5) Removing the filter assembly.
Next you will need to remove the filter
assembly. To remove the assembly,
use a coin to loosen the three large-
slotted screws fastening the filter
assembly. When the screws have been
loosened, slide the filter assembly out
to remove it.
• Do not touch the surface of the filter
or try to remove it from the filter
assembly. These actions could
damage the filter. If the filter is damaged, call a service technician to
replace the filter.
WARNING:
DO NOT attempt to remove the assembly until the lamp has fully
cooled down. If you feel any heat near the lamp assembly, STOP the
removal and wait until the lamp has FULLY COOLED.
NEVER attempt to remove the lamp assembly with the television
plugged into a wall outlet.
DO NOT DROP the used lamp. The inside of the lamp is under pres-
sure. Dropping or other hard shock could cause the lamp to shatter.
ALWAYS recycle the used lamp. Because the lamp contains a small
amount of mercury it cannot be thrown out with regular trash. Follow
the recycling instructions included with the replacement lamp.
