How do I clean the air filter on my Panasonic PT-52LCX65 television?

I own a Panasonic PT-LCX65 television. A blue screen appeard on the television screen that stated something about cleaning the air filter then powered off. The temp light is currenly flashing. How do I clean the air filter and where is it located on the television.

Answer:
IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY...

The Panasonic air filter is located BEHIND the removable Front Panel..it pops off and you should see it located in a "screwed in" panel.

But, it MAY be located on the BACK or side..LOOK for a Grille with a grey or black foam piece. IF you don't find it behind or beside the TV, then pull off the Front panel.

Now, those foam filters can be removed from the grille-plate to be washed...the best way to wash it is to PUSH the dust out of the filter by turning the Clean-side of the filter TOWARDs your water source (the faucet or the Much-preferred Kitchen Sprayer).Now get that DUST OUT!
Once finished cleaning just shake all the water out of the foam panel. Snap it just like you're snapping somebody's azz with a towel. Still Moist? Don't worry, the plenum on the TV is pretty long and "moisturized air" won't hurt the bulb...

Reassemble it...

And DO NOT let that filter go that long between Cleanings!! It EXTENDS the life of the bulb when maintained regularly.
