How to clean lenses
Some lenses have special coatings that are sensitive to solvents,
grease, liquid and mechanical abrasion. Take extra care when cleaning
lenses with these coatings.
Lens assemblies consisting of several lenses are not normally sealed.
Therefore, use as little alcohol as possible, as it can get between the
lenses and in doing so can change the properties of projection.

1 Clean the lens by rubbing a new, dry cotton swab over the surface
using a small circular movement.
