Step 6: Blind Installaon
Aach the plasc valance clips to the front of the headrail, one at each
end. Space any remaining clips evenly. Hold the valance into the clips.
Align the headrail with the center support and box brackets. The head-
rail should have the lt mechanism facing toward the room. Be careful
not to trap the top slat in the brackets and slide the headrail straight
back unl it is snug in the brackets. If the headrail can slide from side to
side in the box brackets, you can use a at head screwdriver to bend out
the tabs on the end of the unl it is snug.
Lower the front gate of each box brack-
et and press unl the locking tab clicks
into place.

Screw brackets into wall as shown.
(For Inside Mount Installaons)
Screw brackets in window frame as shown.
With the hold-down brackets aached to
the boom rail, lower the blind to the hold
down bracket mounng surface and mark
the bracket locaons. Aach the hold down
brackets at the boom of the window or
door with the included screws as shown. To
aach the boomrail, gently pull the brack-
ets out slightly, and insert the pins into the
holes on the boomrail of the blinds.
To lower the blind, pull the cord down and towards the center of the shade to unlock the cord. Then, slowly release the cord unl the shade reaches the
desired locaon. Move the cord past the outer edge of the shade and let go to lock the cord.
To raise the blind, pull the cord straight down unl the shade reaches the desired locaon. Move the cord past the outer edge of the shade and let go to

Outside Mount Valances: For aluminum blinds
ordered as outside mount, the aluminum slats
used for the valance, will be made wider than
the headrail. Aach the slats to the plasc
valance clips, and then bend both the le and
right sides of the valance so that the aluminum
valance slats cover the box installaon brackets.
