Cleaning the Filters

Filter prevents dust from accumulating on the optical elements inside the projector. Should the filters become clogged with dust particles, it will reduce cooling fans’ effectiveness and may result in internal heat buildup and adversely affect the life of the projector.

from the AC outlet.

CAUTION

Do not put anything into the air vents. Doing so may result in malfunction of the projector.
