5Maintenance 
 
T
he PowerLite 7000 projector needs little maintenance. You should 
keep the lens clean because any dirt or smears appear on the screen. 
You also need to periodically clean the air filter at the bottom of the 
projector. A clogged air filter can block ventilation needed to cool the 
projector and keep it from overheating. 
The only parts you should replace are the lamp and air filter. If any 
other part needs replacing, contact your PowerLite 7000 dealer or a 
qualified service person.
F
Warning: Before you clean any part of the projector, turn off the projector 
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 Owner’s Manual. Refer all other servicing to qualified service personnel.
Cleaning the Lens 
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. Lightly wipe the lens surface with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. To remove dirt or smears on the lens, moisten a soft cloth with an alcohol-based cleaner and gently wipe the lens surface.
Cleaning the Projector Case 
 
To clean the projector case, first 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 alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemical detergents. These can cause the case to warp.

							Cleaning the Air Filter
n  n  n  n  n  n  n  n 83
Cleaning the Air Filter 
 
Clean the air filter at the bottom of the projector after every 100 hours of use. If it is not cleaned periodically, it can become clogged with dust, preventing proper ventilation. This can cause overheating and damage the projector. To clean the air filter, follow these steps:1.
Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable.
2.
Turn the projector on its right side so that the handle is on top and you can access the filter easily.Note:
 Standing the projector with the handle at the top keeps dust 
from getting inside the projector housing.
3.
Use a screwdriver, coin, or similar object to unscrew one screw, lift, and remove the filter cover.

The filter is attached to the inside of the filter cover. It is recommended that you use a small vacuum cleaner designed for computers and other office equipment to clean the filter. If you don’t have one, use a dry, lint-free cloth.  If the dirt is difficult to remove or if the filter is torn, replace it. Contact your PowerLite 7000 dealer or call EPSON Accessories at (800) 873-7766 in the United States and Canada to obtain a new one. Request part number 1032043.
