Cleaning The Air Filter - Sanyo PLV-Z3000 Service Manual

Cleaning the Air Filters
The air filters prevent dust from accumulating on the surface of the optical elements inside the projector. Should the air
filters become clogged with dust particles, it will reduce cooling fans' effectiveness and may result in a buildup of internal
heat and adversely affect the life of the projector. Clean the air filters by following the steps below.
1
Press the latch and release it. Take off the filter cover.
2
Pull out the air filter.
When taking out the air filter, put your fingers on the air filter's
tabs and pull. Do not try to pull the delicate filter part.
3
Remove dust and dirt with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. Be
careful not to damage the air filter and do not clean it with water.
When the air filter gets dusty and dirty, replace it with a new one.
For ordering the replacement filter, contact your sales dealer.
4
Put the air filter back into the position. Do not push the delicate
filter part. Make sure that the air filter is properly and fully
inserted.
5
Close the filter cover.
6
Reset the filter counter .
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend avoiding dusty/smoky environments when operating
the projector. Usage in these environment may cause a poor image
quality.
When using the projector under dusty or smoky conditions, dust
may accumulate on a lens, LCD panels, or optical elements inside the
projector degrading the quality of a projected image.
When the symptoms above are noticed, contact your authorized dealer
or service station for proper cleaning.

intake vents. It may result in malfunction of the projector.

filter, make sure that the
arrows on the filter are facing
