Cleaning and Replacing the Air FilterClean the air filter and air intake and exhaust vents on the bottom and rear of the projector after every 100 hours of use. If they are not cleaned periodically, they can become clogged with dust, preventing proper ventilation. This can cause overheating and damage the projector. When the filter and vents are clogged, the projector displays the message The projector is overheated.
To clean the air filter and air vents, follow these steps:
1.Press the P Power button twice to turn off the projector. When you hear the projector beep twice, unplug the power cord.
2.Clean the air vent on the back of the projector.
3.Carefully turn the projector
To clean the filter and air vents, Epson recommends using a small vacuum cleaner designed for computers and other office equipment. If you don’t have one, gently clean them using a very soft brush (such as an artist’s brush).
