Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. 
• Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust.

= 1 (hours used in Economic mode) + 4/3 (hours used in normal mode)
See Setting Lamp Mode as Economic below for more information on Economic mode.
The lamp hour in Economic mode is calculated as 3/4 of that in normal mode....
