Follow these steps to clean the vent:
1. Turn off the projector, let it cool down, and unplug the
power cord.
2. Stand the projector on its back panel with the lens pointing

vacuum cleaner designed for computers and other office
equipment. If you don't have one, use a dry, lint-free cloth.
If the dirt is difficult to remove, you may need to have the air
intake vent replaced. Use the EPSON PrivateLine

dial (562) 276-4394 (U.S.) or (905) 709-3839 (Canada). Toll
or long distances charges may apply.
