4. Measuring Your Window

Accurate measurements are crucial for proper fit and function. Please follow these guidelines:

General Considerations:

• Measure the width and height of your window opening in at least three different places (top, middle, bottom).
• Use the smallest measurement for width and the largest for height to ensure a proper fit.

Inside Mount:

For blinds mounted inside the window frame:

• Blind Width: Equal to the exact window width.
• Blind Height: Equal to the exact window height (up to 72 inches).
• Ensure your window depth is at least 3 inches for proper clearance.
• Note: The fabric width will be approximately 0.8 inches narrower than the total blind width.

Outside Mount:

For blinds mounted outside the window frame:

• Blind Width: Add at least 4 inches to the window width to ensure adequate coverage and light blockage.
• Blind Height: Equal to the exact window height (up to 72 inches).

5. Installation Guide

Follow these steps to install your Persilux Cordless Zebra Blinds:

Tools Required:

• Measuring Tape
• Pencil
• Drill
• Screwdriver
• Level

Step-by-Step Installation:

1. Mark Bracket Positions: Using your measurements, mark the positions for the installation brackets. Ensure they are level and evenly spaced.
2. Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked positions. If installing into drywall, insert the provided anchors.
3. Secure Brackets: Attach the installation brackets using the provided screws. Ensure they are firmly secured.
4. Install the Shade: Align the headrail of the zebra blind with the installed brackets. Push the headrail firmly into the brackets until it clicks securely into place.
5. Test Operation: Gently raise and lower the blind to ensure smooth operation and proper installation.

6. Operating Your Zebra Blinds

Your cordless zebra blinds are designed for simple and intuitive operation:

Raising and Lowering:

• To lower the blind, gently pull down on the bottom rail or the clear handle. The blind will stop at your desired position.
• To raise the blind, gently push up on the bottom rail or the clear handle. The blind will smoothly retract and stop at your desired position.

Light Control and Privacy:

The dual-layer fabric allows for precise control over light and privacy:

• Light Filtering: Align the sheer (mesh) sections of the fabric to allow natural light to filter into the room while maintaining a degree of privacy.
• Full Privacy/Light Blockage: Align the solid fabric sections to overlap, providing maximum privacy and blocking out more light.

7. Maintenance and Cleaning

To maintain the appearance and functionality of your blinds:

• Cleaning: Use a moist cloth to gently wipe the surface of the fabric. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Dusting: Regularly dust the blinds with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your blinds, consider the following:

• Blind not raising/lowering smoothly: Check for any obstructions in the track or if the fabric is caught. Ensure the bottom rail is not bent or damaged.
• Uneven alignment of fabric panels: Gently adjust the blind up and down a few times to allow the fabric to realign.
• If problems persist, please refer to the Warranty and Support section.
