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.

CAUTION

Be sure to read the separate Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms before cleaning.

Cleaning the Air Filters and Air Intake Vent

If dust collects on the air filter or the air outlet, it can cause the internal temperature of the projector to rise, and this can lead to problems with operation and shortening of the optical engine's service life.

It is recommended that you clean these parts at least once every three months. Clean them more often than this if using the projector in particularly dusty environments.

•Air intake vents in rear, side and base of projector

Turn the projector upside-down and use a vacuum cleaner to clean the air intake vent.

Cleaning the Projector Case

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.

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

Use a commercially-available air blower, or use lens cleaning paper to clean the lens.

CAUTION

Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks, as it can easily become damaged.
