Operating Your Dimmer
Dimming Control
The large vertical slide control on the dimmer allows you to adjust the light level. Slide the control up to increase brightness and down to decrease brightness. The light will respond smoothly to your adjustments.
Preset Function
The smaller button below the slide control is the preset button. Once you have set your desired light level using the slide, press this button to turn the lights ON or OFF at that preset level. To change the preset level, simply adjust the slide control to a new level; the dimmer will automatically remember this new setting.
Care and Maintenance
