  service 

technician. Replacing with anything other than the specified part can 
damage your unit and will void your manufactures warranty.

Warning: 

If  you  continue  to  blow  lamps  or  fuses,  STOP  using  the 

unit. Contact customer support for further instructions, you may have 
to return the unit for servicing. Continuing to use the unit may cause 
serious damage.

Lamp Replacement:

 

Caution!  Never  attempt  to  change  the  lamp 

while  the  fixture  is  plugged  in.  Always  disconnect  the  main  power 
and allow the unit ample time to cool before attempting to replace the 
lamp. Lamp replacement has been made simple by incorporating the 
a slide out lamp assembly that is retained by two phillips screws.
1.   Be sure to follow the proper handling procedures that deal with  
 

discharge lamps.

2.   Remove the two small screws (A,B) on the rear of the unit 
3.   After removing the screws, gently slide out the socket assembly  
      from the rear of the unit to expose the lamp.
4.  Carefully remove the old lamp and discard it in the trash.
5.  Replace the lamp with an exact match and reassemble in reverse  
 

order.

6.  After replacing the lamp follow the optimization procedures on the
