GETTING STARTED
Thank you for purchasing Shade-O-Matic Roller Shades. With proper installation, operation, and
care, your new shades will provide years of beauty and performance. Please thoroughly review
this instruction booklet before beginning the installation.
Mounting Types
If the installation brackets are mounted correctly, the rest of the installation process will follow
easily. To prepare for this important first step, review the mounting types and basic window
terminology illustrated below.
Molding
Top Sill
Jamb
Jamb
Collectively, the sills and
jambs are called the
“window casement.”
Inside Mount
Shade fits within
window opening.
Bottom Sill
Outside Mount
Shade mounts outside
window opening.
Installation Components
Check the packaging to be sure you have all the components needed to install your shade. Keep
the packaging until the shades perform to your satisfaction.
Required Components
 Installation Brackets for Standard Shades. The standard installation
brackets are supplied in pairs. One is used for the clutch side and
the other for the pin side of the shade.
 Installation Brackets for Cassette Shades. The number of installation
brackets required varies depending on the shade width, as shown in
the table.

 Universal Cord Tensioner (UCT) Installation Kit. The
UCT functions as a safety device that makes the cords less
accessible to children and pets. The cord control will only
function properly if the UCT is installed correctly.
tions
 Hold-Down Brackets. Hold-down brackets provide stability and
prevent swaying by securing the bottom bar (i.e. often used in French
door applications).
Tools and Fasteners Needed
 Flat blade and Robertson screwdriver
 Measuring tape and pencil
Hold-Down
Bracket
(Optional)
 Level
 Power drill, 3∕32" drill bit
In addition, you will need fasteners designed to work with your specific mounting surface(s).
 Robertson Head Screws (Provided). Two 11∕2"
screws are provided per installation bracket.
 Longer Head Screws (Not Provided). If using
spacer blocks, use a screw long enough for a secure
attachment.
 Wall Anchors or Expansion Bolts (Not Provided). If
mounting into drywall, you will need wall anchors or
expansion bolts to ensure a secure installation.

Indicator
Line
For complete UCT installation see the instructions provided
WARNING: It is imperative that the cord tensioner be properly secured to the wall or
window frame to reduce children’s access to the cord loop. Young children can strangle in
cord loops. They can also wrap cords around their necks and strangle.
CAUTION: The shading will not operate properly unless the cord tensioner is secured. A cord
tensioner installation kit has been included with your shading. Follow the instructions in the kit to
correctly secure the cord tensioner.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
The shade raises or
lowers unevenly.
 Check that the installation brackets are level and aligned. Shim
the brackets, if necessary.
The shade will not
raise.
 If the hold-down brackets have been used, make sure they
have been released.
The universal cord
tensioner has climbed
to the top of the
shade.
 Pull down on the spring to relieve tension and pull the universal
cord tensioner to the bottom of the cord loop. Properly mount
the cord tensioner. See Universal Cord Tensioner Installation
Instructions in the kit included with your shade.
The universal cord
tensioner grabs
onto the cord upon
operation.
The shade fabric
winds unevenly on
the roll.
 Check that the universal cord tensioner is mounted properly.
Reinstall, if necessary. See the Universal Cord Tensioner
Installation Instructions that came with your Cord Tensioner Kit.
 Check that the shade is level.
 Using the beaded cord loop, completely lower the roller shade.
•
If the fabric winds unevenly and begins to telescope to
one side, check to insure that the shade is level.
•
If the shade is not level, remove it from the installation
brackets and shim or re-install the brackets, as
necessary.
IMPORTANT: If the shade was unrolled before being installed, it
may not raise and lower to the right points.
To correct this:
 Remove the shade from the mounting brackets.
 Roll the shade up until the bottom rod is even with the bottom
of the clutch.
 Re-install the shade.

Care and Maintenance:
Dusting: Regular light dusting with a feather duster is all the cleaning that is needed in most
circumstances.
Vacuuming: Use the soft brush head of the vacuum cleaner on low setting for a more thorough
dust removal.
Spot Cleaning:
•
•
•
•
Prepare a solution of lukewarm water and mild detergent if needed.
Dampen a clean cloth or towel in the solution and wring thoroughly.
Dab the spot with the dampened cloth until spot is removed. Do not rub or soak the fabric.
Allow the shade to dry in completely lowered position.
Spot-cleaning may result in cleaner areas.
Notes: Certain light fabrics (e.g. concepts) should not be vacuumed or spot-cleaned.
CHILD SAFETY
! WARNING

www.healthcanada.gc.ca/blindcords
Young children can STRANGLE in cord loops. They can also wrap cords around their necks and
STRANGLE.
 Always keep cords out of the reach of children.
 Move cribs, playpens and other furniture away from cords. Children climb furniture to get
to cords.
Cord Loop Shades
 Attach the cord tensioner on the cord loop to the wall or
window casement. This can prevent children from pulling cord
loops around their necks.
 Shade-O-Matic provides a cord tensioner installation kit with
instructions for attaching the cord tensioner. For the shade
to operate properly, the cord tensioner must be correctly
mounted and secured. See The Universal Cord Tensioner
(UCT) Instruction provided for details.
