i) Soak the air filter unit in cold or warm water and then lightly rinse it.
f Do not use cleaning tools such as brushes.
f When rinsing, hold the frame of the air filter unit without putting strong pressure on the filter unit.
ii) Rinse the air filter unit two to three times using fresh water each time.
f Insufficient rinsing may result in odors.
2) Dry the air filter unit. (Fig. 2)
f Let the air filter unit naturally dry off in a well-ventilated place where there is little dust and is not exposed to direct sunlight.

Protrusion of the air filter unit
Groove on the projector body
Tabs on the projector body
1) Attach the air filter unit to the projector.
f The air filter unit has no difference between top and bottom, but is two-sided. Match the protrusion position of the air filter unit with the
grooves on the projector body.
f Hook the air filter unit frame at the exhaust port side to the two tabs of the back side of the projector's air filter unit compartment and
perform Step 2) in "Removing the air filter unit" in the reverse order to attach.
f Confirm that the tabs of the air filter unit compartment of the projector body are hooked to the air filter unit frame.
2) Attach the air filter cover to the projector and use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the air filter cover
screw.
f Perform Step 2) in "Removing the air filter unit" (x page 157) in the reverse order.
Attention
f After washing the air filter unit, dry it thoroughly before attaching it back to the projector. Attaching a wet unit will cause an electric shock or
malfunction.
f Do not disassemble the air filter unit.
Note
f Make sure that the air filter unit is properly attached before using the projector. If it is not properly attached, the projector will suck in dirt and
dust causing a malfunction.
f If you use the projector without attaching the air filter unit, the filter indicator <FILTER> flashes in red and the message appears on the
projection screen for approximately 30 seconds.
f Replace the air filter unit with the new optional Replacement Filter Unit (Model No.: ET-EMF320) if it is damaged or if the dirt does not come
off even after washing.
f Air filter replacement is recommended after cleaning the unit two times.
f The dust-proof properties may be reduced after each cleaning.
