24 v Motorised Blinds:
Connection: The built-in motor (24 V DC) with automatic end position adjustment may only be connected to
the 230V mains using a stabilized 24 Volt DC Power Supply.
Only use Power Supplies and controls recommended by the manufacturer of the Pleated Blind, to prevent
damage or malfunctioning caused by non-compatible electric components!
When connecting electric components, the wiring diagrams provided by the manufacturer must be observed.
If you haven’t received a wiring diagram, please contact your supplier.
MAINTENANCE:
It is recommended that Pleated blinds should be stacked overnight, at least once a week, to help retain their
pleating and shape.
The fabric of both Duette
®
or Luxaflex
®
Plissé blinds cannot be separated from the headrail. To prevent the
Duette
®
or Luxaflex
®
Plissé fabrics from becoming dirty, the blinds should be cleaned regularly with a feather
duster or vacuum cleaner on a low setting. Stains should be removed as quickly as possible with a soft
sponge and lukewarm water containing a non-synthetic
detergent, if required.
N.B. Duette
®
and Luxaflex
®
Plissé fabrics with metalised coatings should NOT be cleaned with water, as this
could damage the coating.
In order to clean the whole blind, it is possible to submerge non-metalised coated Duette
®
or Luxaflex
®
Plissé
in a bath. This does not apply to Blackout fabrics. Steel weights should be removed from the bottom rail,
which can be accessed by removing bottom rail end caps and cover profile, before washing.
Proceed as follows:
Fill a container, bath or basin with lukewarm water (30°) and add a non-synthetic detergent, one cap full per
litre water. Lay the fabric in the water and hold the headrail above the water. The cleaning result will be
better if the pleats are not held in the water as a stacked bundle, but in an open position. Prevent creasing or
deforming the fabric or pleats. Use a soft sponge or brush on the fabric to clean any stains. Do not leave the
fabric in the water for longer than two hours. Hang the fabric out fully over the bath and spray clean it, front
and back, to ensure that dirt and soap residue is removed from the fabric.
Pull the fabric up carefully and ensure that the pleats fold correctly. Once the bundle of material has
completely been folded together, squeeze the head and bottom rail together, which will wring as much water
out of the fabric as possible. Replace the steel weights in the bottom rail. Remount the blind into it’s
brackets, and allow the blind to drop completely. You can try again to remove any stubborn stains or residue
with a slightly damp sponge. Now raise the blind to approximately 300mm below the headrail.
Raise the fabric once every hour and then allow to drop fully, before raising it again to 300mm below the
headrail. Repeat this cycle until the fabric is dry. If the shade is wider than the bath at your disposal, you can
clean the fabric with a soft sponge or have it cleaned by a
professional cleaning service.
