Maintaining the Projector
Your projector needs little maintenance. All you have to do is keep 
the lens clean and periodically clean the air filter and vent. A clogged 
air filter or vent can block ventilation needed to cool the projector.
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
■Cleaning the projector case

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 tissue. If 
necessary, moisten a soft cloth with lens cleaner and gently wipe the 
lens.
Cleaning the Projector Case
Before you clean the case, turn off the projector and unplug the power 
cord.
■To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, dry, lint-free 
cloth.

Cleaning the Air Filter and Vent
Clean the air filter and air intake vent after every 100 hours of use. If 
they are not cleaned periodically, they can become clogged with dust, 
preventing proper ventilation. This can cause overheating and damage 
the projector. 
Follow these steps:
1. Turn off the projector. Wait for the 
Power light to stop flashing, 
then unplug the power cord.
2. Turn the projector upside down.
3. To clean the intake vent and filter, use a small vacuum...
