The filter unit with 2 sheets of filters is inside of the filter cover. In addition, the extra air filter is attached to inner side of the filter cover of 8971, 873W

and 8975WU. If one of the filters is damaged or heavily soiled, replace whole filter set with a new one.

Request for a filter set with the following type number from your dealer when purchasing a new one.

Type number <8970, 8972W, 8976SX, 8974WU0>: MU06642

Type number <8971, 8973W, 8975WU>: UX38241

1. Turn the projector off, and unplug the power cord. Allow the projector to sufficiently cool down.
