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.

2" Extension Bracket

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
your order (one for each
installation bracket and two
for each support bracket).

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.

Wood Blinds Only
• With each installation bracket, first fold the shim and then position it on
top of the bracket to gain the required clearance.
• With each support bracket, stack two unfolded shims.
Complete the Installation
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.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
Check inside the headrail. Make sure
no obstructions keep the mechanism
from turning.
Check that lift cords are not pinched
or tangled.
The blind will not fit into the
mounting brackets.
Make sure the mounting brackets
are level and the mounting surface
is flat.

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.
