STEP 1

Outside Recess

If the blind is to be fitted outside the window, ensure that measurement C is the same. C is simply equal to A minus B, divided by two. Follow instructions for FACE FIXING.

Inside Recess

If TOP FIXING, fix to the lintel if the window is uPVC or if there are no obstructions. If FACE FIXING, fit bracket to window frame.

For each bracket, starting from one end of the blind:

  1. Press the headrail firmly towards the bracket.
  2. Tilt the headrail down at the back, to clear the rear catches.
  3. Keeping the headrail tilted, pull headrail towards you to clear the front catches.
  4. Repeat for the next bracket, ensuring that the headrail is adequately supported at the free end.

Safety Cleat Fitting Instructions

STEP 1

  • Place safety cleat in the desired location on the wall and mark the position of the two holes using a pencil.
  • We recommend position the cleat to either side of the blind and out of the reach of children.

WARNING

Young children can strangle in the loop of pull cords, chains, tapes that operate window coverings. They can also wrap the cords around their necks. To avoid the risk of strangulation and entanglement, keep cords out of the reach of young children. Move beds, cots and furniture away from window covering cords.
