• Dimmable LED, dimmable CFL,

incandescent, and MLV lighting.

• Do NOT use your dimmer with metal

wallplates, electronic low-voltage, motor loads, or aluminum wire.

• Installation in metal wall boxes or

with metal wallplates may result in poor RF performance.

• When two or more dimmers are

installed next to each other, the Load ratings become 500W incandescent and 500VA MLV for each dimmer. No reduction is necessary if the Load is LED or CFL.

• For compatible LED bulbs, go to leviton.com/LED.

What to do if...

When power is applied, the light turns ON, but the dimmer is not able to change the light level:

• For proper operation, the dimmer needs a Line (Hot),

Load, and Ground connection. Make sure your wires are connected properly and that the wire connectors are secure.

The dimmer does not dim low enough or begins to ﬂicker at the low end of the dimming range:

• Use the My Leviton app to increase the minimum dim level

to the point that it does not cause the LED bulb to ﬂicker.

Intermittent dimmer operation:

• Conﬁrm the Load does not exceed its ratings.

Not connected or intermittent connection to the Decora Smart Wi-Fi Bridge:

• Make sure the MLWSB Wi-Fi Bridge is in range and powered;

move the Bridge closer if possible.

Pair to a different Wi-Fi Bridge:

• Make sure the MLWSB Wi-Fi Bridge is in range and powered.

• Using the My Leviton app, go to dimmer’s device

settings, select “Reconﬁgure Wireless” and follow the in-app instructions.

How do I clean my device?

• To clean, use a damp cloth with mild soap. DO NOT use

disinfecting products, including foggers, sprays, or other types of atomized cleaning agents.
