Air Filter and Vent Maintenance
160
Regular filter maintenance is important to maintaining your projector. Clean
the air filer 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 10,000
‑
hour* or 6,000
‑
hour* period. Clean them more often than
this if you use the projector in a particularly dusty environment.
* See "Projector Specifications" in the Appendix for the air filter maintenance
period by model.
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.

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:

it.

placed on a table.
