Keeps fridge odour-free – With activated carbon filtration
Activated carbon adsorbs and traps odour-causing molecules from circulating air inside the fridge. The filter media targets volatile organic compounds responsible for lingering smells.
Neutralises common food odours so stored items retain their natural aroma. Useful for households storing fish, cheese or mixed leftovers.
Improved air circulation – With large, breathable ventilation holes
Design includes 81 large ventilation holes on the top and 22 large holes on the sides to encourage airflow through the filter surface. The pattern is optimised to balance filtration with air movement.
Promotes even air distribution across shelves, helping odour control work throughout the fridge. Particularly helpful in larger or fully stocked refrigerators.
Quick maintenance – With tool-free press-fit installation
Filter replacement requires removing the old unit from the fridge filter system and pressing the new one into place, no tools required. The square two-pack offers two ready-to-fit replacements.
