Elite Window Fashions Panel Track Shades Installation Instructions Manual

Step 5. SHADE OPERATION

Pull gradually and gently on the cord to draw the panels open and closed.

Step 6. SAFETY

Canadian safety regulations for window coverings requires the use of a cord tensioner on all continuous loop chain systems. The use of such a device is intended to significantly reduce the occurrence of infant or small child strangulation injuries or deaths resulting from the looped pull chains on various window treatment products. The cord tensioner is pre-installed on the lift chain during manufacturing. The tensioning device should be mounted in the proper position to pull the chain taut in order to reduce the possibility of injuy. Please see separate Chain Tensioner installation manual for proper installation.

CLEANING AND CARE

Fabrics may be feather dusted or vacuumed at a low suction setting. Spots or stains can be rubbed clean with a damp sponge and mild soap. To avoid discoloration of the material, we recommend against the use of chemical cleaners or abrasives. If necessary, the shading may be ultrasonically cleaned by a professional.

Panel Track Shades

Installation Instructions

Step 1. BRACKET INSTALLATION

Brackets must be installed on a level mounting surface to ensure proper shade operation.

Mark the location of the installation brackets with a pencil on the mounting surface such that each bracket is no more than 3” from each end of the panel track. Space additional brackets as needed no more than 48” apart.

Inside Mount

3” min.

48” max.

Min. inside track mounting depth: 2 1/2”

Inside Mount with Valance:

If you have ordered a valance, place the valance inside the window frame and install the mounting brackets through the top cover of the valance. Ensure the valance is square and aligned with the window frame

All other mount types

(inside/outside no valance, outside with valance):

Secure the brackets using the screws provided ensuring they are level, in line with one another, and square.

Note: Wall plugs or anchors (not supplied) may be required for drywall mounting surfaces.

2 1/2” min

Inside-mount bracket

Outside Mount use 2 screws

Outside mount bracket

Step 2. INSTALL THE PANEL TRACK

Hook the middle ridge of the track on the front lip of the brackets. Press the track into the back of the brackets and snap into place. For inside mounts with a valance skip to step 4.

For all other mount types, proceed to step 3.

Step 3. VALANCE INSTALLATION (outside mount only)

If you have ordered a valance with an inside mount panel track, please refer back to step 1.

For outside mount tracks, the valance is installed by pressing the top portion of the valance into the clips at the top of the installation brackets. Press the valance in until it rests securely in place.

Step 4. ATTACH THE FABRIC PANELS

Draw the cord so that the carriers are traversed across the entire track. Install one panel at a

Outside-mount bracket time, working from the back-most carrier

(closest to the window) to the front (closest to the room).

Unroll the panels to expose the velcro strip at the top of the panel and stick each panel to a carrier.

Ensure each panel hangs straight (fig. 1).
