Assembly and Installation Steps

Step 1: Assemble Mounting Brackets

Align bracket A and bracket B, then slide them together until they interlock.

Visual shows two L-shaped bracket pieces (A and B) being brought together and slotted into each other.

Step 2: Prepare Mounting Bracket

Manipulate the assembled bracket as indicated by curved arrows, likely to open it or set it for attachment.

Visual shows the assembled bracket being flexed or opened, with curved arrows indicating movement.

Step 3: Measure Window Width

Measure the width of the window frame where the blind will be installed. This measurement is denoted as 'X' in millimeters and inches.

Visual shows a window frame with a tape measure indicating a width 'X mm (X")'.

Step 4: Cut Rod to Size

Attach a guide rail component (B) to a rod. Use a hacksaw to cut the rod to the required length 'X', matching the window width.

Visual shows a rod being held by a clamp or jig, with bracket B attached, and a hacksaw cutting the rod.

Step 5: Determine Blind Width

The effective width of the blind fabric ('W') is determined by the measured width 'X'.

Visual shows 'X mm = W' and '(X") = W'.

Step 6: Pleated Blind Fabric

The main component, the pleated blind fabric, is shown.

Visual shows the folded pleated blind fabric.

Step 7: Prepare Rail and Determine Cord Length

Insert the cut rod into a bracket. A table is provided to determine the value 'N' (ranging from 0 to 16) based on the blind width 'W' (in mm and inches). This 'N' value likely corresponds to cord length or adjustment points.

Visual shows a rod being inserted into a bracket, followed by a table listing width ranges (W) and corresponding 'N' values.

Step 8: Mark Rail for Bracket Placement

Attach a bracket to the rail. Use a measuring tape and marking tool to indicate positions on the rail according to the determined 'N' value.

Step 9: Attach Brackets and Slide Fabric

Attach bracket B to the rail. Then, carefully slide the pleated blind fabric into the rail system.

Visual shows bracket B being attached to the rail, followed by the blind fabric being guided into the rail.

Step 10: Insert Fabric into Rail

⚠️ Caution: Carefully slide the blind fabric into the rail. Ensure fingers are kept clear to avoid pinching.

Visual shows the blind fabric being inserted into the rail, with a close-up showing fingers near the mechanism and a warning icon.

Step 11: Mark Top of Blind

Measure 100 mm (4 inches) down from the top edge of the blind fabric and mark this position.

Visual shows the top of the blind fabric with a measurement of '100 mm (4")' indicated.

Step 12: Attach Components to Fabric and Rail

Attach the prepared components (likely end caps or cord guides) to the blind fabric at the marked position. Then, attach these components to the main rail system.

Visual shows components being attached to the blind fabric, and then these being connected to the rail.

Step 13: Attach Rail to Window Frame

⚠️ Caution: Attach the assembled rail to the window frame. Ensure it is securely fastened.

Visual shows the rail being positioned and attached to a window frame, with a warning icon.

Step 14: Secure Brackets

Detailed view shows the process of securing the mounting brackets to the blind's rail using screws (8 screws are indicated).

Visual shows a close-up of brackets being attached to the rail with screws.

Step 15: Position Blind and Ensure Clearance

ℹ️ Information: Position the blind within the window frame. Ensure a minimum clearance of 6 mm (1/4 inch) is maintained between the blind and the frame for proper operation.

Visual shows the blind installed in a window frame, with a close-up of the bracket attachment and a measurement 'min 6 mm (min 1/4")'.

Step 16: Clean Window Frame

Clean the window frame thoroughly before proceeding with the final installation steps.

Visual shows a hand wiping the window frame.

Step 17: Final Attachment and Securing

Attach the blind to the frame. The close-up shows a mechanism engaging, which requires approximately 10 seconds to fully secure the blind.

Visual shows the blind being attached to the frame, with a close-up of a bracket mechanism and a timer indicating '10 sec.'.

Alternative Mounting Methods

The following steps illustrate alternative methods for mounting the blind, potentially for different window types or installation preferences (e.g., inside vs. outside mount).

Alternative Mounting - Method A (Pages 16-17)

This method involves attaching wall brackets (4x) to the window frame or wall first. The blind's rail is then attached to these pre-mounted brackets. A close-up shows the securing mechanism engaging, requiring approximately 10 seconds to lock.

Visuals show wall brackets being screwed into place, then the blind rail being clipped onto them.

Alternative Mounting - Method B (Pages 18-19)

This method shows attaching specific brackets to the blind's rail, which are then used to slide or clip the entire blind assembly into the window frame or mounting system.

Visuals show brackets being attached to the blind rail, and then the rail being inserted into a frame.

Operation and Final Warnings

To operate the blind, use the cords to raise or lower it.

Visual shows up and down arrows indicating cord operation.

⚠️ Warning: Do not pull the blind down past its lowest possible position, as this may cause damage.

Visual shows the blind fully lowered with a cross symbol over it, indicating this action is not allowed.
