Routine Servicing
Ⅵ Clean dirt on the cabinet
Do this with a soft cloth. In case of heavy soiling, soak a
cloth in neutral detergent diluted with water, wring dry
and wipe, followed by wiping again using a dry cloth.
Pay attention to the following to prevent the cabinet from
deteriorating in condition, getting damaged, or the paint
from coming off.
● Do not wipe with a stiff cloth
● Do not wipe with force
● Do not wipe with thinner or benzene
● Do not spray volatile chemicals like insecticide
● Do not allow prolonged contact with rubber or
plastic products
Ⅵ Remove dirt that is attached to the vent holes
Do this using a vacuum cleaner. Wipe using a cloth if a
vacuum cleaner cannot be used. Leaving dust attached
may prevent adjustment of the internal temperature and
result in malfunction of the projector.

Do this using commercial blowers or lens cleaning
papers (for cleaning glasses and cameras).
Do not use fluid-type cleaning agents. This may lead to
peeling of the surface coating film.
Lens surface is fragile. Avoid rubbing or knocking it.
