Product Maintenance

To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean this product frequently. Usage and 

environment are contributing factors in determining the cleaning frequency. 
Clean this product at least twice a month. Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause 

overheating. This can lead to reduced light source life and increased mechanical wear.
To clean the product:

1.

Unplug the product from power.

2.

Wait until the product is at room temperature.

3.

Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external 

vents.

4.

Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl 

alcohol.

5.

Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.

6.

Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the transparent surface.

7.

Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.

Always dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
