INSTALLATION

OPERATION

Attach the Valance with Magnetic Valance Clips

Align the valance to the headrail.

Hold the valance securely from the front side with both hands. 

Position the clips to the top-front lip of the headrail until it is level and in position. 

Press the valance gently forward, just enough so the clips adhere to the headrail.

Adjust the valance projection: 

Inside Mount:

 

Press the valance forward until the face is flush with the opening or the clips are 

attached to the headrail. 

Outside Mount:

 

Press the valance forward until the clips are attached to the headrail. To 

minimize the gap between the valance return and the wall, follow the clip projection adjustment instructions on page 6. 

 The magnetic valance clips allow for limited valance height adjustments by carefully sliding the clip up or down while the 
magnets are adhered to the headrail. The clip’s tabs rest on the top-front lip of the headrail, keeping the valance level and 
preventing the valance from adjusting lower beyond that point. 

To remove the valance, gently pull the valance up and toward you. 

CAUTION:  

The entire surface area of the magnet inside each clip needs to maintain clean contact with the front surface area 

of the headrail at all times. 

Attach the Hold-Down Brackets (Optional)

The bottom rail will come with pre-drilled 

3

32

" holes and hold-down pins that have been inserted in the center of the bottom 

rail ends. 

To mount the hold-down brackets, first fully lower the blind. Align the hold-down brackets with the hold-down pins in the 
bottom rail.

Align the first slow with the 2

1

2

" slat size.

Align the second slot with the 2" slat size. 

Maintain the correct slot alignment as you attach the hold-down brackets to the jamb, sill, or outside mounting surface. 

Slide the hold-down pins into the appropriate slot of hole on the hold-down brackets.

If necessary with 2" outside mount blinds, the first slot of the hold-down brackets may be used in place of a spacer block.

Operate the Blind

Raising and Lowering the Blind

IMPORTANT:  

Whenever raising or lowering the blind, the slats must be in the open position. 

Pull the single cord down and toward the center to raise or lower. 

Hold the single cord to the outside to lock the blind in position.
