If dirt and hair
get trapped
between the
EPA filter and
the prefilter,
does this
shorten the life
of the EPA filter?

EPA filter?

have to replace
the EPA filter?
Can the
appliance be
used on hard
floors?
Possible cause

Answer
No, not if you clean the prefilter and filter
regularly. Use the cleaning brush to remove larger
particles from between the folds of the EPA filter.
No, the EPA filter cannot be rinsed with tap water.
Use the brush supplied to clean the filter.
Replace the EPA filter every 3 to 5 months,
depending on how often you use the appliance. If
the suction power decreases noticeably, you
have to replace the EPA filter.
Yes, but only in vacuum mode. If you use it on
furniture or hard floors in tapping mode, you may
damage the surface you clean.
