BASICS
A few simple tools are required:
- Measuring tape
- Power drill, drill bits
- Hex head and/or Phillips driver bit
- Pencil
Additional fasteners other than those sent with your shade may be required depending on the mounting surface. Wallboard and plaster require the use of anchors such as expansion or toggle bolts. Brick, tile or stone need special plugs and drill bits. Remember to always pre-drill holes in wood to avoid splitting.
 MOUNT THE SHADE
The minimum required depth for installation is 1-1/2”. The minimum depth required for Flush mount installation is 2”.

SHADE INSTALLATION
Standard and Continuous Cord Loop
Unwind the cord from the shade. Bring the top rail up near the installation brackets. Center the shade in the window opening and attach the headrail to the installation brackets.
Standard Brackets
Insert the front clip of the installation bracket into the front groove of the rail.
 Push the rail back and up until the back clips of the bracket are inserted in the back groove of the rail.
Continuous Cord Loop Brackets
Position the headrail with the front lip  (A) resting on the top hooks of all brackets
Make sure no fabric is pinched between the bracket and headrail.
Push the bottom of the headrail firmly upwards and toward the window until the groove at the bottom of the headrail snaps into place (B) as show.

5. EZEQ - Equalization
Cellular shades use a system that allows easy leveling of the bottom rail.
|
|
|
Stand in the center of the shade and
grasp the bottom rail with both hands.
Give the bottom rail a slight tug. This
will fully engage the cord-lock.
|
Position the rail as desired, by pulling
down on the side that is too high. |
PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN
Be aware that it is possible for children to strangle in window covering cords. To reduce the occurrence
of accident, all cords must be kept out of the reach of children, including infants. Velcro dots are supplied with each shade. Fix one side of the dot to the cord equalizer and the other side of the dot to the window sill. Cord cleats are also an effective way to implement this essential precaution. Mount the cord cleat at a safe height, taking into account furniture or other objects upon which a child may climb. Then, after each use of the shade, simply secure the cord safely
using the velcro attachment. It's fast, easy and safe.
