Activated carbon absorbs smells during the process, and when the capacity is used up after approximately 500 cycle hours, typically every three to four months, the filter light signals that it's time to refill. The unit continues to function technically without replacing the carbon, but without activated carbon you can tell, or rather you can smell it in the general aroma of the kitchen.
Refilling is simple: put the old carbon in the compost, add new carbon, replace the container. Fits both Eco 3 and Eco 5. One bag contains exactly the right amount for one filter.
