This section describes maintenance tasks such as cleaning the projector and replacing consumable parts.
Cleaning the air filter and air 
intake vent
When dust builds up on the air filter or the air intake 
vent, 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 and the air intake vent using a vacuum 
cleaner.
Cleaning the main unit
Cleaning the projection lens
Maintenance
If dust collects on the air filter or the air intake vent 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.
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.
Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol, or thinner 
to clean the projectors surface. These can cause the projector 
to warp and make the coating finish peel off.
Use a commercially available cloth for cleaning glasses 
to gently wipe the lens.
Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to 
shocks, as it can easily become damaged.

replacement message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working.
•Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and on the way it has been used, the lamp may become darker or stop 
working before the lamp warning message appears. You should always have a spare lamp ready in case it is needed.
