Cleaning The Air Filter - Epson PowerLite 500c User Manual Supplement

note
When you get a
replacement lamp for your
projector, a new air filter is
included. You should
replace the filter when you
replace the lamp.

Cleaning the Air Filter

Clean the air filter after every 100 hours of use, or if the
temperature warning light on top of the projector turns red.
If the filter is not cleaned periodically, it can become clogged
with dust, preventing proper ventilation. This can cause
overheating and damage the projector. Follow these steps to
clean the filter:
1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
2. Pull up on the filter cover tab to release the cover. You may
need to use a small screwdriver to pry it off.
3. Remove the cover.
The filter is attached to the inside of the cover.
4. To clean the filter, EPSON recommends using a small
vacuum cleaner designed for computers and other office
equipment. If you don't have one, use a dry, lint-free cloth.
5. If the dirt is difficult to remove or if the filter is torn,
replace it. Contact your dealer to obtain a new filter.
6. Snap the filter cover back into place when you're done.
