tion grilles. When the grilles become dirty, wipe them
with a soft cloth dampened with diluted mild deter-
gent, and then wipe them with a dry cloth.

Maintenance
Caution:
Be sure to turn off the lamp and unplug the power
cord from the wall outlet before you perform any
maintenance on the projector.
Cleaning of the air-filter
Clean the air-filter fre-
quently (about once a
month). If the filter or
ventilation grilles become
clogged with dirt or dust,
the temperature inside the
projector may rise and
cause troubles, such as
damage to the inside parts
and shortening the life of
the panels.
• When the temperature inside the projector rises,
the STATUS indicator will blink red and the lamp
will be turned off.
1. Put the projector upside
down and raise the lock of
the filter cover in the
direction of the arrow.
2. Remove the air-filter.
3. Wash the air-filter or
change it with a new filter.
• Use water or diluted mild
detergent to clean the filter.
Rinse the filter thoroughly
and let it dry completely.
