How to Install Cordless Blackout Top Down Bottom Up Single Cellular Shades

1. 1

   Open the package and check that the mounting hardware kit is complete.

2. 2

   Gather your tools: screwdriver, tape measure, pencil, drill, drill bits and a step ladder.

3. 3

   If you are mounting into drywall or plaster, get #6 plastic anchors (not included).

• 18" to 36" wide: 2 mounting brackets
• 36" to 48" wide: 3 mounting brackets
• 48" to 72" wide: 4 mounting brackets
• 72" to 96" wide: 5 mounting brackets
• The package includes one extra screw of each type.
• When drilling for screws, use a 3/32" drill bit; use a 1/4" drill bit for wall anchors.

The shade can be mounted inside the window frame or outside it for maximum coverage.

1. 1

   Place a mounting bracket about 1" to 6" from each end of the headrail.

2. 2

   If your shade needs 3 or more brackets, space the extra ones as evenly as possible between the two outer brackets.

3. 3

   Keep the brackets clear of the cords and any moving parts inside the headrail.

1. 1

   Clip the brackets into the headrail, positioned 2" to 6" in from each side, with any extra brackets spaced evenly.

2. 2

   Hold the shade in place where you want it inside the window frame.

3. 3

   With a pencil, mark the inside of the frame at the rear of each bracket.

4. 4

   Remove the brackets from the headrail and line them up with your marks.

5. 5

   Pre-drill the holes with a 5/64" drill bit.

6. 6

   Screw the brackets in place with the 1 1/8" screws.

1. 1

   Clip the brackets into the headrail as for an inside mount.

2. 2

   Hold the shade level at the height you want and center it over the window.

3. 3

   With a pencil, mark the location of each bracket.

4. 4

   Remove the brackets from the headrail and position the top of each bracket at your marks.

5. 5

   Pre-drill the holes with a 5/64" drill bit.

6. 6

   Screw the brackets into the wall or window molding with the 1 1/8" screws.

1. 1

   Lift the headrail so the front edge of each bracket sits directly under the inner front edge of the headrail.

2. 2

   Push the headrail up until the flexible tab at the bottom of each bracket snaps into place at the back of the headrail.

3. 3

   Give the headrail a gentle pull to make sure it is secure.

This step applies to cordless shades only.

1. 1

   Hook the handle's clip onto the edge of the bottom rail and rotate it up until it snaps into place.

2. 2

   On a top down/bottom up shade, attach the second handle to the middle rail the same way.

• The handle is designed to minimize contact with the shade fabric.

1. 1

   To lower the shade, pull straight down on the bottom rail handle.

2. 2

   To raise the shade, place one hand under the bottom rail and slowly lift it to the height you want.

3. 3

   On a top down/bottom up shade, lower or raise the top of the shade by holding the middle rail handle and slowly pulling straight down or up.

Hold-down brackets keep the shade in a permanently lowered position.

1. 1

   Lower the shade and mark the outside ends of the bottom rail with a pencil.

2. 2

   Line the hold-down brackets up with the marks and screw them in place with the 1/2" screws.

3. 3

   Insert the pins on the brackets into the holes at both ends of the bottom rail.
