Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter
Clean the air filter at the bottom of the projector after every
100 hours of use. If it is not cleaned periodically, it can
become clogged with dust, preventing proper ventilation. This
can cause overheating and damage the projector.
Follow these steps:
1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable.
2. Turn the projector on its side so that the handle is on top
and you can access the filter easily.
Note: Standing the projector with the handle at the top
prevents dust from getting inside the projector housing.
3. To clean the filter, EPSON recommends using a small
vacuum cleaner designed for computers and other office
equipment. If you don't have one, use a dry, lint-free cloth.
If the dirt is difficult to remove or if the filter is torn, replace
it.
Note: When you get a replacement lamp for your projector, a
new air filter is included. You should replace the filter when
you replace the lamp.
4. If you need to replace the filter, pull up on the tab to release
the filter and remove it.

Replacing the Lamp
The projection lamp typically lasts for about 2000 hours of
use. It is time to replace the lamp when:
The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
The lamp light is flashing red or orange.
The message
LAMP REPLACE
the projection lamp comes on (after about 1900 hours). To
maintain the projector brightness and image quality, replace
the lamp as soon as possible.
Warning: Let the lamp cool before replacing it. Also, do not touch
the glass portion of the lamp assembly. Touching the glass portion
of the lamp will result in premature lamp failure.
1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable.
2. Allow the projector to cool down for at least an hour (if it
has been on).
3. Use a screwdriver to loosen the two retaining screws on the
lamp cover. When the screws are loose, lift off the lamp
cover. (You cannot remove these screws from the cover.)
