There are two kinds of filters: The oil filter (white filter) prevents release of oil vapor;
the carbon filter (black filter) prevents release of odors. To order additional filters,

After cleaning or replacing the filters, always make sure that the white oil filter rests
on the metal surface below the carbon activated filter.
