With these instructions you will find sufficient brackets and wood screws for fitting your blind.

Top Fixing Brackets

Fix brackets to ceiling or lintel with holes drilled on a line at least 75mm (3") from the wall or window frame for blinds with 127mm (5") louvres or 55mm (2 1/8") for blinds with 89mm (3 1/2") louvres. End brackets should be about 40mm (1 1/2") from the ends of the track. Any remaining brackets should be spaced evenly between these two brackets.



Face Fixing Brackets

Fix brackets to wall or window frame as closely as possible to the ceiling or lintel with same spacing as recommended for top fixing brackets.



If your blind has a pelmet please refer to the pelmet fitting instructions before proceeding.

Fitting the Track

Track must be fitted into the brackets keeping controls to side ordered. Locate the small lip projecting from brackets into groove in track. Push track up into brackets. Spring clip brackets will hold your track without further adjustment. If your brackets have retaining screws, these should now be screwed into the other slot in the track. Please do not over tighten the screws. This is unnecessary and will damage the track.

Remove packing material from track, releasing the cord and chain. (Cord control traverses louvres and chain control rotates them.)

Fitting the Louvres

Turn hooks so that the slots are 90° to the track. Hang the louvres, keeping all seams one way. Your blind is now ready to operate.

Important
Do not traverse blinds with louvres in closed position. Always turn them 90° to the track before operating cord control.


Fitting the Pelmet

N.B. Pelmet brackets must be fitted before the track is fixed into position.

One pelmet bracket should be fixed at each end of the track. Any remaining pelmet brackets should be spaced evenly between these brackets.

The 'U' shaped end and loose plate locate in grooves in the track. Tighten the bracket screws. Fit track as previously described and hang the louvres.

Fix the bar to the pelmet bracket as illustrated. Position the pelmet on the bar ensuring that it is central, straight and wrinkle free.



Cleaning Instructions

Your louvres may have been made with a special washable fabric. If this is so follow the cleaning instructions carefully that have been supplied with the louvres. However, if in doubt please proceed as follows:-
  1. Remove the louvres and wipe with a clean cloth that has been dampened with a solution of mild detergent.
  2. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
  3. Place louvres between clean, dry cloths and iron lengthwise using an iron set to 'cool'.
  4. Re-hang the louvres while still damp.
Important: To minimise shrinkage during the cleaning process, fabrics must not be allowed to become more than slightly damp.
