Air Filter and Vent Maintenance

Regular filter maintenance is important to maintaining your projector. Clean
the air filer when a message appears telling you the temperature inside the
projector has reached a high level. It is recommended that you clean these
parts over a 10000‑hour* or 6000‑hour** period. Clean them more often than
this if you use the projector in a particularly dusty environment.
* Available only for
EB‑2247U/EB‑2142W/EB‑2042/EB‑990U/EB‑980W/EB‑970.
** Available only for EB‑109W/EB‑108/EB‑107/EB‑W39/EB‑X39/EB‑S39.
Attention
If regular maintenance is not performed, your Epson projector will notify you
when the temperature inside the projector has reached a high level. Do not wait
until this warning appears to maintain your projector filter as prolonged exposure
to high temperatures may reduce the life of your projector or lamp.
