Nettoyage
Précautions pour éviter un incendie ou une
électrocution
1. Une ventilation appropriée doit être assurée afin d’éviter une accumula-
tion de chaleur à l’intérieur du projecteur à écran à cristaux liquides

tenaces, utiliser une solution d’un détergent doux. Ne jamais utiliser de
détergents puissants ou des solvants, tel que l’alcool ou un diluant pour
nettoyer le projecteur à écran à cristaux liquides (LCD).
2. Eviter que des objets étrangers, des agrafes, des clous et du papier, par
exemple, pénètrent à l’intérieur du projecteur à écran à cristaux liquides
(LCD). Ne pas essayer de récupérer ces objets soi-même ou ne pas insérer
des objets métalliques, des fils et des tourne-vis, par exemple à l’intérieur
du projecteur à écran à cristaux liquides (LCD). Si un objet tombe à
l’intérieur du projecteur à écran à cristaux liquides (LCD), le débrancher
immédiatement et contacter un dépanneur qualifié pour retirer l’objet.
3. Utiliser un appareil diffuseur chauffant ou du papier de nettoyage de
lentille disponible dans le commerce pour nettoyer la lentille.
4. Ne pas frapper ou rayer la surface de la lentille, car des défauts risquent de
se produire sur la surface de la lentille.
5. Nettoyer le filtre à air toutes les 100 heures.
a. Nettoyer seulement l’extérieur avec un aspirateur.
