Cleaning The Air Filter - Sanyo PLV-Z700 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
becomes clogged with dust particles, it will reduce cooling fan's effectiveness and may result in a buildup of internal heat
and adversely affect the life of the projector. Clean the air filter by following the steps below.
1
Unplug the AC power cord before cleaning.
2
Press the latch and release it. Take off the filter cover.
3
Pull out the air filter.
When taking out the air filter, put your fingers on the air
filter's tabs and pull. Do not try to pull the delicate filter part.
4
Remove dust and dirt with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.
Be careful not to damage the air filter and do not clean it
with water.
When the air filter gets dusty and dirty, replace it with a new
one. For ordering the replacement filter, contact your sales
dealer.
5
Put the air filter back into the position. Do not push the
delicate filter part. Make sure that the air filter is properly and
fully inserted.
6
Close the filter cover.
7
Reset the filter counter (p.48).
