STEP 1: Install Brackets
Right- hand and left- hand mounting brackets are packed with each blind. The brackets are stamped
R. H. or L. H. on the inside of each bracket for easy identification. These brackets are used for all types of
mounting- outside, inside, and ceiling mounts. Bracket doors must face inside of room.

(NOTE : Two screws are supplied for each bracket. These are screws with Phillips heads, suitable for wood or sheet metal mounting surfaces. For PLASTER, DRYWALL, STONE, BRICK or TILE installations, we recommend using plugs or anchors.)

INSIDE MOUNT: With mounting brackets level and flush with window frame, screw through holes on inside of bracket into window frame.

OUTSIDE MOUNT/CEILING MOUNT: With blind open, hold it up to wall/ ceiling in the position you want it to hang. Make sure the blind is centered and level. Mark the wall 1/ 4" past the end of the headrail. Remove blind and place mounting brackets level on pencil marks. Secure with screws.


STEP 2: Attach Valance Clips
Attach valance clips to front of headrail. Push down to snap in place. Make sure to install one clip on each end, and space others evenly, no more than 48" apart. Do not install valance at this time.

STEP 3: Insert Headrail
Release bracket door latches by pressing up on the bottom of the bracket while lifting bracket door to the open position. Slide headrail into mounting brackets. Close bracket door latches.
(End Stiffeners - These are located at the ends of the headrail to keep the headrail rigid and provide end adjustments. If headrail moves left or right more than 1/ 8", adjust tabs outward on end stiffeners.)

STEP 4: Install Valance
Swing valance returns to fully open position. Bend plastic valance hinge tab towards return and place leading edge of tab under lip of hinge on the return. Align valance clips with the Kwik-Klip channel on the back of wood valance. Press on face of valance to lock in place.

That's it! Here are some tips to operate your new wood blind/s
To Tilt Slats - Pull the tilt cord or 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.

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.
