Maintenance

This chapter provides information on maintenance procedures to ensure the best level of performance from the projector for a long time to come.

Cleaning

94
You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to deteriorate.
Attention
Turn off the projector's power before cleaning.

Cleaning the Projector's Surface

Clean the projector's surface by wiping it gently with a soft cloth.
If the projector is particularly dirty, moisten the cloth with water containing a small amount of neutral detergent, and then firmly wring the cloth dry before using it to wipe the projector's surface.
Attention
Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol, or thinner to clean the projector's surface. The quality of the case may change or become discolored.
Attention
Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks, as it can easily become damaged.

Cleaning the Air Filter

Clean the air filter and the air intake vent when the following message is displayed.
"The projector is overheating. Make sure nothing is blocking the air vent, and clean or replace the air filter."
Attention
Dust collecting on the air filter may cause the internal temperature of the projector to rise, leading to a malfunction or early deterioration of optical parts. Clean the air filter immediately when the message is displayed.
Do not rinse the air filter in water. Do not use detergents or solvents.

Cleaning the Lens

Use a commercially available cloth for cleaning glasses to gently wipe the lens.
Warning
Do not use sprays that contain flammable gas to remove dirt and dust from the lens. The projector may catch fire because of the high temperature of the lamp inside the projector.
Cleaning
a
95
If a message is frequently displayed, even after cleaning, it is time to replace the air filter. Replace it with a new air filter.
s "Replacing the Air Filter" p.99
It is recommended that you clean these parts at least once every three months. Clean them more often than this if using the projector in a particularly dusty environment.

Replacing Consumables

96
This section explains how to replace the lamp and the air filter.

Replacing the Lamp

Lamp replacement period
It is time to replace the lamp when:
The following message is displayed. "It is time to replace your lamp. Please contact your Epson projector
reseller or visit www.epson.com to purchase."
The message is displayed for 30 seconds.
The lamp indicator flashes orange.
Attention
The lamp replacement message is set to appear after the following time periods in order to maintain the initial brightness and quality of the projected images.
EB-435W/EB-430
When Power Consumption is set to Normal: About 3900 hours When Power Consumption is set to ECO: About 5900 hours
EB-425W/EB-420
When Power Consumption is set to Normal: About 4900 hours When Power Consumption is set to ECO: About 5900 hours s Settings - Power Consumption p.63
If you continue to use the lamp after the replacement period has passed, the possibility that the lamp may blow increases. When the lamp replacement message is displayed, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working.
Do not repeatedly turn off the power and immediately back on. Turning the power on and off frequently may shorten the lamp's operating life.
Depending on the individual characteristics of the lamp and the way it has been used, the lamp may become darker or stop working before the message is displayed. You should always have a spare lamp unit ready in case it is needed.
The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
How to replace the lamp
The lamp can be replaced even when the projector is suspended from a wall or ceiling.
Replacing Consumables
Warning
When replacing the lamp because it has stopped working, there is a possibility that the lamp may be cracked.When replacing the lamp of a projector that has been installed on a wall or ceiling, assume that the lamp is cracked and stand to the side of the lamp cover, not underneath it. Also, remove the lamp cover gently.
Never disassemble or modify a lamp. If a modified or disassembled lamp is installed in the projector and used, it could cause a fire, electric shock, or an accident.
Caution
Wait until the lamp has cooled down sufficiently before removing the lamp cover. If the lamp is still hot, burns or other injuries may result. It takes approximately one hour after the power has been turned off for the lamp to sufficiently cool down.
97
a
b
After you turn off the projector's power and the confirmation buzzer beeps twice, disconnect the power cable.
