Mount the Brackets

Bracket Spacing

• Position the two end brackets on the mounting surface so that

they will be located between 2" and 6" from the ends of the

headrail.

• If more brackets are required (see chart below), space the

additional bracket(s) evenly between the end brackets.

Inside Mount Bracket Attachment

• Attach the installation brackets with two screws through the two

holes in the top of the brackets.

• Be sure the front edges of the brackets are aligned before

tightening the screws.

Inside Mount Applications

Use a carpenter’s level to check that the mounting surface is perfectly

level. Shim the installation brackets, if necessary.

• A minimum casement depth of 7/8" is required for bracket

attachment.

• A depth of 13/4" is required to fully recess the blind.

Important:

Do not mount brackets directly over the

top of the clear plastic spool caps or cord tilter.

Outside Mount Applications

A flat vertical surface at least 5/8" high is required for bracket

attachment.

Outside Mount Bracket Attachment

• Attach the installation brackets with two screws through the two

holes in the rear of the brackets.

• Use a carpenter’s level to check that the tops of the brackets are

aligned at the same height before tightening the screws.

Extension Brackets (Optional)

Extension brackets can be used with outside mounts to project the

installation brackets from 23/4" to 41/8" from the mounting surface.

This allows for additional clearance of obstructions such as window

cranks or handles.

• The extension brackets may be fastened together two different

ways to produce the desired wall extension, as shown below.

• Attach the extension brackets using #6 self-tapping screws.

• Mount the extension bracket assemblies to the window frame or

wall using two diagonally located screws.

• Use appropriate fasteners to bolt the mounting brackets to the

extension brackets.

can become entangled and strangle in cords. Keep

all cords out of the reach of children. Hunter Douglas

provides cord cleats and we recommend their use.

The blind does not tilt. Check that the tilt cords are not

tangled or knotted.

Check that the ladders have not

become disengaged from the

tape drums.

Care and Cleaning

• Dust with a soft clean cloth or chemically treated dust cloth. Tilt

the slats up and dust. Then tilt the slats down (but not all the way

closed) and dust the other side of the slats.

• Vacuum using the brush dust head attachment and tilt the slats

up and down as described for dusting.

• Wash slats using a damp cloth and mild detergent solution. Use

warm or cold water, not hot water. Tilt the slats up and down as

described for dusting.

• Bottom rail and slats may also be immersed in a bathtub for a

more thorough cleaning. Do

not

immerse the headrail. Place the

blind in a solution of mild, soapy water. Rinse clean and either

wipe dry or allow to air dry completely.
