Double Honeycomb Cellular Window Fashions represent a design breakthrough in style, efficiency and function. The Double Honeycomb Cellular structure and unique hardware system are designed to provide years of reliable service when properly installed. Please take a few minutes to read through these instructions before beginning.

Installation Instructions

BASICS
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.

Bugle Head or Dry Wall Screw only for Shallow Mount back holes

Hex Head Screw for any other hole

Hold Down Bracket

Extension Bracket

Double Honeycomb Cellular shades are constructed 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.

BRACKET INSTALLATION
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 brackets may be necessary evenly spaced between the two end brackets.

Using the Installation Bracket as a template, measure and mark the center lines. When mounting brackets, make sure they are in line and level.

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

INSIDE MOUNT
The brackets are mounted flat against the top sill surface. To fully recess the shade requires a flat surface with a minimum depth of 1 3/4". Shallow mounting requires 1/2" minimum.

OUTSIDE MOUNT
The brackets are mounted with the back end of the bracket flat against the window molding or the wall above the window. The bracket requires a minimum surface 3/4" high.

EXTENSION BRACKETS (Optional)
Optional Extension Brackets are used to project the back of the shade up to 2 3/8" from the mounting surface. Attach the Installation Bracket to the Extension Bracket with the nut and bolt provided.

HANGING THE SHADE
Unwind the cord from the shade but keep the rubber band around the stack.
1. Hold the shade up near the brackets and insert the front clip of the bracket into the front groove of the rail.
2. Make sure the shade is centered in the window opening.
3. Push the rail back and up until the back clips of the bracket are inserted in the back groove of the rail.
To remove shade, reverse procedure.

On a standardDuo-Fold shade, the Right Hand operates the Middle Rail, while the Left Hand operates the Bottom Rail.

Cord Lock Operation

To raise or Lock either the Middle Rail or Bottom Rail of the shade, pull the cord down and inward to the center of the shade.

NOTE: Whenraising the Middle Rail all the way to the Head Rail, you should raise the Bottom Rail a couple of inches. This will prevent pinching the Equalizer between the rails.

To lower or release either the Middle Rail or Bottom Rail of the shade, pull the cord directly downward in the vertical position.

CLEANING AND CARE
The Shade fabric is easy to care for. Regular dusting with a feather duster or vacuum cleaner brush is recommended. Most stains can be blotted with a damp sponge and mild detergent. For problem stains, the shade can be removed from the Installation brackets and soaked in warm water. When damp, raise shade tightly to re-crisp pleats. Before using anything stronger than mild detergent and lukewarm water, test an unobtrusive corner of the shade. If you have any questions, call your dealer for advice.
