How to clean your projector
Follow these maintenance instructions for safe, efficient cleaning of your projector. Be sure your projector
is unplugged and cool before performing any maintenance on it.
1. Clean the projector housing with a clean, soft cloth and glass cleaner.
2. Inspect the gate for cleanliness. If the gate area is dirty use a brush and compressed air to clean it.
3. If the gate rails are dirty or have a white powder coating, slides may not fall properly. Spray a cotton
swab with glass cleaner and gently scrub the rails to remove the powder buildup. Use a dry cotton
swab to remove excess cleaner.
CAUTION: When cleaning gate rails do not bend the pressure pad.
4. Loss of illumination can be caused by a dirty mirror, condenser lens, or projection lens. Remove the
lamp module. Clean the mirror using lens cleaner or clear water, and a soft lint-free cloth or lens
tissue. Do not wipe the mirror with a dry cloth.
5. Clean the condenser lens with lens cleaner or water and a lint-free cloth or lens tissue.
6. Clean the projection lens with lens cleaner or clear water. Do not clean the lens with a dry cloth.
7. Keep the air exhaust grille clean. Use compressed air and a brush to remove dirt. Inspect this area
often! If it appears dirty, your projector may require professional cleaning* and should be taken to an
Authorized Kodak Repair Shop.
