CLEANING METHODS
Before cleaning, ensure that the power socket is unplugged. Do not use pesticides or other volatile chemicals on the projector or lens, and avoid leaving rubber or vinyl products in contact with the projector for extended periods of time, as this may damage or peel off the remaining layers.

- Use a soft and dry cotton cloth to wipe the surface of the projector.
- Dampen a soft cotton cloth with a diluted neutral cleaner, and gently wipe the projector surface. Dry with a dry cotton cloth.
- Do not use water, benzene, or other solvents on the projector.
- Do not scratch the main body of the projector with fingernails or other hard objects.
Cleaning the lens:
- Blow off the dust on the lens surface, and wipe off any stains with a soft cloth.
- Use a professional dryer or lens cleaning paper specifically for camera and glasses.
REMARKS: Do not use ordinary tissue to clean the lens. Ordinary tissue contains large particles of impurities that may scratch the lens.
Cleaning the outlet dust filter:
Turn off the power and unplug the power cord before cleaning the outlet dust filter of vents every three months. This will prevent poor ventilation from triggering the projector LCD panel and COB protection mechanism.
