Locating the Brackets
Diagram: Rail with 5cm measurement marks at each end.
Position the outermost brackets 5cm away from the end of the rail. Distribute any additional brackets evenly for wider windows. Mark the window area with a pencil.

Ensure the back of the bracket is clear of protruding items like window handles or vents to allow the blind to hang correctly.
Fitting the Brackets
The brackets offer two methods of installation:
Top-Fixing

Use the single hole in the top of the bracket to fix to the lintel (the 'ceiling' of the recess).
Face-Fixing
Diagram: Bracket with screws in back plate for wall/frame fixing.
Use two screws through the back plate to mount onto a facing surface (a wall or window frame).

Settling Pleats: New blinds may appear short; pleats will settle within 24 hours. To speed up, lower the blind fully and brush pleats downwards. Do not adjust cords.

Cleaning: Use a vacuum cleaner brush attachment for dust. Clean marks with a damp cloth or sponge. Do not soak the fabric, as this can cause pleats to lose shape.

Removing the Blind: Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the tab at the bottom of the rail, gently pry it back, and tilt the rail downwards. Repeat for each bracket.
⚠️ WARNING
STRANGULATION HAZARD — Young children can be strangled by cords. Immediately remove this product if a cord longer than 22 cm or a loop exceeding 44 cm around becomes accessible.
Installing the No-Tools Headrail
Diagram: No-tools headrail held against recess top.
Hold the no-tools headrail up against the top of the recess, then push the lever firmly upwards until the rail snaps into place. For fine-tuning:
Diagram: Adjustment block with screwdriver and red plugs.
At the end of the rail opposite the lever, use a flat-head screwdriver to twist the small red plugs inward. Slide the adjustment block out a few millimeters, then twist the red plugs back to their original position to secure. Make small adjustments only.
