Important Safety Information: Please read all instructions, warning tags and labels provided with your new product. Proper Installation and operation are essential to avoid injury. Keep these instructions for future reference.
Step 1 - Determine mounting type: Inside, ceiling or outside.
There are three options for hanging:
1.) Inside mount will allow the blind to fit inside the window frame and will be installed using the bracket's top screw holes into the underside of the window frame.
2.) Ceiling mount will allow the blind to hang in front of the window frame from the ceiling and will use the bracket's top screw holes.
3.) Outside mount is typically chosen when there is not a traditional window frame. The blind will be installed into the wall above the window casing, using the brackets back screw holes.
Measure the width of your desired hanging option, this blind will fit windows 3/8" (0.95cm) smaller and 1/2" (1.27cm) wider than its stated size. This actual blind is 1/2" (1.27cm) narrower/smaller than the stated size.
Step 2 - Place blind in desired location and mark corners of blind
1.) For inside mount, mark the underside of the window frame.
2.) For ceiling mount, use a tape measure to measure the thickness of the window frame and mark an equal distance from the wall as well as the corners of the blind of the ceiling.
3.) For outside mount, use a level to help ensure that the blind is completely level and mark the corners of the blind. You can also use a tape measure to make sure the blind is perfectly centered above your window.
Step 3 - Mark wall area where not to hang brackets
Tilt blind forward to see top of head rail and mark wall, window frame or ceiling with the location of the blind's internal components. Place an X in this area. For proper operation of the blind, the brackets must be outside this area. Please note, the brackets will not fit securely into place if they are installed in the same area as the components of the blind.
Step 4 - Mark the screw locations
Using the brackets in the below pictured position, mark screw locations within the acceptable area of your previous markings and/or measurements.
Step 5 - Drill holes at your pencil marks.
Step 6 - Screw brackets into place
Step 7 - Mount blind into brackets
With the blind fully retracted and the top of the blind's headrail angled towards the window, align the front of the headrail to the top and front portion of the bracket, labeled "A" below. Then, rotate the headrail and blind towards the window until you hear a click, labeled "B" below.
