Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues during or after installation, refer to the following solutions:
- Drapery rod not level: Ensure you use a level during the installation process.
- Drapery rod hook is loose: Attach drapery hooks to wall studs if possible. If you cannot attach to a stud, use the supplied anchors and screws.
Care and Maintenance
To keep your drapery rod in good condition, clean it with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, solvents, or polishes, as they may damage the finish.
