LEVOLOR App


smart phone


LEVOLOR’s Bluetooth® enabled app allows you to schedule your window coverings to adjust automatically on a timed schedule, when paired with the Premium 6-Channel Remote.

Our unique technology allows users to program a schedule on the app while they are within range of the window covering and remote, and it will still operate once they leave the home. However, the app can not be used to adjust the programmed schedule while away from the home. The device with the app must be within the range of the remote and window covering to change the schedule.

 

bluetooth Bluetooth technology is a short-range wireless connection between electronic devices. Users need to be close by or “within range” in order for the devices to connect and talk to one another. LEVOLOR defines “within range” as being in the same room.

 

Premium Remote

Download the LEVOLOR App on your Apple and Android devices to walk through the pairing process. Use the App's scheduling function to program your window coverings to adjust automatically, while you're at home or away.

Step 1A

Mark the bracket locations - outside mount installation (installation outside window casing)

  • Measure headrail width.
  • End brackets should be approximately 2"-3" in from each end of the headrail. Space additional brackets evenly between the two end brackets and mark their location. Mount into wood whenever possible.
    NOTE:Ensure that bracket placement will not interfere with any components inside the headrail.
  • With a pencil, mark the mounting screw locations through the rear holes of the bracket, 2 per bracket. Use a level to ensure bracket alignment.
  • Go to Step 1B.

Step 1B

Install the brackets - outside mount installation (installation outside window casing)

  • Using pencil marks as a guide, start the screw hole by pre-drilling (wood and metal mounting surfaces only).
    NOTE: A minimum 1-1/8" flat vertical surface is required for the installation brackets. Extension brackets require 1-1/4".
  • Hold bracket with surface marked "top" facing up. Holding bracket in place, secure with screws, 2 per bracket.
  • Repeat for each bracket.
  • Use a level to confirm brackets are level.

Example: Installation on drywall using drywall anchors and included screws.

 

 
 

Step 2A

Mark the bracket locations - inside mount installation (installation inside window casing)

  • Verify that window casing has a minimum depth of 1"
  • End brackets should be approximately 2"-3" in from each end of the headrail. Space additional brackets evenly between the two end brackets and mark their location. Mount into wood whenever possible.
  • If flush mount is desired, place the bracket 3-1/4" back from the inside top of the window frame.
  • With a pencil, mark the drill hole locations through the tip holes of the bracket, 2 per bracket.
  • Go to step 2B

Step 2B

Install the brackets - inside mount installation (installation inside window casing)

  • Using pencil marks as a guide, start the screw hole by pre-drilling (wood and metal mounting surfaces only).
  • Hold bracket with surface marked "top" facing up. Holding bracket in place, secure with screws, 2 per bracket.
  • Repeat for each bracket.
  • Use a level to confirm brackets are level.

Example: Installation on a wood window frame using the included screws.

 

 
 

Step 3A

Install shade on brackets

  • Position the shading so that the front faces you.
  • Slide the headrail into the installation brackets so the edge of the headrail is between the lever and the bracket, as shown.
  • Firmly push the headrail into each bracket until it clicks and the lever snaps to the right side of the bracket.
  • IMPORTANT: Carefully pull on the headrail at each bracket to ensure it is installed securely.

Cleaning and Care

Cleaning Procedures

Sheer Shadings are made of 100% polyester, which means they are inherently durable and resilient. However, care must be taken to avoid wrinkling the fabric, particularly where the vanes meet the facings.

Dusting - Regular light dusting with a feather duster is all the cleaning that is needed in most circumstances.

Vacuuming - Use a low suction, hand-held vacuum for more thorough dust removal.

Forced Air - Blow away dirt and debris between the vanes using clean compressed air.

Spot-Cleaning - Do NOT spot-clean sheer shadings.

 

Ultrasonic Cleaning

Sheer Shadings can be ultrasonically cleaned by a professional with the exception of light-dimming fabrics.

• Specify that a mild detergent solution be used.

• Never immerse the headrail in the solution.

• Dry the shading completely in the lowered position.

 

Injection/Extraction

Sheer Shadings can be professionally cleaned using the injection/extraction method.

• A dry method of injection/extraction is required for light-dimming fabrics.

• Never immerse the headrail in the solution.

 

Electrostatic Cleaning

Do not use electrostatic cleaning wipes on any sheer shadings.

 

A Note About Fabrics

As with all textiles, Sheer Shading fabrics are subject to some variations. Slight wrinkling, puckering, or bowing is inherent to this textile product and should be considered normal, acceptable quality. These characteristics are not usually visible from the front or rear but may be visible from a side angle.

 

Precautions should be taken to reduce exposure to harsh environmental elements, such as salt air. Continuous exposure through open windows and doors will accelerate the fabric deterioration.

 

NOTE: Improper cleaning may void warranty.
