Step-by-Step Installation:
- Measure and Mark:
Determine whether you will mount the shade inside or outside the window frame. Measure and mark the desired locations for the mounting brackets. Ensure the marks are level and spaced appropriately to support the shade's width.

Using a drill, create pilot holes at the marked locations. If drilling into drywall, use appropriate wall anchors (included). For wood, pilot holes should be slightly smaller than the screw diameter.

Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your cellular shade.
- Cleaning:
The shade fabric is made of high-quality, non-woven polyester. For general cleaning, use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to gently remove dust and debris.
- Spot Cleaning:
For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Gently blot the stained area. Do not rub vigorously, as this may damage the fabric. Allow the shade to air dry completely before raising it.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals:
Do not use harsh detergents, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can discolor or damage the fabric and components.
- Regular Inspection:
Periodically inspect the shade for any signs of wear or damage to the fabric or operating mechanism. If any issues are found, contact customer support.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your cellular shade, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Shade does not stay up/down | Mechanism not properly engaged or damaged. | Ensure the shade is fully extended and then gently push it up. If it still doesn't hold, try lowering it completely and then raising it again. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism may be faulty; contact customer support. |
| Shade is crooked | Improper installation or uneven tension. | Check if the mounting brackets are level and securely installed. If the shade is slightly off, try gently adjusting the bottom rail to even it out. Re-installation may be necessary if the brackets are not level. |
| Difficulty raising/lowering | Obstruction or mechanism issue. | Check for any obstructions in the window frame or along the shade's path. Ensure you are grasping the bottom rail firmly and applying even pressure. If the movement is still stiff, the internal mechanism might require inspection by a professional. |
If you are unable to resolve the issue using these troubleshooting steps, please contact allen + roth customer support for further assistance.
