How do I set up the dimmer?

What does the LED indicator mean?

Troubleshooting
Lamp does not turn on or dim.
Ensure the dimmer is securely plugged into the wall socket and the lamp is plugged into the dimmer. Check that the lamp is within the 40-280W range and is a compatible dimmable type. Verify the rotary dial is turned to a setting that provides power.
Flickering light.
This may indicate incompatibility with the bulb type or a bulb that is below the minimum wattage requirement. Try a different dimmable bulb within the specified wattage range.
Dimmer feels excessively warm.
Disconnect the dimmer immediately and check the connected lamp's wattage. If it exceeds the 280W maximum, reduce the load. If the wattage is within limits, the lamp might be faulty or incompatible; try a different compatible lamp. Allow the dimmer to cool down before re-use.
LED indicator is not lit.
Check the power connection to the wall socket. If the socket is functional and the dimmer is plugged in, the LED itself may be faulty. The dimmer may still function even if the LED is not illuminated.
