Cleaning the air filter
You need to clean the air filter when dust builds up or
you see the message “The projector is overheating.
Make sure nothing is blocking the air vents, and clean or
replace the air filter.” Use a small vacuum cleaner
designed for computers or other office equipment, as
shown. If you don’t have one, gently clean the filter
using a very soft brush, such as an artist’s paintbrush.

Cleaning the projection lens
Replace the air filter when it gets dirty or broken.
Replace the lamp when you see the message “Replace the lamp” or when the projected image gets darker or starts to
deterioriate.
•
In order to maintain the initial brightness and image quality, the lamp replacement message is displayed after about 1900 hours of use
has passed. The time at which this message is displayed will vary depending on the color mode settings and the conditions under which
this unit has been used.
•
If you continue to use the lamp after this period, the possibility of the lamp breaking becomes greater. When the lamp replacement
message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working.
•
Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and on the way it has been used, the lamp may become darker or stop working before
the lamp warning message appears. You should always have a spare lamp ready in case it is needed (part # V13H010L33).

Contact Epson for a spare lamp.
Maintenance
If dust collects on the air filter, it can cause the internal tem-
perature to rise, and this can lead to problems with operation
and shortening of the optical engine’s service life. It is rec-
ommended that you clean these parts at least once every
three months. Clean them more often than this if using the
MovieMate in particularly dusty environments.
Clean the surface by wiping it gently with a soft cloth.
If MovieMate is particularly dirty, moisten the cloth
with water containing a small amount of neutral deter-
gent, and then wring the cloth nearly dry before using
it. Then wipe MovieMate again with a soft, dry cloth.
Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol, or thinner
to clean MovieMate’s surface. These can cause MovieMate to
warp and make the coating finish peel off. Never spray clean-
ers directly on MovieMate.
Use a cannister of compressed air to remove dust. To
remove dirt or smears, use lens cleaning paper to gently
wipe the lens.
Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to
shocks, as it can easily become damaged.
