Maintenance
Care of the projector
Your projector needs little maintenance. The only thing you need to do on a regular basis is 
to keep the lens clean.
Never remove any parts of the projector except the lamp. Contact your dealer if other parts 
need replacing.
Cleaning the lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface.
• Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust.
• If there is dirt or smears, use lens-cleaning paper or moisten a soft cloth with lens 
cleaner and gently wipe the lens surface.
CAUTION
Never rub the lens with abrasive materials.
Cleaning the projector case
Before you clean the case, turn the projector off using the proper shutdown procedure as 
described in "Shutting down the projector" on page 45 and unplug the power cord.
• To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral pH 
detergent. Then wipe the case.
CAUTION
Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner or other chemical detergents. These can damage the 
case.

replace the lamp, please install a new lamp or consult your dealer. An old lamp may cause a 
malfunction in the projector and in some instances the lamp may explode.

hot. Turn the power off and let the projector cool for 45 minutes. If the Lamp or Temp indicator 
still lights up after turning the power back on, please contact your dealer. See "Indicators" on
