35 RODCT INORMATION MANA Troubleshooting Problem Solution The shade is hard to raise or lower, or will not raise or lower. Check that the headrail and installation brackets are level and aligned in the window. Level the headrail by shimming the installation brackets, if necessary. Make sure the fabric is not caught in the installation brackets. EasyRise shades: Check that the cord tensioner is mounted correctly. EasyRise shades: Check that cord loop is not pinched or tangled. UltraGlide shades: As you pull the cord, check that the cord is clearing the fabric folds. LiteRise shades: Pull down on the handle to engage the shade for operation. Problem Solution The fabric folds gather unevenly or seem to wrinkle. Slowly lower the shade and raise the shade again. NOTE: This is inherent on narrow shades when fully stacked. Problem Solution The shade will not snap into the installation brackets. Check that the installation brackets are aligned and level. Level the headrail by shimming the installation brackets, if necessary. Check that the headrail is properly aligned in the installation brackets. See Install the Shade on page 30. Check that the fabric is not caught in the brackets. Problem Solution The front fabric appears to cling to the back fabric. Lightly apply a static spray for home furnishings. Follow the manufacturer s directions. If necessary, reapply the static spray each time the shade is professionally cleaned. Allow the shade to dry in the fully lowered position.

Push Up Insert the screwdriver Warning between the arrows on the bottom tabs. Push up to release the shade. IMPORTANT: On longer shades, you might need to lower the shade slightly to access the locking tab. Locking Tab Arrows Cleaning Procedures Modern Roman Shades are made of an anti-static, dust-resistant fabric which repels dirt and dust. For most fabrics, the options below are available if your shade needs cleaning. Dusting Regular light dusting with a feather duster is all the cleaning needed in most circumstances. Vacuuming Use a hand-held vacuum with low suction for more thorough dust removal. Compressed Air / Hair Dryer (Cool Setting) Blow dirt and debris from within the fabric folds using clean, compressed air. Spot-Cleaning Prepare a solution of warm water and mild detergent. Dampen a clean cloth in the solution and wring it out. Place a dry, clean cloth behind the spot between the face fabric and the back fabric. Dab the spot with the dampened cloth until it is removed. Non-oil-based baby wipes may be used on more stubborn stains. Do not rub the fabric. Allow the shade to dry in the completely lowered position. REPLACES ISSUE DATE: APPROVED BY: D.ALTIPARMAKOVA PAGE 38 OF 39

39 Ultrasonic Cleaning LUXAFLEX Modern Roman Shades can be ultrasonically cleaned by a professional. CAUTION: Do not ultrasonically clean the headrail, midrail, bottom rail fabric; or any room-darkening shades. Specify that a mild detergent solution be used. Never immerse the fabric-covered headrail or bottom rail into the solution. Allow the shade to dry in the completely lowered position. Injection/Extraction Cleaning Luxaflex Modern Roman Shades can be cleaned by a professional using the injection/extraction method of deep cleaning. CAUTION: Do not use the injection/extraction method of deep cleaning on the fabric on the headrail or bottom rail. Specify the dry cleaning method only. Pretreat heavy stains. Steaming CAUTION: Do not steam the fabric on the headrail midrail, or bottom rail. Steam the face fabric from the bottom to the top, making sure to get steam under each fabric fold. Be careful not to saturate the fabric with steam. Allow the shade to dry completely before raising it. A Note on Textiles As with all textiles, Modern Roman Shade fabrics are subject to some inherent variations in the fabric weave. Subtle dye-lot variations, puckering, or wrinkling fall within textile industry standards and should be considered as normal, acceptable quality. Additionally, there will be slight differences in pattern alignment from the fabric on the rails to the fabric of the shade, which do not detract from the product s appeal. Variations in color and or pattern are unique characteristics that contribute to the classic beauty of the shade. REPLACES ISSUE DATE: APPROVED BY: D.ALTIPARMAKOVA PAGE 39 OF 39

Be careful not to saturate the fabric with steam. Allow the shade to dry completely before raising it. A Note on Textiles As with all textiles, the fabrics are subject to some inherent variations in the fabric weave. Subtle dye-lot variations, puckering, or wrinkling fall within textile industry standards and should be considered as normal, acceptable quality. Additionally, there will be slight differences in pattern alignment from the fabric on the rails to the fabric of the shade, which do not detract from the product s appeal. Variations in color and or pattern are unique characteristics that contribute to the classic beauty of the shade. REPLACES ISSUE DATE: APPROVED BY: D.ALTIPARMAKOVA PAGE 60 OF 85

77 Secure the Cords with the Cord Anchors Remove the colored tape securing the cords. IMPORTANT: The cords must hang freely with no twists. If the cords are twisted, straighten them out before proceeding. Cord Anchor Side Stack Adjust the position of the moving rail as needed when installing the cord anchors. Attach the end caps on outside mount shades. (End caps on inside mount shades should already have been installed.) Loosen the screw on each end cap until it is flush with the top. Push the end caps into place on the headrail. Hold the cords below the end cap on the moving rail side when installing it. Be careful not to pinch or twist the cords. If necessary, tap the end caps in place with a rubber mallet. Tighten the screw on both end caps. Locate the single cord anchor connected to the three cords coming from the top of the stationary rail. To secure the cord anchor, first locate the two marks on the front channel of the headrail directly in front of the stationary rail. Hook the cord anchor between the two marks on the front channel. Use the provided Allen wrench to tighten the cord anchor just until snug to secure it to the channel. Cord Anchor in Front Channel Bottom View Front Channel Cord Anchor Marks Tighten with Allen Wrench Secure the three cord anchors attached to the individual cords routed through the moving rail end cap. Be sure that the cords are not twisted before beginning. Start with the cord anchor that has the shortest cord. Hook the anchor between the first set of marks in the front channel of the headrail and secure it using the Allen wrench. Install the cord anchor with the next shortest cord in a similar manner between the second set of marks. Finally, install the cord anchor with the longest cord between the third set of marks. IMPORTANT: Make sure that the cords do not twist together. Bottom View Front Channel REPLACES ISSUE DATE: APPROVED BY: D.ALTIPARMAKOVA PAGE 77 OF 85

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the cords do not twist together. Bottom View Remove the Covering from the Headrail Gently peel the clear covering from the fabric-covered headrail. Inspect the Folds Front Channel If the first fabric fold does not hang as well as others, see Troubleshooting on page 22. Perform the Final Cord Adjustment Open and close the fabric panel(s) several times. To make final cord adjustments, loosen and re-tighten the moving rail cord anchors one at a time. Gently pull the cords until you feel a slight resistance. Do not over-tension. Again, open and close the fabric panel(s) several times. The rails should slide easily, yet hold their position anywhere along the headrail. Re-adjust the cords as needed. Increase tension in the cords if the rails do not hold their position. Reduce tension in the cords if the rails are difficult to move. REPLACES ISSUE DATE: APPROVED BY: D.ALTIPARMAKOVA PAGE 79 OF 85

80 Operate the Shade For better support and smoother operation, as well as to avoid soiling the fabric, use the handle(s) when opening and closing the shade. NOTE: With a split stack shade, each panel operates independently. To operate the shade, simply use the handle(s) to slide the vertical rail(s). Allow the shade to stack evenly. Test Operation Open and close the shade several times. If the shade does not operate smoothly or if the vertical rail(s) do not hold their position, see Perform the Final Cord Adjustment on page 19.

81 Troubleshooting Problem Solution Problem Solution Problem The shade will not fit into the installation brackets. Check that the installation brackets are level and aligned, and be sure the heads of the screws are flush against the installation bracket. Check that the headrail is completely inserted into the installation brackets. See Install the Headrail on page 68 (outside mount) or page 14 (inside mount). The shade binds or moves with difficulty. Check that the cords are not pinched or twisted. Check that all rollers are positioned in the headrail channel. Adjust the cord anchors. See Perform the Final Cord Adjustment on page 19. The cords are loose or sagging. Solution See Perform the Final Cord Adjustment on page 19. Problem The top of the stationary rail does not stay in position. Solution Install a cord anchor, found in the parts bag, in the rear channel next to the stationary rail hanger to hold it in place. Use the provided Allen wrench to tighten the cord anchor in position. On a split stack design, install a cord anchor next to each stationary rail hanger. Cord Anchor Front Problem A moving rail is not vertical. Solution Adjust the vertical alignment by turning the set screw located under the trike s center roller. Use the provided Allen wrench. If the cords have become too loose or too tight after the above adjustment, see Perform the Final Cord Adjustment on page 19.
