Mount the Brackets

Mounting Options

The installation brackets may be inside mounted, outside mounted or ceiling

mounted. In all cases, level mounting is essential.

• With inside mounts and ceiling mounts, use a carpenter’s level to check

that the mounting surface is level. Shim the brackets, if necessary.

• With outside mounts, the tops of the brackets must be level and aligned

at the same height.

• Intermediate brackets are required for both inside and outside mounts if

the blind is over 48" wide (see chart below).

Inside Mount Applications

Attach the two end brackets ﬂush against the sides of the window casement.

• Side mount the brackets with one screw through a side hole and one

screw through a top hole, as shown below.

• Top mount the brackets with screws through the two top holes.

• If limited mounting depth is available, the bracket may be mounted with

two screws through diagonal side holes.

Outside Mount Applications

A ﬂat vertical surface at least 13/4" high is required for bracket attachment.

Mark End Bracket Locations

• Mark where ends of headrail will be located.

• Either hold headrail up to the mounting

surface or measure the headrail

and mark its length.

• Then mark

1/4" to

the outside of the

headrail end marks.

Attach End Brackets

• Align the outside edge of each

bracket with the outer marks.

• The tops of brackets must be

aligned at the same height.

• Attach the brackets with two

screws through diagonal holes.

Intermediate Brackets (If Required)

Evenly space the intermediate bracket(s)

between the end brackets.

• Adjust spacing if needed to avoid

interference with internal headrail

mechanisms.

• The top of each intermediate bracket must

align with the tops of the end brackets.

• Attach the bracket(s) with two screws

through diagonal holes.

Extension Brackets (Optional)

Attach 2" or 4" extension brackets to the mounting surface in the same

locations where the end brackets and intermediate brackets would be

attached.

• Align and level extension brackets with a carpenter's level.

• Use two screws to mount each extension bracket.

• Attach the installation brackets to the extension brackets using the screws

and nuts provided, as shown below.

Intermediate Brackets (If Required)

Evenly space the intermediate bracket(s) between the

two end brackets. A minimum depth of 11/8" is

required for bracket attachment.

• Adjust spacing if needed to avoid

interference with internal headrail

mechanisms.

• Attach with two screws through

diagonal holes.

• The backs of the end brackets

and intermediate bracket(s)

must align.

Ceiling Mount Applications

As with outside mounts, mark where to attach the two end brackets, 1/4" to

the outside of the ends of the headrail. Attach the bracket in one of three

ways, making sure their front edges are aligned.

• Attach with two screws through the bracket top holes. Or:

• If the brackets are ﬂush with side walls, attach them like inside mounts,

with one screw through a top hole and one through a side hole. Or:

Mount the Headrail

• Tilt headrail so that its back lip slides under the front lip of the end

brackets and intermediate bracket(s).

• Push headrail against the back of the end brackets.

• Check that the front lip of the intermediate bracket(s) is under the front

lip of the headrail.

• If the brackets are ﬂush with the back wall, attach them with one screw

through a top hole and one through a rear hole.

• Space intermediate bracket(s) evenly between the end brackets.

Adjust Headrail Tightness

• If the headrail is loose in the end brackets,

bend the tabs on the end plates outward.

• Note: The tabs may also be bent inward if

the headrail was difﬁcult to install into the

end brackets.

Close End Brackets

• Push the cover down

until it snaps over the

locking tab on the

bottom of the bracket.

Bracket Shims

Shims to add top clearance are required for installation brackets and

support brackets only when a valance with optional dust cover is used and

the blind is inside mounted, but the headrail is not fully recessed. (If the

headrail is fully recessed or ceiling mounted, the optional dust cover would

not be ordered.)

Cornice Clips

Wood Blinds Only

Cornice clips are used instead of valance clips when the valance has

a dust cover.

• Attach a cornice clip 2" from each end of the headrail.

• Space additional clip(s) evenly between the two end clips so that the

cornice clips are no more than 36" apart.

• To attach the cornice clips,

hook the back of the clip to

the rear lip of the headrail.

• Push the clip down until it

snaps securely in place.

3/8" Clearance

An additional 3/8" of clearance

is needed to accommodate the

height of the cornice clips, as

shown in the illustration.

To gain this clearance, use the

bracket shims included with

Valance Clips

• Attach valance clips 2" from each end of the headrail.

• Space additional clip(s) evenly between the two end clips so that

the valance clips are no more than 36" apart.

• Wood blinds only:

If desired, the

valance may be

positioned 1/4"

higher by pushing

the clips only one

notch down, as

shown in the far

right illustration.

• Note: The actual valance clips included with your order may

differ in appearance from those shown. However, attachment to the

headrail is the same for all valance clips.

Attach the Wand (If Ordered)

If the blind was ordered with a wand tilter, attach the wand to the metal

shaft. Note: Wands may appear different from the illustration, but assembly is

the same.

• Pull the plastic sleeve from the top of the wand and insert it over the

metal shaft.

• Insert the hook on the wand through the hole in the metal shaft.

• Slide the plastic sleeve down over the hook until ﬁrmly seated.

• Test the wand tilter. Approximately six revolutions of the wand should tilt

the slats from fully closed up to fully closed down.

3Attach the Valance (No Dust Cover)

Wood Blinds

• Tilt the valance to insert its

bottom notch into the bottom

part of the valance clip.

• Pulling the valance slightly

downward, insert the top

notch of the valance into

the clip, as shown.

• To remove the valance,

pull down on the valance

and pull out.

Attach the Valance Returns, If Necessary

If the valance came with returns and they are not already attached, connect

the returns to the valance using the corner clips provided.

Wood Blinds

• The notches on the rear of the valance and returns ﬁt into the grooves of

the corner clips.

• Slide the wider side of each clip onto the

rear of the valance so that the shorter side

aligns with the edge of the miter cut at

each end.

• Slide a return onto each corner

clip until its miter is ﬂush

against the miter on the

valance.

The blind will not ﬁt into the

mounting brackets.

Make sure the mounting brackets

are level and the mounting surface

is ﬂat.

Child Safety

7Troubleshooting

WARNING:

Young children

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.

Check to be sure that the tiltrod is

fully inserted into the tilt gear.

A NOTE ABOUT WOOD PRODUCTS

Our wood blinds are true wood products, made from 100% hardwood.

There will be variations in color, grain, texture, and warpage that are charac-

teristic of all woods. These variations will be especially visible in blinds with

light color stains. The variations are normal and natural, and are considered

acceptable quality.

Raising and Lowering the Blind

Important: Whenever raising or lowering the blind, the slats must be in the

open position.

• Grasp the handle or bottom rail and push up to raise the blind.

• Grasp the handle or bottom rail and pull down to lower the blind.

• Wood blinds only: An extension pole is available for operating the blind in

hard-to-reach windows.

Operate the Blind

Tilting the Slats

• Wand tilt: Rotate the

wand to tilt the slats to

the desired angle.

• Cord tilt: The two

cords with individual

tassels are for tilting the

slats. Each cord tilts

the slats in an alternate

direction.

Care and Cleaning

Like any ﬁne furnishings, Hunter Douglas wood and alternative wood blinds

should be cleaned on a routine basis to keep them looking new.

Wood Blinds and Alternative Wood Blinds

• Dust regularly. Use a soft clean cloth, chemically-treated dust cloth or

dusting mitt. Lower the blind to its full length, tilt the slats almost all the

way down and dust. Then tilt the slats almost all the way up and dust.

(Not closing the slats all the way allows dusting where the slats overlap.)

• Blinds may also be vacuumed. Use the brush attachment and tilt the slats

up and down as described for dusting.

• Another way to clean blinds is simply by wiping them with a soft,

damp cloth.

Wood Blinds Only

• Stained blinds, like wood furniture, should be treated periodically with

lemon oil or other wood preservative to protect their ﬁnish and enhance

their luster.

Alterntive Wood Blinds Only

• Wash slats using a non-abrasive mild detergent solution. Allow to air dry

to preserve the dust repellant properties of the slats.

Important: Hunter Douglas does not recommend ultrasonic cleaning of wood

or alternative wood blinds.
