Maintenance
The projector needs little maintenance. You should keep the 
lens clean  because any dirt or stains will appear on the screen. 
You will also need to clean the air filter located at the bottom 
of the projector periodically. It is important to keep the air 
filter clean because a clogged air filter prevents proper 
ventilation which is necessary to cool the projector and 
prevent it from overheating.
The only parts you should replace yourself are the lamp and 
the air filter. If any other parts need replacing, contact your 
EMP-7300/7200/5300 dealer or qualified service personnel.
When cleaning any part of the projector, always switch off and 
unplug the projector first.
¨
Warning: Never open any of the covers on the projector except 
the lamp and filter covers. Dangerous electrical voltages inside 
the projector can cause severe injury. Except as specifically 
indicated in this Owner’s Manual, do not attempt to service this 
product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service 
personnel.

Cleaning the Lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the 
surface. Wipe the lens surface gently with a soft, dry, lint-free 
cloth.
To remove dirt or stains on the lens, moisten a soft cloth with 
water and a neutral detergent and gently wipe the lens surface.
Cleaning the Projector Case
To clean the projector case, first unplug the power cable. To 
remove dirt or dust, wipe the casing 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 casing.
Do not use alcohol, benzene, thinners or other chemical 
detergents as these can cause the casing to warp.

Cleaning the Air Filter
The air filter, which is located at the bottom of the projector, 
should be cleaned after every 100 hours of use. If it is not 
cleaned periodically, it can become clogged with dust and 
prevent the projector from being ventilated properly. This can 
cause overheating and damage the projector.
To clean the air filter:
1. Switch the projector off and unplug the power cable from 
the wall socket.
2. Stand the projector with the handle at the top so that the 
filter is easily accessible.
¨
Caution: Stand the projector with the handle at the top to 
prevent dust from entering the projector.
3. Lift the stopper of the filter cover with your fingers.

4. The air filter is attached to the inside of the projector. To 
clean the filter you are advised to use a small vacuum 
cleaner designed for computers and other office 
equipment. If you do not have one, use a dry, lint-free 
cloth.
If the dirt is difficult to remove or if the filter is torn, 
replace it. 
An air filter come with replacement lamps.
Contact your EMP-7300/7200/5300 dealer or call an 
EPSON Service Centre.
Be sure to request part number. (ELPLP05)
5. Replace the filter cover.
6. Plug the power cable back into the wall socket. 
Replacing the Lamp

It is time to replace the lamp when:
• The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
• The projection lamp indicator (orange and red, flashing 
alternately) is red.
• The message “LAMP REPLACE” appears on the screen 
when the projector lamp comes on.
Contact your local EPSON dealer for a replacement lamp.Use 
only replacement lamp part number. (ELPLP05)
