Cleaning The Air Filter; Replacing The Air Filter - Sanyo PLV-Z2 Owner's Manual

Cleaning the Air Filter

The air filter prevents dust from accumulating on the surface of the optical elements inside the projector. Should the air
filter become clogged with dust particles, it will reduce cooling fans' effectiveness and may result in internal heat build up
and adversely affect the life of the projector. Clean the air filter following the steps below.
1 Turn off the projector and disconnect the AC power cord from
the AC outlet.
2 Turn over the projector and remove the air filter by pulling the
latches on both edges upward.
3 Remove dust and dirt with a soft brush. Be careful not to
damage the air filter and do not clean the air filter with water.
When there is much dust and dirt on the air filter, replace it with
a new one. (See below for replacing the air filter.)
4 Put the air filter back into position. Make sure that the air filter
is properly and fully inserted.
CAUTION
Do not operate the projector with the air filter removed.
Dust may accumulate on the LCD panel and the projection
mirror degrading picture quality.
Do not put small parts into the air intake vents. It may
result in malfunction of the projector.
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend avoiding dusty/smoky environments when operating
the projector. When using under dusty or smoky conditions, dust
may accumulate on a lens, LCD panels, or optical elements inside the
projector. This condition may degrade the quality of a projected
image.
When the above symptoms are noticed, contact your authorized
dealer or service station for proper cleaning.
