Cleaning the Air 
Filter
When “Please clean the filter.” appears on 
the screen, you should clean the air filter.
The air filter should be cleaned every 1,500 
hours. This value varies depending on the 
environment or how the projector is used. 
1,500 hours are approximate.
After washing the air filter with a mild 
detergent solution, dry it in a shaded place.
 When you clean the air filter, make sure you 
do not damage it.
For details on how to attach and remove the 
air filter, see “Replacing the Lamp and the 
Air Filter and cleaning the Ventilation holes 
(intake)” Steps 7 to 10. (1 page 59)
 When you remove the air filter, be careful 
not to let any dust fall into the projector.
 Cleaning the air filter is crucial to maintain 
the good performance of the projector or to 
prevent malfunction to it. When a warning 
message for cleaning the air filter appears, 
clean the air filter immediately.
