Using the Charcoal Air Filter
The fan-powered Charcoal Air Filter absorbs and mini-
mizes odor. The degree of odor in the compactor
depends on the type of trash placed in it. The length of
time before the filter needs to be replaced varies with the
type of trash compacted. Under normal use the filter
should be replaced once or twice per year.
