Cleaning and replacing the air filter
Please check and clean the air filter periodically. When the indicators or a message prompts you to clean the air filter, comply with it as soon as possible. The projector air filter consists of a filter cover and a filter unit with two types of filter material. If one or both of the filters are damaged or heavily soiled, replace the filter unit with a new one.
When purchasing a new filter, ask for the following part number from your dealer.
