3. Setup & Installation
Installation of your Cordless Roller Shade is designed to be straightforward. The shade can be mounted either inside the window frame (inside mount) or outside the window frame (outside mount). All necessary hardware is included. If any hardware or instructions are missing, please contact customer support.
3.1 Before You Begin
- Measurement Note: The pre-cut width of the shade includes a half-inch deduction (industry standard). The fabric itself is also shorter by an inch on both sides to accommodate the cordless mechanism.
- Ensure you have the correct tools: drill, screwdriver, measuring tape, pencil.
- Unpack all components and verify against the packing list.
3.2 Mounting the Brackets
The brackets can be installed on the ceiling or on the wall, depending on your preferred mounting style (inside or outside mount).
- Marking: Hold the shade in the desired installation position to determine where the brackets should be placed. Mark the screw holes with a pencil. Ensure the marks are level.
- Drilling: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. Use appropriate drill bits for your wall or ceiling material.
- Securing Brackets: Attach the mounting brackets using the provided screws. Ensure they are firmly secured.

- Clip On: Align the head rail of the roller shade with the installed brackets.
- Secure: Gently push the head rail upwards until it clips securely into place within the brackets. You should hear a click, indicating it is locked.

4. Operating Instructions
Your YELLOW BLINDS Cordless Roller Shade features a "free-stop" mechanism for smooth and precise control. There are no cords to pull, making operation simple and safe.

5. Care and Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your roller shades. Follow these guidelines for maintenance:
- Dusting: Regularly dust the shade fabric with a soft cloth or a feather duster to prevent dust buildup.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor spots, gently blot the affected area with a damp cloth using mild soap and water. Avoid rubbing vigorously, which can damage the fabric. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can discolor or damage the fabric and mechanism.
- Mechanism Care: The cordless mechanism is designed to be maintenance-free. Do not lubricate or attempt to disassemble it.
