How to Install Deluxe Cordless Light Filtering Pleated Shades

1. 1

   Check that your hardware mounting kit has all the parts listed for your shade size.

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 7/8" wide: 2 mounting brackets
• 36" to 47 7/8" wide: 3 mounting brackets
• 48" to 72" wide: 4 mounting brackets
• Up to 59 7/8" wide: 1 handle
• 60" to 72" wide: 2 handles
• One extra screw of each size is included.
• Use a 3/32" drill bit for screws and a 1/4" drill bit for wall anchors.

The shade can be installed inside the window frame or above the window on the wall.

1. 1

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

2. 2

   Space any additional brackets as evenly as possible between the two outer brackets, clear of the cords and moving parts inside the headrail.

3. 3

   Slide the inner front edge of the headrail into the slot at the front of each bracket.

4. 4

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

5. 5

   Pull gently on the headrail to make sure it is secure.

1. 1

   With the brackets clipped on, hold the shade at the top of the window frame, flush against the surface.

2. 2

   With a pencil, mark where the brackets touch the inside of the window frame.

3. 3

   Remove the brackets from the headrail.

4. 4

   Pre-drill holes at the marks with a 3/32" drill bit.

5. 5

   Screw the brackets in place with the included screws.

6. 6

   Reattach the headrail to the brackets.

1. 1

   With the brackets clipped on, hold the shade at the height you want and center it over the window opening.

2. 2

   With a pencil, mark where the brackets touch the wall.

3. 3

   Remove the brackets from the headrail and position them directly on the marks.

4. 4

   Pre-drill holes with a 3/32" drill bit.

5. 5

   Screw the brackets in place with the included screws.

6. 6

   Reattach the headrail to the brackets.

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

   With a single handle, center it on the bottom rail.

3. 3

   With two handles, divide the shade's total width by four and attach each handle that distance in from the outside edges.

1. 1

   Make sure the handles are attached securely before operating the shade.

2. 2

   To lower the shade, grip the bottom rail and gently pull straight down to the height you want.

3. 3

   To raise the shade, grip the bottom rail and slowly push it up to the height you want.

4. 4

   Lift slowly and evenly so one side does not get higher than the other; on extra wide shades, always use both handles.

Hold-down brackets keep the shade in place when windows and doors move. Install them only if the shade will stay permanently lowered.

1. 1

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

2. 2

   Line the brackets up with the marks and screw them in place with the 3/8" screws.

3. 3

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