The filter cover at the back of the appliance can be disassembled by gently pressing the cover at the top of the lid and then pulling out the lid.

The filter replacement period differs for each model according to the manufacturer, ranging from 2-5 months. However, the time it takes to replace the filter depends on:

1/ The type of food waste and its amount of odors.

2/ The frequency of the use of the machine.

If the food waste that needs to be recycled has odors and that you use the machine continuously, the replacement time for the filter will be shorter. In addition, when the filter is no longer able to eliminate odors completely, whether you choose to replace or not replace the filter, it will not affect the operation of the machine. However, it will cause a slight odor affecting your living atmosphere.

The main function of the filter is Deodorizing during the recycling process, so when the filter reaches the end of its life, you will notice a slight sour smell emitted when the machine is in operation. From that point on, the filter is no longer in good condition and should be replaced. You can purchase filters via Hotline 0782.118.226
