Keep these considerations in mind as you select a projector location:
• Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface or install it using a compatible mount.
• Leave plenty of space around and under the projector for ventilation, and do not place it on top of or
next to anything that could block the vents.
• Position the projector within 6 feet (2 m) of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.

Projector Maintenance
Your projector needs little maintenance to keep working at its best.
You may need to clean the lens periodically, and clean the air filter and air vents to prevent the projector
from overheating due to blocked ventilation.
The only parts you should replace are the lamp, air filter, and remote control batteries. If any other part
needs replacing, contact Epson or an authorized Epson servicer.
Warning: Before cleaning any part of the projector, turn it off and unplug the power cord. Never open
any cover on the projector, except as specifically explained in this manual. Dangerous electrical voltages
in the projector can injure you severely.
Warning: Do not try to service this product yourself, except as specifically explained in this manual.
Refer all other servicing to qualified servicers.

Cleaning the Lens
Clean the projector's lens periodically, or whenever you notice dust or smudges on the surface.
• To remove dust or smudges, gently wipe the lens with lens-cleaning paper.

• To remove stubborn smudges, moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with lens cleaner and gently wipe the
lens. Do not spray any liquid directly on the lens.
Warning: Do not use a lens cleaner that contains flammable gas. The high heat generated by the
projector lamp may cause a fire.
Caution: Do not use glass cleaner to clean the lens, or you may damage it. Do not use canned air, or
the gases may leave a residue. Avoid touching the lens with your bare hands to prevent fingerprints on
or damage to the lens surface.

air filter or vents, clean them as described in this manual. Dust clogs may cause the projector to overheat
due to improper ventilation.

blocks the vents.
