Air Filter and Vent Maintenance

Regular filter maintenance is important to maintaining your projector.
Clean the air filer when a message appears telling you the temperature
inside the projector has reached a high level. It is recommended that you
clean these parts at least once every three months. Clean them more often
than this if you use the projector in a particularly dusty environment.
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 or lamp.
