Epson projectors are well-known in the projector world and trusted by consumers. This article will introduce you to some important tips for Epson projector maintenance to prolong the lifespan of the device.

Don’t shut down the projector too quickly

When you finish watching the projector, don’t rush to turn it off. Let the fan work for a while to cool down the whole unit, because the working machine is producing much heat, and high temperature will accelerate the failing process of elements. So it’s better to wait for a few more minutes till the projector cools down, then you may turn it off.

Don’t be trigger-happy

Electronic components are usually fragile, turning off and on the projector will create a power surge which tends to make the elements wear out faster, especially the lamp.

Clean the filters

Projectors are all equipped with fans to protect the unit from overheating. Do not place this device in areas susceptible to excessive dust and dirt. The dust attached to the filters will decrease ventilation. Try to clean the filters periodically to keep them from clogging. Epson projectors are featured with filter warning, reminding you to clean or replace the filter in time.

Don’t block the fan vent

No matter where you plan to place or mount your projector, never place the projector in a confined space. Always leave enough space around the unit to create a favorable condition for the cooling system to work, especially make sure don’t block or clog the ventilation openings.

Follow these tips to keep your Epson projector in good condition, and to enjoy a better viewing experience.
