6. Maintenance
To clean the air-filter:
Vacuum the filter-through the filter cover.
To replace the filter:
1. Remove the filter cover (2 locations) by pushing up on the tab of the cover.
2.  Replace two filters.
  (1) g ently peel off the fi lter and clean the fi lter cover.
  (2) a ttach the new fi lter to the fi lter cover.
  t he air fi lter comes in two types. t hese two fi lters cannot be interchanged.
This section describes the simple maintenance procedures you should follow to clean the filter and replace the lamp.
 Cleaning or Replacing the Filter
The  air-filter  keeps  dust  and  dirt  from  getting  inside  the  projector  and  should  be  frequently  cleaned.  If  the  filter  is 
dirty or clogged, your projector may overheat.
NOTE: The message for filter cleaning will be displayed for one minute after the projector is turned on or off.
To cancel the message, press any button on the projector cabinet or the remote control.
CAUTION
•	 Turn	off	the	projector,	turn	off	the	main	power	switch	and	unplug	the	projector	before	replacing	the	filter.
•	 Only	clean	the	outside	of	the	filter	cover	with	a	vacuum	cleaner.
•	 Do	not	attempt	to	operate	the	projector	without	the	filter	cover.
ta b
NOTE: When turning over the projector, slowly place it on a soft cloth so as not to scratch the cabinet.
