Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter

An air filter is installed in the air intake vent on the bottom of the main body to protect the
internal lens and mirror from dust. Should the air filter become clogged with dust, the pro-
jector may be damaged since it will block the air flow into the projector and raises the
internal temperature of the projector.
• The main unit is very hot immediately after turning off the projector. Wait until the projector
cools down sufficiently (more than 1 hour) before cleaning the projector. Otherwise, you may
get burned or injured.
Caution
• Before cleaning or replacing the air filter, be sure to remove the power plug from the AC out-
let. Otherwise, electric shock or fire may result.
• Do not insert any object into the projector through the air filter opening. You may suffer elec-
tric shock or injury due to the high-voltage parts or rotating parts.

■Cleaning the Air Filter

Turn the projector upside down, remove the cover by pushing the latch, remove the air fil-
ter, and clean it with a vacuum cleaner.
• Clean the air filter frequently.
