INSTALLATION

& OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS

TOP-DOWN/BOTTOM-UP

AND DAY-NIGHT SHADES

ASICS

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.

Our Top-Down/Bottom-Up and Day-Night shades are con-

structed to be hung as either an Inside Mount or an

Outside Mount. The Installation Bracket can be mounted

inside the window opening, for an inside mount, or on the

molding or wall above the window for an outside mount.

The Extension Bracket and the Hold Down Bracket are

optional items requested at the time of ordering the shade.

The Extension Bracket provides projection of the

Installation Bracket in order to clear obstructions. The Hold

Down Bracket keeps the shade from swaying and is often

used for installation on door windows.

NSTALLATION

Shades are shipped with the required number

of brackets for proper installation. End brackets should

be located with centerlines 2 1/2" in from each end.

Depending on the width of the shade, additional brack-

ets may be necessary evenly spaced between the two

end brackets.

Use this number

For shade widths of:

of brackets:

Up to 40"

40" to 72"

72" to 84"

84" and up

Using the Installation Bracket as a template, measure and

mark the center lines. When mounting brackets, make

sure they are in line and level.

The brackets are mounted flat against the top sill sur-

face. Place the bugle head screw through the hole

closest to the front of the bracket. To fully recess the

shade requires a flat surface with a minimum depth of

1 3/4". Shallow mounting requires 1/2" minimum.

1st Installation

Cord Lock

2 1/2"

On shades 84" to 96" wide it is recommended to
use a second bracket located next to the end
bracket at the Cord Lock.

The shade fabric is easy to care for. Regular dusting

with a feather duster or vacuum cleaner brush is rec-

ommended. Most stains can be blotted with a damp

sponge and mild detergent. For problem stains, the

shade can be removed from the installation brack-

ets and soaked in warm water. When damp, raise

shade tightly to re-crisp pleats. Before using any-

thing stronger than mild detergent and lukewarm

water, test an unobtrusive corner of the shade. If

you have any questions, call your dealer for advice.

LEANING AND

ARE

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.

Cord cleats are 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 wrap the excess

cord around the cleat. It’s fast, easy

and safe.

To protect your children, we are pleased to

provide cord cleats free of charge with every

shade that we manufacture.
