Cleaning the lens
■Use a commercially available blower or lens clean-
ing paper (for glasses and camera lenses) for clean-
ing the lens. Do not use any liquid type cleaning
agents, as they may wear off the coating film on the
surface of the lens.
■ As the surface of the lens can easily get damaged,
be careful not to scrape or hit the lens.
Cleaning the exhaust and intake vents
■Use a vacuum cleaner to clean dust from the ex-
haust vent and the intake vent.
Info
•If you want to clean the air vents during projec-
tor operation, ensure you press  STANDBY/ON
on the projector or  STANDBY on the remote
control and put the projector into standby mode.
After the cooling fan has stopped, unplug the
power cord from the AC socket and clean the
v ents.
• The air filters should be cleaned every 100
hours of use. Clean the filters more often when
the projector is used in a dusty or smoky loca-
tion.
Cleaning the projector
■ Ensure the power cord is unplugged before cleaning
the projector.
■ The cabinet as well as the operation panel is made
of plastic. Avoid using benzene or thinner, as these
can damage the finish on the cabinet.
■ Do not use volatile agents such as insecticides on
the projector.
Do not attach rubber or plastic items to the projec-
tor for long periods.
The effects of some of the agents in the plastic may
cause damage to the quality or finish of the projector.
■ Wipe off dirt gently with a soft flannel cloth.
■ When the dirt is hard to remove, soak a cloth in a
mild detergent diluted with water, wring the cloth
well and then wipe the projector.
Strong cleaning detergents may discolor, warp or
damage the coating on the projector. Make sure to
test on a small, inconspicuous area on the projec-
tor before use.
