Cleaning the Projector Case
Before you clean the case, first turn off the projector and unplug the 
power cord. 
■
To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, dry, lint-free 
cloth. 
■
To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water 
and a neutral detergent. Then wipe the case. 
■
Do not use alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemical 
detergents. These can cause the case to warp.
Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter
Clean the air filter at the bottom of the projector after every 100 hours 
of use. If it is not cleaned periodically, it can become clogged with 
dust, preventing proper ventilation. This can cause overheating and 
damage the projector. To clean or replace the air filter, follow these 
steps:
1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable.
2. Turn the projector on its side so that the handle is on top and you
can access the filter easily.
3. To clean the filter, EPSON recommends using a small vacuum
cleaner designed for computers and other office equipment. If you 
don’t have one, use a dry, lint-free cloth. 
note
Standing the projector with 
the handle at the top prevents 
dust from getting inside the 
projector housing.
