Maintenance
This section describes maintenance tasks such as cleaning the projector and replacing consumable parts.
Cleaning
Cleaning the air filter
When dust builds up on the air filter, or the message "The projector is overheating. Make sure nothing is blocking the air vents, and clean or replace the air filter" is displayed, remove any dust from the air filter using a vaccum cleaner.
cCaution:
If dust collects on the air filter, 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.
Cleaning the main unit
Clean the surface 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’s surface. Then wipe it again with a soft, dry cloth.
cCaution:
Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol, or thinner to clean the projector's surface. These can cause the projector to warp and make the coating finish peel off.
Cleaning the projection lens
Use a commercially available air blower, or use a lens cleaning paper to gently wipe the lens.
cCaution:
Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks, as it can easily become damaged.
