1.Getting Started
2.T-Post
2.1 Install the T-Post metal plates:
2.2 Attach the T-post with Top & Bottom Frames:
3.Installing the Frame
Position the assembled frame evenly around the inside of the window frame and secure with the screw into the upper left hand frame only. Once the left side is secured, level the frame inside the window and secure with a screw into the upper right hand side.
Place the panels in the frame one by one and insert hinge pins into the hinges.
The hinges on the shutter panel can be adjusted slightly up or down if required.
Place all panels in the closed position inside the shutter frame.
Once your panels have been positioned and secured with the hinge pins, make sure your panels are even across the bottom. If the panels do not line up shift the frame from left to right until your panel’s lines up.
Once the panels have been lined up secure the bottom left hand frame with the screws provided. After securing the bottom left side, secure the bottom right side. Check the gaps between the panels and frame and adjust accordingly with the hinge spacers provided (if needed).
Now that you have secured the top and bottom corners, and your panel operates properly, secure with the screws the middle of the bottom, top and side frames (move side frames in and out to achieve proper tolerance between panels and frame).
Some gaps between the shutter frame and the window frame may arise if your window is out of square, particularly on inside mount L frames. These gaps will need to be filled with white “no more gaps”.

How to clean plantation shutters?
ASE recommends that all surfaces be kept clean by prompt removal of all dust, dirt, grime, and any foreign matter using clean water and a small amount of mild detergent. We suggest regular cleaning by wiping down with a damp cloth. Do not use chemical-based cleaning products to clean the shutters. Regular cleaning will keep your door looking like new!
1) Dust with a lint-free or microfibre cloth
2) Run a clean and wet cloth across all areas of the shutters. You may clean them with mild dishwashing liquid mixed with water if you think your plantation shutters are looking dirtier than usual
3)Dry with another clean lint-free cloth
Note: Do not use any household cleaners that contain ammonia or chlorine. They will damage your shutters. Use non-household cleaners with soft and non-abrasive cloths for dusting and wiping.
If your shutters are in wet areas such as bathrooms and kitchen, we recommend you clean it every month and be aware of the hinges and magnet areas, as these areas can be easily rusted and / or corroded if they are not cleaned properly.
