Important Notes

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 in wall box, the National Electrical Code (NEC®) allows a control to be installed as a replacement when a plastic faceplate with plastic fasteners is used, or the circuit is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Lutron wallplates meet this requirement. Cap or remove green wire before screwing the control into the wall box.
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 more information, please see lutron.com/cleaning
For indoor use only.
