Air Filter And Vent Maintenance; Cleaning The Air Filter - Epson EH-LS300W User Manual

Air Filter and Vent Maintenance

Regular filter maintenance is important to maintain your projector. Clean the
air filter 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 12,000 hour period. Clean them more often than this if you use
the projector in a environment that is dustier than expected. (Assuming the
projector is used in an atmosphere in which airborne particulate matter is less
than 0.04 to 0.2 mg/m3.)
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.

Cleaning the Air Filter

You need to clean the projector's air filters in the following situations:
• The filter or vents get dusty.
a Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
b
Slide the air filter cover latch and open the air filter cover.
c Pull the air filter out of the projector.
d Vacuum the front of the air filter (the side with the tabs) to remove any
remaining dust.
Attention
• Do not rinse the air filter in water, or use any detergent or solvent to
clean it.
• Do not use canned air. The gases may leave a flammable residue or push
dust and debris into the projector's optics or other sensitive areas.
