Young children can STRANGLE in
cord and bead chain loops. They
can also wrap cords around their
necks and STRANGLE.
• Always keep cords and bead
chains out of children’s reach.
• Move cribs, playpens, and other furniture
away from cords and bead chains. Children
can climb furniture to get to cords.
• Do not tie cords together. Make sure cords
do not twist together and create a loop.
• Attach tension device to wall or oor. This
can prevent children from pulling cords and
bead chains around their necks. Fasteners
provided with the tension device may not
be appropriate for all mounting surfaces. Use
appropriate anchors for the mounting surface
conditions.
• Do not remove looped cord from cord shroud.
Care and Cleaning Warning
!
Releasing a Locked Shade
Dressing the Shade
A shade may become stuck in the down
position if pulled with excessive force.
To release if locked in the down position:
If the adjustment wheel is
on the LEFT, turn it 1/4 of a
turn in this direction.
If the adjustment wheel is
on the RIGHT, turn it 1/4 of
a turn in this direction.
Steaming the Shade
Like every fabric
treatment, a brand
new window fashion
right out of the box
may have wrinkles.
Many of the wrinkles will simply hang out after
a few days. However, for best results, we
recommend steaming your shade once it is
installed.
If a professional steamer is unavailable, a
standard iron with a steam button will work
just as well.
Dressing the Shade
Part of the beauty of a fabric shade is the
folding of the pleats. Often, a pleat on a new
shade will fold in an unusual way.
Once the shade is raised, a little dressing
of the pleats (pulling them into the desired
position) may be necessary.

“L” Brackets are an alternative outside mount
bracket; not recommended for shades with
a 6” classic valance.
(Waterfall Only)
1. Install the Brackets:
Install the top of ‘L’
bracket 3/4” down from
where the top of the
shade measurement
was taken. Make sure all
the brackets are level.
One bracket should
be mounted 5” from
each end of the shade.
Intermediate brackets
should be spaced evenly in between.
2. Secure the Shade:
Place the headrail on
top of the mounted
“L” brackets and then
secure the shade to
the brackets using the
provided 3/4” screws.
New York Brackets are standard for all inside
and outside mount installations.
1. Prepare the Headrail:
The headrail of your shade has been slotted
for New York brackets.
2. Install The Brackets:
Install the New York
Brackets in the
window to line up
with the slots in the
headrail. Make sure
all the brackets are
level with each other.
Remove the wing nuts from the “New York”
brackets and slide the
shade into position by
sliding the shafts of the
brackets into the slots
cut into the top of the
headrail.
3. Secure the Shade:
While holding up the shade, reattach the
wing nuts to the “New
York” brackets and
tighten.
Note: Extended New
York Brackets are
available for outside
mounted shades and project the shade out
an extra 3/4”

2” screws are a quick and easy alternative
inside mount installation method.
1. Insert the Mounting Screws:
With the shade down,
insert the mounting
screws from the
bottom side of the
headrail. One screw
should be mounted
5” from each end
of the shade.
Intermediate screws
should be spaced
evenly in between.
2. Position the Shade:
Hold the shades up and position it in the
window opening. Drive the mounting screws
up through the headrail into the inside of the
window opening, soft, or ceiling.
Always use the control ring
to operate your shade.
Just like a spring roller
shade, a simple quick tug
will get it started.
Never pull on the hem to
operate your shade.
The tension of your shade can be adjusted to
make it go up faster or slower with the white
adjustment wheel at the end of the drive tube.
