note

Standing the projector with the handle at the top prevents dust from getting inside the projector housing.

Cleaning the Projector Case

Before you clean the case, turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.

■To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.

■To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral detergent. Then wipe the case.

■Do not use alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemical detergents. These can cause the case to warp.

Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter

Clean the air filter at the bottom of the projector after every 100 hours of use. If it is not cleaned periodically, it can become clogged with dust, preventing proper ventilation. This can cause overheating and damage the projector. To clean or replace the air filter, follow these steps:

1.Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable.

2.Turn the projector on its side so that the handle is on top and you can access the filter easily.

3.To clean the filter, EPSON recommends using a small vacuum cleaner designed for computers and other office equipment. If you don’t have one, gently clean the filter using a very soft brush (such as an artist’s camel-hair brush).
