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 the projected image starts to deteriorate.

Be sure to read Important Safety Instructions in this chapter before cleaning.

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.

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 finish peel off.

Cleaning the Lens and EPSON Cinema Filter

Use a commercially-available low-velocity air blower, or use lens cleaning paper to gently wipe the lens and the cinema filter.

Do not rub the lens or the EPSON cinema filter with harsh materials or subject them to shocks, as they can easily become damaged.

Cleaning the Air Filter

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.

• If the air filter is difficult to clean or broken, you should replace it. Contact your dealer for a new air filter.

• The air filter should be replaced when the lamp is replaced.
