1. 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.
2. Install in accordance with all national and local
electrical codes.
3. When no "grounding means" exists within the wallbox
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 green
wire before screwing control into wallbox.
4. Only one dimmer can be used in a 3-way circuit.
5. Protect the dimmer from dust and dirt when painting or
spackling the wall.
6. It is normal for the dimmer to feel warm to the touch
during operation.
7. Clean the dimmer with a soft damp cloth only. Do not use
any chemical cleaners.
8. For indoor use only.
