INSTALLATION
Modern Draperies Dressing
Installation is the same for Luminette® Modern
Draperies as it is for Luminette Privacy Sheers —
except drapery products may require a few extra steps.
Steam the Fabric
■ With the drapery closed, steam along the full length
of the fabric, one column at a time.
■ Draw the Modern Draperies so that the fabric is
stacked.
■ Start at the top and steam along the full length of
the fabric, one column at a time.
Tie Back the Fabric
When you tie back the fabric after steaming, you are
reshaping the fabric’s memory.
■ Using kraft or a similar paper, tie back each stack at
the bottom.
■ Tape the paper to hold it in place overnight.
IMPORTANT: Allow the steamed fabric to dry in
this configuration overnight.
■ Carefully remove the paper the next day.

OPERATION
Troubleshooting
If your system is not operating correctly:
■ First review the guide that came with your remote or wireless wall switch.
■ Refer to the following troubleshooting for specific solutions for your shade.
If questions remain, please contact the Hunter Douglas Customer Information Center at
1-888-501-8364.
Problem
The system will not fit into
the installation brackets.
Solution
■ Check that the installation brackets are level and aligned.
Adjust and/or shim to level, if necessary.
■ Check that the SofTrak™ headrail is completely inserted into
the installation brackets. See Install the SofTrak Headrail on
page 13.
The system is not
responding to the remote
control, the wireless wall
switch, or the manual
control button.
■ Check that the DC power supply is securely plugged into
the wall outlet and that the outlet has power. To check that
the outlet has power, plug in a lamp or other device that is
known to work.
■ Check that the DC power supply is securely connected to
the 2-port slot on the motor. See Connect the Platinum™
Satellite Eye and DC Power Supply on page 16.
■ Check that the satellite eye is securely connected into the
motor housing. See Connect the Platinum Satellite Eye and
DC Power Supply on page 16.
■ Reset the system. See Resetting a Window Covering to
its Factory Defaults in the Platinum Technology Remote
Control Guide or the Platinum Technology Wireless Wall
Switch Guide for further information.
The fabric end treatment
does not hang straight.
■ Separate the hook and loop strips and reposition the end
treatment on the swivel plate. Repeat as necessary until
the end treatment hangs straight.
A vane does not
hang correctly.
■ Check that the vane is completely inserted into the pinion
clip. See Attach the Vanes to the Pinion Clips on page 19.
A vane is out
of alignment.
■ Manually turn the pinion clip to align it with the rest of the
pinion clips.
25
OPERATION
Problem
The end vane (attached
to the motor) does not
tilt with the rest of the
vanes.
Solution
■ Snap the tilt link back onto the
arm connectors.
Tilt Link

Connectors
Tilt Clip
■ Replace parts of the tilt link, as needed. Use the
Luminette® PowerGlide® 2.0 spare parts kit and follow the
instructions provided.
The two fabric panels
on a Privacy Sheers split
stack do not quite meet
in the center.
■ While up to a 1/4" gap is within
product tolerances, you can usually
ensure that the two lead vanes
meet in the center by cupping
them with your clean hands and
rounding them along the length of
the fabric.
The end treatment arm
does not swing around
the end cap.
■ On inside mounts, check that there is clearance between
the end of the headrail and the window casement.
■ If the fabric stops before it has fully traversed, reset
the system:
➤ Unplug the DC power supply from the outlet, then plug
it back into the outlet.
➤ Traverse the fabric fully closed (fabric covers the
window) and then fully open (fabric stacked back). This
sets the open and close limits.
With returns to the wall
(RTW), the last vane
and/or end treatment is
not closing.
26
■ On an outside mount with full returns to the wall, the end
treatments are stationary; they do not tilt. When the fabric
is tilted closed in either direction the returns may not appear
uniform. This is an inherent quality of the full return.
OPERATION
Problem
The rail makes noise
while traversing.
Solution
■ Check that the installation brackets are level and aligned.
Also, check for obstructions to the movement of the fabric.
■ From the top of the headrail,
pull up the plastic
bead chain to
Metal
Bead
check whether it
is loose. If so,
use needlenose
pliers to remove
the metal bead,
then move it
down a notch
and crimp it
tightly closed.

CARE
Cleaning Procedures
The fabric, valance, and vane fabric are 100% polyester. They are resilient, anti-static, and
dust resistant. Periodic cleaning is recommended to help keep Luminette® Privacy Sheers and
Modern Draperies looking like new. For all cleaning applications, fabrics should remain hanging
to minimize handling, wrinkling, or puckering.
IMPORTANT: Disposable gloves should be worn when handling fabrics.
CAUTION: Keep all cleaning solutions away from the SofTrak™ headrail system. Never immerse
the headrail.
Routine Cleaning
■ Use a feather duster for regular light dusting.
■ For more thorough dust removal, a hand-held vacuum with low suction may be used. When
vacuuming, avoid pulling or stretching the fabric.
■ Start in the upper left corner and work across the fabric using short horizontal strokes while
steadying the fabric with your free hand. Each stroke should be approximately the width
of two to three vanes. Do not use long horizontal or vertical strokes, as these actions will
crease the fabric. Continue to the bottom of the fabric.
CAUTION: Do not use a brush attachment or rigorous vacuuming since either could distort
the fabric.
Electrostatic Cleaning
CAUTION: Do not use electrostatic cleaning devices on any Luminette Privacy Sheers or
Modern Draperies products.
Spot-Cleaning
To reduce the potential for permanent staining, spots should be treated and cleaned as soon as
possible with a clothing stain pre-treatment solution.
■ Apply the pre-treatment solution to a clean, white cloth.
■ Support the fabric from behind using another clean, dry cloth. Clean the spot using a gentle
blotting action. Avoid rubbing the fabric since any abrasive action may cause it to distort.
■ Let the area air dry.
■ After the area is dry, remove excess solution by blotting it with distilled or bottled water
applied to another clean cloth.
28
CARE
Deep Cleaning
For deep cleaning, both injection/extraction and ultrasonic cleaning methods are recommended.
CAUTION: Do not dry clean Luminette® fabrics.
Injection/Extraction Method
Professional injection/extraction cleaning injects a heated cleaning solution into the fabric and
extracts the dirty solution in the same motion. This process is done in the home.
■ Vacuum the fabric following the instructions under Routine Cleaning on the previous page,
prior to the injection/extraction cleaning.
■ Have your professional set and maintain their cleaning solution just below steaming.
■ Make sure stains are pre-treated to maximize the benefits of cleaning.
■ When cleaning the vanes from the back, use a 3" upholstery tool and start at the center of
the fabric. Clean one vane at a time from top to bottom working out toward the edge of the
fabric. Repeat for the other half of the fabric.
IMPORTANT: Both sides of each Luminette room-darkening vane need to be cleaned. This
is not necessary on Luminette translucent vanes.
■ When cleaning the face fabric from the front, close the vanes to the right and use a 4"
upholstery tool. Start in the upper left corner and use short, horizontal strokes (about the
width of three vanes) to move across the fabric. Clean from the top to the bottom.
■ Allow the fabric to dry in the fully traversed position with the vanes opened.
■ Steam out any wrinkles.
Ultrasonic Method
CAUTION: Do not use ultrasonic cleaning methods on Modern Draperies fabrics.
Professional ultrasonic cleaning is a process in which the fabric is inserted into a tank of
cleaning solution and then subjected to high frequency vibrations. Dirt is loosened from the
fabric and carried away in the cleaning solution. This process is done outside the home.
■ Ensure the supplier’s ultrasonic tank is long enough to accommodate the full length of the
fabric without folding the fabric or vanes.
■ Ensure the fabric is rolled onto a tube when being transported to and from the home. This
reduces the chance of wrinkling and damage.
■ Specify water that does not exceed 90º F throughout the process.
CAUTION: If water temperatures exceed 90º F, oxidation may damage the Luminette
room-darkening vanes.
29
CARE
■ Make sure stains are pre-treated to maximize the benefits of cleaning.
■ Hang fabrics immediately after cleaning with the vanes open and the loops evenly spaced.
Allow the fabric to drip dry completely.
Wrinkle and Crease Removal
Both the hand and steam machine methods described below are suitable for wrinkle and crease
removal. The hand method is more appropriate for smaller areas.
Hand Method
■ Rotate vanes to the fully opened position.
■ Apply warm distilled or bottled water to a clean, white cloth.
■ Support the fabric from behind using another clean, dry cloth.
■ Blot the wrinkle or creased area with the wet cloth.
■ Let the area air dry.
Steam Machine Method
■ Rotate vanes to the fully opened position.
■ From behind, direct the steam (maximum temperature 102º F) from a portable steam
machine to penetrate the fabric.
■ Use slow, short vertical movements. Begin at the top of the fabric and work your way down.
Several passes over the creased area may be needed.
■ Let the area air dry.
A Note About Textiles
As with all textiles, Luminette® fabrics are subject to some variations.
■ The fabric will change as its position changes.
■ Minor wrinkles, puckers, or other variations can appear and are inherent to this textile
product. Slight puckers in the fabric may be most noticeable when the fabric is traversed
across the opening after having been in the stacked position for a period of time. If desired,
the fabric may be steamed to minimize these minor variations. Steam from the rear side of
the fabric whenever possible.
■ Such variations, like those just mentioned, are normal, acceptable quality.
30
CARE
Remove the Modular Motor
■ Method 1: Insert the screwdriver into the slot on the drive assembly. Twist about a 1/4 turn to
release the spring-latch, and pull down gently on the motor assembly to separate.
■ Method 2: This method
works best when a
fabric is installed on the
headrail. Unhook the end
treatment and the first
vane prior to detaching
motor assembly.
Insert an Allen wrench
into the side slot on the
drive assembly (either
front or back) to release
the spring-latch, then pull
down gently on the motor
assembly to separate.
31
CARE
Remove the Fabric
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have clean hands or wear disposable gloves when handling
Luminette® fabric. Select an area in the home where the fabric can be laid flat. To avoid
wrinkling the fabric, do not fold the fabric or drape it over furniture.
■ Traverse the fabric to the stacked position.
■ Detach both end treatments from the ends of the headrail, as shown.
Hold the Swivel Plate in Place
and Pull Up on the Hook and
Loop Fasteners.
