Maintaining the Projector
Your projector needs little maintenance. All you have to do on a 
regular basis is keep the lens cover glass clean. Any dirt or smears on 
the lens cover glass may show up on your projected image.
You may need to clean the air filter. A clogged air filter can block 
ventilation needed to cool the projector and cause overheating.
The only parts you should replace are the lamp and air filter. If any 
other part needs replacing, contact your dealer or a qualified servicer.
This chapter covers the following:
■Cleaning the lens cover glass
■Cleaning the projector case
■Cleaning the air filter
■Replacing the air filter
■Replacing the lamp
■Transporting the projector
warning
Before you clean any part of 
the projector, turn it off and 
unplug the power cord. 
Never open any cover on the 
projector, except the lamp 
and filter covers. Dangerous 
electrical voltages in the 
projector can injure you 
severely. Do not try to service 
this product yourself, except 
as specifically explained in 
this User’s Guide. Refer all 
other servicing to qualified 
service personnel. 
						

							86Maintaining the Projector
Cleaning the Lens Cover Glass
Clean the lens cover glass whenever you notice dirt or dust on the 
surface.
■Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust.
■To remove dirt or smears on the lens, use a commercially available 
cloth for cleaning eyeglasses.
Cleaning the Projector Case
Before you clean the case, first turn off the projector and unplug the 
power cord.
■To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, dry, lint-free 
cloth.
■To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water 
and a neutral detergent. Then wipe the case.
■Do not use wax, alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other 
chemical detergents. These can damage the case.

Cleaning the Air Filter
Clean the air filter when you see any of the following messages: The

You can remove the air filter to clean both sides.
3. When you have finished cleaning the air filter, close the cover and 
reset the timer as described on page 88.
4. If the dirt is difficult to remove or a filter is broken, replace the
