Importance of Limit Stops on Capri Sheer Shadings
Limit stops serve as the upper travel limit for the bottom rail, preventing it from
rotating around the fabric roll. Limit stops are located 6" from the ends of the
headrail or are centered on shadings less than 36" wide.
When a shading is made, the limit stops are adjusted according to the size of the
fabric roll. Occasionally, this adjustment changes during shipping or installation.
If this happens, problems can be fixed by readjusting the limit stops. See page
12 in the Troubleshooting section if shading operation is difficult or if the bottom
rail rotates around the fabric roll. Shown below are the four possible positions
of limit stops for large to small fabric rolls.
Large Fabric Roll Small Fabric Roll
In addition, you will need fasteners designed to work with your specific
mounting surface(s).
#6 Hex Head Screws (Provided). Two 11/2" screws are provided
per installation bracket.
Longer #6 Hex Head Screws (Not Provided). If using spacer blocks,
use #6 screws long enough for a secure attachment.
Speed Nuts and Screws (Provided). Extension brackets come with
screws and speed nuts.

Mount the Installation Brackets — Inside Mount
Prepare the Installation Brackets
If using the optional back cover: Use pliers or
heavy-duty scissors to remove both the top and
bottom tabs on the installation brackets.
Then remove the top tab on the back
cover brackets.
Snap the prongs on the back cover brackets
into the holes on the back of the installation
brackets.
If not using the optional back cover: Remove the
top tab only on the installation brackets.
NOTE: Save these tabs once removed. They may be used as shims, if necessary.
Mount the Installation Brackets
Mark 2"to 3" from each jamb for bracket location.
If more than two installation brackets came with your order, space additional
bracket(s) evenly between the two end brackets and mark their location.
Mount into wood whenever possible.
The minimum casement depth for installation
bracketsis 1". Mark the rear set of installation
bracket holes with shallow mounting depths.
The minimum casement depth for a fully recessed
mountis 35/16". Mark the front set of bracket holes
when depth permits.
Add 1/4" to the minimum depths if using the
optional back cover.
IMPORTANT: The front edges of the brackets must be level and aligned to each other.

will close first and then the shading will retract into the headrail.
NOTE:
IMPORTANT:
NOTE
:
Once you are done operating the shading, lift the pull ring toward the front
of the bottom rail until the magnet holds it in place.
With inside mounted shadings, you may need to pull the bottom rail
away from the window to release the locking mechanism.
To reposition the shading, it must be raised several inches first to
reset the mechanism and then pulled down to the new position.

Troubleshooting
Problem The shading will not snap into the installation brackets.
Solution Check that the installation brackets are aligned and level.
Check that the locking tab on the installation bracket slides
over the headrail.

The shading is hard to raise or lower, or the bottom rail does not stop
at the top limit.
Check the adjustment position
of both limit stops. The top
illustration shows the correct
adjustment. The limit stop
catches the bottom rail,
and the bottom of the limit
stop is slightly above or barely
touching the fabric roll.
In the second illustration, the
limit stop adjustment is too tight.
The fabric may not drop freely
and could even be damaged
when the shading is raised.
To correct this, the limit stop
should be adjusted one step up.
Simply pull back on the rear of
the limit stop to adjust its position.
In the bottom illustration, the
adjustment is too loose. The
bottom rail can slip under
the limit stop. If the bottom rail
rotates through the headrail,
it must be backed out before
adjusting the limit stop.

Capri Sheer Shadings Installation,
Operation, and Care Instructions
OPERATION
Problem The shading is hard to raise or lower, or will not raise or lower.
Solution Shadings cannot be forced into tight inside mount window openings.
If an inside mount, check that the shading is installed correctly. Make
sure there is clearance between the ends of the shading and the
window casement.
Check that the installation brackets are level. Shim to level, if necessary.
Check that the shading fabric is not catching on any brackets or
window components.
Problem The shading raises or lowers unevenly, the fabric rubs against one end
of the headrail, or the bottom rail is uneven when fully raised.
Solution Check that the window is square by measuring the diagonals.
Check that the installation brackets are level. Shim to level, if necessary.
Adjust the bottom rail weight. See below.
Adjusting the Bottom Rail Weight
Release the weight clips by
inserting a flat blade screwdriver
into the weight clip and turning
clockwise.
Move the weight in 1" increments toward the side where the
fabric is gathering.
Secure the weight clips in position by turning them counterclockwise
after making the adjustment.
Test and, if necessary, adjust again.

Problem Vanes do not align on side-by-side shadings.
Solution Vane alignment is only guaranteed within 1/4" when shadings are ordered
at the same time, at the same height, with the same color and fabric,
and when specified on the order form.
Check that the windows are square and the same height.

CARE
Removing the Shading
Move each lever of the installation brackets to the
left to release the shading.
A flat blade screwdriver can be used to move the lever.
Be very careful not to tear or damage
the fabric.
CAUTION:
If the lever is inaccessible or inoperable, lower the shading
until you can see the underside of
the bracket. Carefully reach a small
flat blade screwdriver behind the
shading to the tab on bottom of the
bracket between the screw holes.
Push the tab away from the
shading and pull the headrail
to release it from the bracket.
Carefully pull the shading to remove
it from the brackets.
Cleaning Procedures
Capri Sheer Shadings are made of 100% polyester, which means they are inherently
durable and resilient. However, care must be taken to avoid wrinkling the fabric,
particularly where the vanes meet the facings.
Dusting
Regular light dusting with a feather duster is all the cleaning needed in
most circumstances.
Vacuuming
Use a low suction, hand-held vacuum for more thorough dust removal.
Forced Air
Blow away dirt and debris between the vanes using clean compressed air.
Spot-Cleaning
Do not spot-clean Capri Sheer Shadings.

CARE
Ultrasonic Cleaning
Capri Sheer Shadings can be ultrasonically cleaned by a professional with the
exception of light-dimming fabrics.
Specify that a mild detergent solution be used.
Never immerse the headrail in the solution.
Dry the shading completely in the lowered position.
Injection/Extraction
Capri Sheer Shadings can be professionally cleaned using the injection/extraction
method.
A dry method of injection/extraction is required for light-dimming fabrics.
Never immerse the headrail in the solution.
Electrostatic Cleaning
Do not use electrostatic cleaning wipes on any shadings.
A Note About Fabrics
As with all textiles, Window Shading fabrics are subject to some variations.
Slight wrinkling, puckering, or bowing is inherent to this textile product and
should be considered normal, acceptable quality. These characteristics are not
usually visible from the front or rear but may be visible from a side angle.
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.
