The 102mm mounting bracket is used for all Veri Shades blinds. If required to extend the Veri Shades out from the wall the optional mounting plate can also be used. 102mm Bracket optional Mounting plate IMPORTANT: Please read these instructions all the way through before installing REPLACES ISSUE DATE: JANUARY 2018 APPROVED BY: J.

REVEAL FIT (INSIDE MOUNT) The Veri Shades should be installed into the recess as far as possible, while still allowing sufficient clearance for the vanes to rotate freely. 45mm to bottom end of hook 15MM FOR TIMBER 25MM FOR MASONARY Optional Mounting plates may be used to extend the position of the headrail mounting clips to a point outside of the reveal where required (must be ordered). BRACKET/CLIP SPACING Mountings should be within 200mm of the ends of the head channel and not more than 1 metre apart. 200mm 1 metre maximum 1 metre maximum 200mm For stacking side add an extra bracket for support. FACE FIT (OUTSIDE MOUNT) First measure the track and mark on the face or architrave of the window where to attach the brackets. Secondly, check the drop (length) of the Veri Shades and mark the height on the wall or architrave, allowing for clearance. Attach the brackets by using (20mm x 6# Panheads) screws supplied. Minimum 3 screws per bracket. REPLACES ISSUE DATE: JANUARY 2018 APPROVED BY: J. TAN PAGE 9 OF 13
BRICK OR RENDERED SURFACES Warning: Ensure you drill no closer than 25mm from the edge of these surfaces as you may chip or breakout the brick or render. 25mm 25mm INSTALLING THE TRACK Check to see what side the control is on before proceeding. Hold track up to the brackets ensuring front edge lip of the track engages into the lip of the bracket, twist up and backwards to snap the track on to the bracket. Note: Longer tracks will require you to snap each bracket in turn. Back ATTACHING THE SLATS With the track in a stacked position, ensure the carrier hooks are in an open position. This makes it easier to attach vanes. Lay your vanes over your shoulder. Taking one at a time, fabric will be supplied flat, rolled with two plastic clips fitted to both sides of the fabric panel. Each fabric panel clips to the next, clipping the two vanes together. Note the two end vanes will only have one clip. Wrap the fabric around the clip and attach with the provided double sided tape. Make sure the sheer side is facing to the inside of the room to give a uniform look. Push each slat into its hook. You should feel it click into position. click Front REPLACES ISSUE DATE: JANUARY 2018 APPROVED BY: J. TAN PAGE 10 OF 13
INSTALLING THE CORD & CHAIN TENSIONER After the blind has been securely mounted to the window, mount the cord tensioner to the reveal of the window opening (inside mount) or to the face of the wall (outside mount). Determine the correct mounting option as shown below. Important: Locate the tensioner as close to the window as possible to minimise accessibility by children and pets. Ensure the device is secured so that the cords are tensioned while still allowing the blind to be operated. Chain Tensioner OPTION A INSIDE MOUNT (1 SCREW) OPTION B INSIDE MOUNT (3 SCREWS) OPTION C OUTSIDE MOUNT (3 SCREWS) Attach the chain tensioner 1600mm above floor level. CARE AND CLEANING 1. For the removal of dirt and grime, simply wipe fabric blades with a sponge soaked in lukewarm water and a little mild detergent or occasional brushing with a soft brush or feather duster is sufficient also. 2. There can be significant variations between fabrics used in Veri Shades, therefore we recommend that you clean a small area as a test first. 3. Proper care and maintenance will increase the life of your investment. The surface of Veri Shades fabric and tracks will collect a layer of dust over time. Veri Shades fabric can be lightly hand washed and dried and can also be ironed with a cool iron or steamed to remove creases. Veri Shades tracks can be cleaned with a feather duster, or a slightly damp microfibre cloth to ensure the components are also dust free. CAUTION: Never use harsh cloths, harsh abrasives, chlorine or ammonia based chemicals or cleaners on any Veri Shades surface as they may affect the appearance, longevity and warranty of the product. 2 3 1 On the stack side of your blinds the end attachment can be unhooked in order to stack back the fabric to clean the window.

OPERATION Veri Shade: Blinds operate as per the Vertical Edge Blinds. The Chain: Controls the tilting of the Veri Shades and should be tilted several times to ensure it opens and closes correctly. The Cord: Traverses the vanes clear of the window allowing access for opening a window or cleaning. The Wand: Controls the tilting of the Veri Shades and traverses the vanes clear of the window allowing access for opening & closing or cleaning. Before traversing the vanes ensure they are tilted (opened) to the window. REPLACES ISSUE DATE: JANUARY 2018 APPROVED BY: J. TAN PAGE 12 OF 13
PROTECTING YOUR CHILDREN Please be aware that blind cords or chains pose a strangulation hazard for children. To reduce the risk of strangulation this internal window covering must be installed in such a way that a loose cord cannot form a loop 220 mm or longer at a height of less than 1600mm above floor level. If your shade is provided with cord operation, it is essential that the following installation instructions are adhered to: The cord may be installed lower than 1600mm above floor level if the cord is sufficiently secured or tensioned to prevent a loop of 220mm or longer being formed; If a cord is installed lower than 1600mm above floor level it must be fitted to prevent a child from being able to remove the cords. A If your blind is provided with a cord cleat, it is essential that the following installation instructions are adhered to: If a cleat is used to secure the cord, it must be at least 1600mm above floor level to prevent children from unwinding the cord from the cleat. This pack includes the following child safety devices for control options that use chain and cord. Cord Tension Device 28.237.850 B Cord Tension Hardware 415459000 SAFETY DEVICES max These safety devices are suitable for installation onto the following surfaces: max Timber Aluminium Gyproc (Spring Toggle) Brick (Wall Plug) NOTE: The Spring Toggle and Wall Plug are not included in this pack. CHILD SAFETY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS C Be aware that it is possible for children to strangle in window covering cords and chains. To reduce the possibility of such an accident, all cords and chains must be kept out of reach of children, including infants. Cord and chain tensioners are an effective way you implement this essential precaution. DIN 7981 min. min. 1,50 1600m m 2 REPLACES ISSUE DATE: JANUARY 2018 APPROVED BY: J. TAN PAGE 13 OF 13
