Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter
Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter
Clean the air filter on the bottom of the projector after every 100 hours of use. If it’s not 
cleaned periodically, it can become clogged with dust, preventing proper ventilation. This can 
cause overheating and damage the projector.
1. Turn off the projector and wait for the P power light to stop flashing.
2. Unplug the power cord and disconnect any cables.
3. Turn the projector over. Then use a small vacuum
cleaner designed for computers and other office 
equipment to clean the filter, as shown. If you don’t have 
one, gently clean the filter using a very soft brush (such 
as a clean artist’s paintbrush).
If the dirt is difficult to remove or the filter is broken, 
replace it. Contact your dealer or call EPSON at 
(800) 873-7766 and ask for part number 
V13H134A04
.
In Canada, call (800) 463-7766 for dealer referral.
4. If you need to replace the filter, release the tab and lift
the cover up.
5. Remove the old filter and replace it with a new one.
6. To replace the cover, insert the tabs and press down until the cover clicks into place.
