* Do not open the hole cover except when you clean the inside of the projector to prevent foreign matters from getting into the projector. If it is open especially while operating the projector, the optical parts could damage.
Which hole to put the nozzle in? When you look at the screen: When red spots (dust) are particularly noticeable, put the nozzle into the R panel cleaning holes. When green spots (dust) are particularly noticeable, put the nozzle into the G panel cleaning holes. When blue spots (dust) are particularly noticeable, put the nozzle into the B panel cleaning holes.

The nozzle will go no further than a certain point when it is put into the hole. Do not attempt to push the nozzle further in, or it could break and be stuck inside of the projector.
Wave the nozzle back and forth inside of the projector. (Do not attempt to bend the nozzle.)
Use only the supplied blower and nozzle. Do not use a commercially available compressed air duster. It causes the interior of the projector to malfunction with release of cold liquid propellant. We could not guarantee the malfunction of breakage by using other tools.

Cleaning the Air Filters

The air filters prevent dust from accumulating on the surface of the optical elements inside the projector. Should the air filters become clogged with dust particles, it will reduce cooling fans effectiveness and may result in a buildup of internal heat and adversely affect the life of the projector. Clean the air filters by following the steps below.
Cleaning the Air Filter 1 and 2
Press the latch and release it. Take off the filter covers. Do not try to pull the delicate filter part. Pull out the air filters. When taking out the Air Filter 2, put your finger on the air filters tab and pull. Remove dust and dirt with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. Be careful not to damage the air filters and do not clean them with water. When the Air Filter 1 gets dusty and dirty, replace it with a new one. For ordering the replacement filter, contact your sales dealer. Put the air filters back into the position and close the filter covers. Do not push the delicate filter part. Make sure that the air filters are properly and fully inserted.
Air Filter 1 (Intake Vent) Air Filter 2 (Intake Vent)
Do not operate the projector with the air filters removed. Dust may accumulate on the LCD panel degrading the picture quality of the projection mirror. Do not put anything into the air intake vents. It may result in malfunction of the projector.
Press the latch and take off the filter covers.

RECOMMENDATION

We recommend avoiding dusty/smoky environments when operating the projector. Usage in these environment may cause a poor image quality. When using the projector under dusty or smoky conditions, dust may accumulate on a lens, LCD panels, or optical elements inside the projector degrading the quality of a projected image. When the symptoms above are noticed, contact your authorized dealer or service station for proper cleaning.
