STEP 1: Install Brackets
Two hinged-cover brackets are provided for each blind, a left and a right hand.

The safety locking covers will secure the blind firmly in place. Open the bracket cover by pressing the bottom, and pull the hinged safety locking cover open . Each bracket is designed to be mounted with two screws.

INSIDE MOUNT
Mount the brackets in the corner of the jambs of the window frame. The screws should be diagonally located.

OUTSIDE MOUNT
Hold the blind level at the desired height and mark the window frame (or wall) lightly on each end at the bottom of the headrail. Now center the blind (using the marks as a guide) and also mark the exact position of the headrail. The installation brackets should be located ¼" beyond the end of the headrail marks. This will allow the headrail to easily slide into the brackets. The screws should be diagonally located.

STEP 2: Insert Headrail
Slide headrail into mounting brackets. Close bracket door latches.

STEP 3: Install Valance
Screw the valance hooks to the back of the valance, as shown on picture A below.

TIP: Flush the valance hooks to  the top edge, as shown on picture C below.

Hook the valance onto the headrail, as shown on picture B below.

That's it! Here are some tips to operate your new wood blind/s

To Tilt Slats - Rotate wand to desired slat angle. IMPORTANT : Keep slats tilted open while raising and lowering blind.

To Raise Blind -Pull cord downward until blind reaches desired height. Release cord and blind locks
automatically.

To Lower Blind - Gently pull cord toward center of blind until lock releases. Let cord slip slowly through your fingers until blind reaches desired height. Move cord toward outside of blind and release. Blind will lock automatically.

Aligning Blind - After installing the blind, tilt it open, then raise and lower it several times. This will allow the cords and slats to align themselves.

Adjusting Blind - After installing, check the height of the blinds to see if this should be adjusted. Carefully observe how the bottomrail is clasped into position by the plastic plug. Remove the plug from the frame and undo the knot in the pulling cord. Remove appropriate number of segments. Re-assemble the  bottomrail and insert the plug into position.

Removing Blind - Remove valance then raise blind to top and lock. Open both bracket door latches and pull the blind out.

Dusting- Like any piece of furniture, dust your blinds regularly. Use an ordinary soft, clean cloth, chemically- treated dust cloth, dusting mitt, vacuum cleaner with brush attachment or cylindrical dust brushes especially
designed for blinds. The paint surface of the slats is smooth and dust is easily brushed off, when dusted during regular cleaning. Lower the blind to its full length, then tilt the slats almost fully closed and dust. Then do the
reverse side of the slats in the same manner. In order to reach the dust where the slats overlap, it is best not to fully close the blind in either position.

Miscellaneous

Metal Surfaces -use suitable sheet metal screws and predrill holes. It is also a good idea to predrill holes when screwing into wood casings.


Concrete, Stone, Brick, and Tile
- use a carbide drill and appropriate plugs, anchors or screws.

Wallboard and Plaster
- predrill holes of suitable size for the anchor or plug used. Follow fastener manufacturers recommendations.
