How do you properly use a slide/ film projector.?

I've got an old slide projector probably from the 50's and the bulb exploded. I replaced it but I don't want it to happen again. After running a slide show are you supposed to turn the lamp off but leave the fan on or are you supposed to turn it off all the way? I have an old home movie projector too and don't really want to have that light bulb explode either.
Answer:

Lamps need to be given a chance to cool down before being turned off. See the article at the link for all the things you should do to get maximum life out of a projector lamp.

You need to leave the fan running for several minutes after you turn off the lamp. Don't turn the fan off until the air coming out of the projector is no longer warm.
