Valance Installation
The type of valance attachment included in your package will vary depending
on the product you have ordered. Several products utilize the magnet system
which allows you to simply place the valance directly on to the headrail. No
clips are necessary.
To attach the valance clips to the front of the headrail, simply push down on the
clip to snap it into place. Install one bracket at each end of the headrail and
space others evenly. Do not place clips more than 48” apart.
Note: If the valance is outside mounted, attach the valance returns using the
provided “L” brackets. Simply slide the “L” bracket on to both slots in the back-
side of the valance and returns.
Tilt Wand Attachment
1. Attach wand to tip over the end of the tilter hook.
2. Slide the clear cover down to old the wand into place.
Optional Components
Spacer Blocks
Use spacer blocks or extension brackets to project the standard mounting
brackets out over obstructions (such as window moldings or ledges).

Extension Bracket
Attach 2” or 4” extension brackets to the mounting surface in the same
locations where the end brackets and intermediate brackets would be
attached. Use the provided screws to mount each extension bracket.
IMPORTANT: The tops of the end brackets and intermediate bracket(s)
must align.
Optional Components
Hold Down Bracket
Use hold-down brackets to prevent blinds from swaying when mounted on
doors or exposed to the wind. Screw hold-down bracket into the lower corner of
window jam or sill. Drill a small hole in the center of the bottom rail to slip hold-
down pin (extending from hold-down bracket) into blind.

Raising and Lowering the Blind
To Raise the Blind:
- Prior to raising or lowering, tilt the slats to the open position using the tilt
mechanism on the left or right side of the blind.
- Grasp the bottom rail near the center with one hand while balancing the
bottom rail with your other hand.
- Fully press the center button with your thumb and gently lift the bottom rail.
- Allow the slats to stack evenly by gradually lifting the bottom rail while the
center button is fully depressed.
- Hold the rail still at the desired position while releasing the button.
For inside mount blinds: When raising the blind, pull the bottom rail slightly
toward you. Press the center button and gently raise the bottom rail. Once the
desired height is reached, hold the rail in place while releasing the button. Place
the blind back into the window opening and the blind will stay in that position.
To Lower the Blind:
- Prior to lowering the blind, fully press the center button with your thumb and
pull the bottom rail down to the desired height while the button is fully
depressed.
- Once the blind reaches the preferred position, hold it there while releasing the
button and the blind will stay in that position.
For inside mount blinds: When lowering the blind to the full-down position, pull
the bottom rail down and slightly toward you, approximately 1” beyond the sill.
Release the button, then lift and place the bottom rail up onto the sill.

Troubleshooting
Problem: The bottomrail is not level or the blind hangs crooked
Solution: Check that the headrail and installation brackets are level and
aligned. Shim the installation brackets if necessary.
NOTE: All skew adjustment features are located under the headrail.
To level the blind, raise the low side of the bottom rail by turning the screw
adjustment feature on the headrail clockwise with a coin or screwdriver while
lifting the weight from the bottom rail.
NOTE: Turn the scew sdjustment that is onthe same side as the low side of the
bottomrail.
If the blind height is too long, turn all the skew adjustment features clockwise to
raise the entire bottom rail to the desired height while lifting the weight from the
bottom rail. There is an adjustment range of approximately 1-1/4”.
Problem: The blind makes a ratcheting noise while the center button is
pushed in and the bottomrail is being raised.
Solution: Push harder on the center buttom. The button must be fully
depressed to raise or lower the blind.
Problem: When raising the blind, slats are not stacking evenly and falling over
the bottom rail.
Solution: The blind was raised too quickly. Gently raise the bottom rail to give
the lift cords time to retract. The slats will then stack evenly on the bottom rail.

Removing the Blind - if necessary
- Fully raise the blind
- Remove the valance.
- Push up on the bottom of the bracket to release the locking tab.
- Carefully pull the blind to remove it from the brackets.
