This section describes the simple maintenance procedures you should follow to clean the filter and replace the lamp.

•Only clean the outside of the filter cover with a vacuum cleaner.
•Do not attempt to operate the projector without the filter cover.
To clean the air-filter:
Vacuum the filter through the filter cover.
To replace the filter (sponge):
1. Remove the filter cover by pushing down on the catch of the cover until you feel it detach.
