Maintenance
The air filter should be cleaned every 500
hours.
Remove dust from the outside of the
ventilation holes with a vacuum cleaner
when the message “Please clean the filter”
appears in the display.
When it becomes difficult to remove the dust
from the filter with a vacuum cleaner,
remove the air filter and wash it.
1 Turn off the power and unplug the
power cord.
2 Place a protective sheet (cloth)
beneath the projector and turn the
projector over.
3 Remove the air filter cover.
4 Remove the air filter.
5 Wash the air filter with a mild
detergent solution and dry it in a
shaded place.
6 Attach the air filter and replace the
cover.
• If you neglect to clean the air filter, dust
may accumulate, clogging it. As a result,
the temperature may rise inside the unit,
leading to a possible malfunction or fire.
• If the dust cannot be removed from the air
filter, replace the air filter with the supplied
new one.
• Be sure to attach the air filter cover firmly.
Otherwise, dust may accumulate inside the
projector, leading to a possible malfunction.
• The air filter has a face and a reverse side.
Place the air filter so that it fits in a notch on
the air filter cover.
