Variations are the appeal of Allure...The exclusive processes used in weaving these materials create distinctive variations and you may see various threads or slubs woven into the fabric creating light or dark colors intermittently dispersed throughout. These variations are intentional and add to the beauty and truly unique appearance of each shade.

How To Prevent SkewingAny product that rolls on a tube or roller has a potential to skew. All shades are checked for skewing at the time of inspection. The factory will shim the roller if necessary to assure your shades are rolling straight. When installing, make sure the brackets are level. If the brackets are off by even as little as 1/8”, skewing can occur. If skewing occurs after installing the shade, please follow these instructions:

• Lower the shade all the way down until you see where the material is attached to the tube or roller. • Gently grasp the very top, back fabric directly below the headrail on the side that needs adjustment. • Pull the fabric to the side of the shade. Do not pull the netting if possible. • Apply the amount of pressure needed to get the fabric to slide in the back of the headrail. • Repeat on the side needed until front and back fabrics are aligned.

Allure Installation Instructions 5BACK 18-8004-CASS November 2014

Remove the ShadeSmall Cassette: To remove shade from the spring loaded bracket, raise the shade. Push in on the top front of the headrail and tilt the bottom of the shade toward the room to remove from bracket.

Large or Sundown Cassette: Insert a flat blade screwdriver into the release tab and twist. Tilt the shade toward the room to remove from brackets.

Care and CleaningAllure Transitional Shades have an extraordinary and remarkable self-dusting feature. Simply roll the shade up into the headrail and back down again to remove dust. The shading can be feather dusted or vacuumed at a low setting. Spots can be cleaned with a damp sponge and mild soap. To avoid discoloration, do not use chemical cleaners. Ultrasonic cleaning is not recommended. It will damaged the shade.

In dry conditions, static may occur causing front and back panels to stick together or fabric to wave. If this happens, please spray with anti-static guard. This may have to be done periodically to eliminate static buildup.Recommended brand is “Static Guard”.

Operate the ShadeAllure Transitional Shades now come with a continuous loop chain so that the chain length does not exceed the ordered length. There is extra material to allow for the roll-up so additional care must be given not to over-rotate the shade past the ordered length.

Allure - Pull on the back of the chain to lower the shade. Once the shade reaches the full length, the view can be adjusted.

Sundown - Pull on the back of the chain to lower the shade. One the shade reaches the full length, the view can be adjusted. Continue pulling until the Sundown material is exposed. The view can be adjusted to show all or part of the Sundown material.

Sundown Caution: As Allure Sundown transitions from light filtering to room darkening fabric, the bottom rail will drop below the ordered length. Once the room darkening fabric has been completely lowered the bottom rail will raise back to its ordered length. This extra drop experienced during transition can distort and damage the fabric if the bottom rail hits the window sill.

SHADE DOES NOT ROLL STRAIGHTAll shades are hung and inspected in the factory to ensure a straight roll. All spring roller shades should be pulled from the center of the bottom of the shade. Pulling the shade from the sides can cause the shade to roll crooked and possible damage the material. Masking tape used on the roller will act as a shim. Use the following instructions to correct.

If shade veers toward the right (Fig. A) lower completely and place a 4” strip of masking tape on the roller on the left side. Repeat as necessary until a straight roll is achieved.

If shade veers toward the left (Fig. B) lower shade completely and place a 4” strip of masking tape on the right side. Repeat as necessary until a straight roll is achieved.
