Maintenance
Your 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 dealer or a 
qualified service person.
♦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 User’s Guide. 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 cable. 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, thinners or other chemical 
detergents. These can cause the case to warp. 
						

							Cleaning the Air Filter
          
85
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 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. Pull up the filter cover tab to release the filter cover. 
Remove the cover.
4. 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 dealer or call EPSON Service 
Center. 
5. Replace the filter cover when you’re done.

Replacing the Lamp
Replace the lamp when:
•The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
•The projection lamp indicator is flashing orange .
•The message “LAMP REPLACE” appears on the screen 
when the projector lamp comes on.
♦Note: To keep the initial brightness and image quality, replace 
the lamp as soon as possible when the message appears on the 
screen. The replacement message is set to being displayed at 
adout 2000 hours of use. Contact your local EPSON dealer for a 
spare lamp. Request part number ELPLP08.
♦Warning: Let the lamp cool before replacing it. Also, do not 
touch the glass portion of the lamp assembly. Touching the glass 
portion of the lamp will result in premature lamp failure.
1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable.
2. Use a screwdriver that came with your spare lamp to 
loosen the two retaining screws on the lamp cover. When 
the screws are loose, lift off the lamp cover. (You cannot 
remove these screws from the cover.)
