Maintenance
This section describes maintenance tasks such as cleaning the projector and
replacing consumable parts.

Cleaning

You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of
projected images starts to deteriorate.
Clean the projector case by wiping it gently with a soft cloth.
If the projector is particularly dirty, moisten the cloth with water
containing a small amount of neutral detergent, and then firmly wring the
cloth dry before using it to wipe the projector case. Then wipe the case
again with a soft, dry cloth.
Use a commercially-available air blower, or use a lens cleaning paper to
gently wipe the lens.
If the air filter becomes clogged with dust, it can cause overheating and
damage the projector.
Turn the projector upside down and use a vacuum cleaner to remove the
dust from the air filter.

Cleaning the Projector Case

CAUTION
Be sure to read the separate Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty
Terms before cleaning.
CAUTION
Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol or thinner to
clean the projector case. These can cause the case to warp and make
the coating finish peel off.

Cleaning the Lens

Cleaning the Air Filter

CAUTION
Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks,
as it can easily become damaged.
TIP
• If the air filter is difficult to clean or if it is broken, it should be
replaced. Contact your dealer for a spare air filter.
• Spare lamps are provided with a spare air filter. The air filter should
also be replaced when the lamp is replaced.
