The filter has several purposes including the maintenance of the natural ventilation in the cabinet and also preventing bad odours and insects from entering while ensuring complete darkness.
Combined with a hole to extract air (vent located at the bottom of the cabinet) it ensures a continuous circulation of clean air in the cabinet.
This natural ventilation has a knock-on effect on the humidity levels in the device.
If you notice any odours, mould or labels that are coming off it is highly likely is that this is down to the filter not being replaced.
The filter should be replaced annually.
It must be removed from the front where the diameter is greater. Be careful not to remove the plastic cover at the same time!

3.1 Humidity level is too low:
The humidity fluctuates continuously. Not only do individuals not have the proper equipment at their disposal but with one or more instant temperature measurements it is not possible to determine or validate the average temperature.
Following an instant reading, a user can call to announce an insufficient humidity level (30%).
Is the surface of the bottle dry?
Yes:
The cabinet's atmosphere cannot be dry (due to the presence of water) and this illustrates the difference between the relative air humidity (% indicated by the hygrometer) and the absolute value relating to the number of grams of water in the air.
No:
Check the ambient humidity levels.
If the ambient level is low, a moist sandbox may be placed in the cabinet's tank.
How many readings were taken? With what type of device?
One or two readings a day are not enough (continuous fluctuations)
