cases, both types may be included.

Care and cleaning
Keep your woven-wood natural shades looking their
best by periodically vacuuming them with a brush
attachment.
Tips:
•
You can clean the shades hanging in place or take
them down.
Additional instructions apply as follows:
For the optional sheer privacy liner:
• Do not remove the liner for cleaning.
•
Spot-clean the polyester-cotton blend liner as you
would upholstery.
• Vacuum periodically to dust.
•
The liner may bunch when the shade is raised; lower
the blind to remove wrinkles and raise slowly to keep
the liner neat.
• Press the liner into the fold when raising long shades.
Outside-mount brackets
To raise the shade, pull the cord and release it when the
shade reaches the desired height. To lower the shade,
gently pull the cord toward the center of the window,
and then release to lower the shade.
NOTE: If your shades have hold-down brackets, unhook
the bottom rail before raising.
Do not force the cord; if the shade does not raise or
lower, check for objects preventing proper operation.
Painted and stained woods and dyed yarns are subject
to color variation. Although we maintain strict stan-
dards to control these variations, we cannot guarantee
exact color match from dye lot to dye lot. The side of
the Roman shade that faces outdoors will change color
in relation to the amount of sun exposure.
Color variation
Stretching and shrinking
Woven wood will be affected by temperature and
humidity. Shipping and handling may cause a slight
change in shade lengths.
Top-Down Bottom-Up models:
To lower your shade from the top, use the left-hand cord.
Pull the cord gently toward the center of the window,
and then release to lower the shade. Gently pull the cord
to the left to lock the shade in place.
To raise your shade back to the top, gently pull the
left-hand cord toward the center of the window to
unlock it, and then pull the cord to raise the shade.
