade” on page7.
Problem
The shade is hard to raise or lower, or will not raise or lower.
Solution Check that the cord tensioner is mounted correctly. See the instructions in the
Universal Cord Tensioner Installation on page 8.
For Top-Down/Bottom-Up Shades: The lift cords in the headrail may have
“overturned.” Try the following:
 If both rails are in the raised stacked position, at the top of the window, pull down
the back cord of the cord loop that operates the bottom rail.
 With all other problems, pull down the front cord of the cord loop that operates
the middle rail.
Make sure that the shade fabric is not caught between the installation bracket and
the headrail.
Check that the headrail and installation brackets are level and aligned. Shim the
installation brackets to level the headrail, if necessary.
Check that cord loops are not pinched or tangled.
If hold-down brackets are used, make sure they have been released before operating
the shade.
Problem
The shade raises or lowers unevenly or the bottom rail is uneven when fully
raised.
Solution Lower the shade completely to allow it to “self-correct” skewing. Pull the cord loop
slowly to prevent the shade from further skewing.
Check that the headrail and installation brackets are level and aligned. Shim the
installation brackets to level the headrail, if necessary.
For Top-Down/Bottom-Up Shades: Both the middle rail and the bottom rail may
skew if the cord loop is pulled too quickly. Lower each rail completely to allow them
to “self-correct.”
Adjust the bottom rail. See “Level the Rail(s), If Necessary” on page13.

Cleaning Procedures
Luxaflex®Duette®EasyRise Shades are made of anti-static, dust-resistant fabric which repels dirt
and dust. For most honeycomb fabrics, the following cleaning options are available.
Dusting
 Regular light dusting with a feather duster is all the cleaning needed in most circumstances.
Vacuuming
CAUTION: Do not vacuum Architella®Elan translucent or blockout fabrics.
 For deeper cleaning, 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
CAUTION: Do not spot-clean Alexa, Architella Elan or fabric covered valance.
 Prepare a solution of warm water and a mild detergent.
 Dampen a clean cloth in the solution and wring it out.
 Dab the spot with the dampened cloth until it is removed. Do not rub the fabric.
 Allow the shade to dry in the completely lowered (or closed) position.

CHILD SAFETY
18
Protecting Your Children
 Please be aware that blind cords or chains pose a strangulation hazard for children. To reduce the
risk of strangulation this internal window covering must be installed in such a way that a loose
cord cannot form a loop 220 mm or longer at a height of less than 1600mm above floor level.
 Your blind is provided with a cord guide. It is essential that the following installation instructions
are adhered to:
 The cord guide may be installed lower than 1600mm above floor level if the cord is sufficiently
secured or tensioned to prevent a loop of 220mm or longer being formed;
 If a cord guide is installed lower than 1600mm above floor level it must be fitted to prevent a
child from being able to remove the cords.
Cord Tensioner Device & Hardware
 This pack includes the following child safety devices:
 Universal Cord Tensioner - 4152336XXX
 Cord Tensioner Hardware - 4150459000
These safety devices are suitable for installation onto the following surfaces:
 Timber
 Aluminium
 Gyproc (Spring Toggle)
 Brick (Wall Plug)
NOTE: The Spring Toggle and Wall Plug are not included in this pack.
For the shading to operate properly and your window covering to be child safe, the cord tensioner
must be correctly mounted and secured.
Child Safety Installation Instructions
 Be aware that it is possible for children to strangle in window covering cords. To reduce the
possibility of such an accident, all cords and chains must be kept out of reach of children,
including infants. Cord cleats and cord tensioners are an effective way to implement this
essential precaution.
 Please refer to “Installing the Universal Cord Tensioner” on page 8.
