Maintaining and Transporting the Projector51
Maintaining and 
Transporting the Projector
Your projector needs little maintenance. All you need to do on a 
regular basis is keep the lens clean. Any dirt or smears on the lens may 
show up on your projected image. 
You also need to periodically clean the air filter on top 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 dealer or a qualified servicer. 
This chapter covers the following:

Cleaning the projector case

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. 
						

							52Maintaining and Transporting the Projector
Cleaning the Lens 
Clean the lens 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 lens-cleaning paper. If 
necessary, moisten a soft cloth with lens cleaner and gently wipe 
the lens surface. 
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, thinner, or other chemical 
detergents. These can damage the case.
extend the lens and 
remove the cap before 
cleaning 
						

							Maintaining and Transporting the Projector53
Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter 
Clean the air filter on top 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, allow it to cool down, and unplug the 
power cord.
2. Stand the projector on end to keep dust and dirt from falling 
inside. 
3. To clean the filter, EPSON recommends using a small vacuum 
cleaner designed for computers and other office equipment. If you 
don’t have one, gently clean the filter using a very soft brush (such 
as an artist’s camel-hair brush).
If the dirt is difficult to remove or if the filter is torn, replace it. 
Contact your dealer or call EPSON at (800) 873-7766 in the 
United States and Canada to obtain a new one. 
note
When you get a 
replacement lamp for your 
projector, a new air filter 
is included. You should 
replace the filter when 
you replace the lamp. 
						

							54Maintaining and Transporting the Projector4. If you need to replace the filter, use a small screwdriver to pry it 
off.
5. To install the new filter, first insert the tab, then press down until 
it clicks in place.
Replacing the Lamp 
The projection lamp typically lasts for about 1000 hours of use. It is 
time to replace the lamp when:

The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.

The   lamp warning light is red, flashing red, or flashing 
orange. 

The message LAMP REPLACE appears on the screen when the 
lamp comes on (after about 900 hours of use). To maintain 
projector brightness and image quality, replace the lamp as soon 
as possible.
Contact your dealer or call EPSON at (800) 873-7766 in the United 
States and Canada for a replacement lamp. Request part number 
ELPLP14.
note
You can check to see how 
many hours the lamp has 
been used. See page 49.
