The Bofa AD1000 extraction that was supplied with the machine was also inspected. the Main Filter was dated December 2021 and the pre-filter was dated July 2022. The pre-filter was showing that the unit was full on the display. No noticable smell was coming out of the rear of the extraction unit.
It was recommended to change the pre-filter unit ASAP and would recommend to replace the main filter as the active carbon maybe depleted.
