IMPORTANT: isolate the projector from the electrical power supply before
commencing maintenance work of any description.
The maximum temperature on the outer surface of the projector under normal ope­rating conditions is 60°C (140° F).
After switching off, do not remove any part of the projector for at least 2 minutes, as
indicated on the lamp change label (1).Once this time has elapsed, the risk of a lamp
exploding is practically zero .If the lamp needs changing, wait a further 15 minutes to
avoid the risk of burns.In the event of a lamp exploding, the projector is designed to
prevent fragments of glass from being scattered.The lenses supplied with the projec­tor must be fitted at all times, and if visibly damaged, must be replaced with genuine
spares.
