IMPORTANT
- CAUTION: Use only with permanently installed fixtures with dimmable screw-in compact fluorescent, dimmable screw-in LED, halogen, or incandescent lamps. To avoid overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not use to control receptacles, motor-driven appliances, or transformer-supplied appliances.
- Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
- When no “grounding means” exists within the wall box for an existing switch or dimmer, the National Electrical Code® (NEC®) allows a switch/dimmer to be installed as a replacement as long as 1) a nonmetallic, noncombustible faceplate is used with nonmetallic attachment screws or 2) the circuit is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter. Lutron wallplates meet this requirement. When installing a control according to these methods, cap or remove the green wire before screwing the control into the wall box.
- Only one dimmer can be used in a 3-way circuit.
- Protect the dimmer from dust and dirt when painting or spackling the wall.
- It is normal for the dimmer to feel warm to the touch during operation.
- Clean the dimmer with a soft damp cloth only. Do not use any chemical cleaners.
- For indoor use only.
Turn the power OFF at the circuit breaker
WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD.
May result in serious injury or death. Turn off the power at the circuit
breaker or fuse before installing.
Remove side sections (if ganging devices)

side sections reduces the dimmer’s maximum wattage rating (see chart below).
