Maintenance
This section describes maintenance tasks such as cleaning the projector and replacing consumable parts.
You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to deteriorate.
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.
Use a commercially-available air blower, or use a lens 
cleaning paper to gently wipe the lens.
Cleaning
Cleaning the Projector Case
Cleaning the Lens
Be sure to read the Safety Instructions in this manual for details on safe 
handling of the projector during cleaning.
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 coating finish 
peel off.
Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks, as it 
can easily become damaged.
