- Lens: Gently clean the projector lens with a lens cleaning cloth or lens paper. Avoid using abrasive materials or excessive pressure, which can scratch the lens.
- Air Vents: Periodically check and clean the air vents to ensure proper airflow and prevent overheating. Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust.
