Filters  prevents  dust  from  accumulating  on  the  optical  elements  inside  the  projector.  Should  the  filters  become 
clogged  with  dust  particles,  it  will  reduce  cooling  fans’  effectiveness  and  may  result  in  internal  heat  buildup 
and  adversely  affect  the  life  of  the  projector.  If  a  “Filter  warning”  icon  appears  on  the  screen,  clean  the  filters  
immediately. Clean the filter by following the steps below.
Gently  clean  the  filters  by  using  a  brush  or  rinse  them
