Maintenance and Cleaning

Cleaning the Air Filter

The air filter prevents dust from accumulating on the surface of the optical elements inside the projector. Should the air filter become clogged with dust particles, it will reduce cooling fans’ effectiveness and may result in a buildup of internal heat and adversely affects the life of the projector. Clean the air filter by following the steps below.
