Troubleshooting
My Blind Doesn’t Lift:
Check to make sure cord is not
caught in headrail. If hold down
clips were used, make sure they
have been released.
My Blind Will Raise And Lower
But Will Not Tilt:
Check inside the headrail for
obstructions. Make sure all of
the slats are laying properly
on the ladders.
My Blinds Raise Unevenly:
Raise blind to the “up” position,
open the tassel, untie the knots on
the cords, even out the cords, then
re-tie the knots and re-assemble
the tassel.
My Slats Are Hanging
Out Of Alignment:
Lower the blind completely. While
firmly holding the bottom rail,
gently tug on the lift cords until
the slats are even.
One Side Of The Blind
Does Not Raise:
Make sure the lift cords are still
fastened to the bottom rail. If
they are not, please call Customer
Service for assistance.
or
Look inside the headrail to make
sure that cords are not caught on
or under something.
Care and Cleaning
• Clean soiled mini-blind surfaces with a mild soap solution. Do not
steam, hot water, bleach or any abrasive or solvent-based cleaners. Do
not machine wash.
• To ensure proper drying, provide adequate ventilation for blinds,
remove bottom rail plastic end caps, and tip headrail and bottom rail
to drain water.
Safety
All Smith+Noble blinds are made with tassel systems designed to protect
small children and pets if they become tangled in the cords. When the
blind is raised, excess cords may hang within the reach of children or
pets. In these situations, use a cord cleat as shown at right to prevent
possible injury. To obtain a cord cleat call Smith+Noble Customer Service
at 800.780.8889.
