Particulate matter of 10um (PM10) and smaller 2,5 um (PM2.5) can get into the lungs and belongs to the top 10 threats to human health. These small particles develop through typical indoor processes such as cooking, baking, frying, smoking, as well as heating or are also transported in big quantities into indoor air because of transportation, industry, construction, biological material (pollen, bacteria, mites, and viruses), imported particles from other regains such as (airplane) exhaust gases and volcano eruptions.
Allergens such as pollen and dust cause serious and long-term health threats to millions of persons each spring: the numbers are increasing constantly.

Filter cleaning
The best effect is reached by cleaning the filters once a month. If indoor air
is extremely polluted, more cleaning can be required.
Clean the Pre-filter and the HEPA filter with a brush or your vacuum cleaner.
That way bigger dust particles like lint, hair, and dander of pets can be
removed from the filter.
Warning! Do never wet or rinse the filter with water.
Signs for used-up filters
Increased sound, reduced airflow, congested filters, and rising presence of
smells. The filter needs to be replaced by a new one when the HEPA filter
changes its color from white to grey or black. If the HEPA filter remains
white, there is NO need to replace the filter.
