Air Filter and Vent Maintenance
Regular filter maintenance is important to maintaining your projector. Clean
the air filter when a message appears telling you the temperature inside the
projector has reached a high level. It is recommended that you clean these
parts over a 6,000‑hour period. Clean them more often than this if you use the
projector in a particularly dusty environment.
Attention
If regular maintenance is not performed, your Epson projector will notify you
when the temperature inside the projector has reached a high level. Do not wait
until this warning appears to maintain your projector filter as prolonged exposure
to high temperatures may reduce the life of your projector or lamp.

Gently remove the dust using a small vacuum designed for computers
or a very soft brush (such as a paintbrush).
You can remove the air filter so that you can clean both sides. Do
not rinse the air filter in water, or use any detergent or solvent to
clean it.

Attention
Do not use canned air. The gases may leave a flammable residue or push
dust and debris into the projector's optics or other sensitive areas.
c
If dust is difficult to remove or the air filter is damaged, replace the air
filter.
Replacing the Air Filter
You need to replace the air filter in the following situations:
• After cleaning the air filter, you see a message telling you to clean or replace
it.
• The air filter is torn or damaged.
You can replace the air filter while the projector is mounted to the ceiling or
placed on a table.
