Operate the Shade
For smooth operation, keep the wand close to the fabric
when raising and lowering the shade.
To Lower the Shade
Pull the wand toward the center of the shade at about a
45° angle. The locking mechanism at the top of the wand
releases with a “click.” The shade lowers as you allow
the wand to return to the vertical position.
IMPORTANT: The wand must be pulled in close to the
front of the shade. Do not pull the wand out away from
the shade.
To stop the shade while lowering, move the wand back toward the vertical position and
give a slight downward pull to engage the locking mechanism.
If the shade hits an obstruction as it is lowered it will stop, which may cause the cords
in each cord rout to become misaligned. This may cause the shade to be angled or tilted
when fully raised. If this occurs, do the following:
Raise the shade slightly.
Lower the shade completely to the sill. In some cases, pull gently on the bottom rail to
get it to drop completely.
IMPORTANT: If the shade is tilted when fully raised, do
not pull harder on the wand. It does not correct the tilt
and may make it worse.
To Raise the Shade
Pull the wand straight down or slightly toward the
outside.
With each stroke the shade partially raises.
Allow the wand to retract after each downward stroke.
Use multiple strokes until the shade reaches the desired position.
