For my unit there was no need to cut it to size. I just placed them between the intake vents and the paper filters.

If you cut it, it won't work. Just buy the correct size for your unit. It will fit perfectly over the HEPA filter.

I remove the regular filters and put them in the slots where the regular filters go, put it all together and run. Then I throw away the blue spring cleanup filters that are soooooo dirty when it is finished running. Hope this helps.

There are 2 pieces, I was used to 3. I still have to use a very small part of an old filter to fit to the end.

You could but keep in mind it's about 6 inches deep and only 2 inches wide (front to back). I use one of the filters that come with it along with a cut to size filter pad. Not sure how to explain this but there are two "chambers" inside to slide the filter in so whatever you decide to use has to fit in either chamber.

For the pre-filter to fit any model filter it needs to be cut to size. Its a messy job because tiny pieces from the cut spread easily throughout the work area. After gaining some experience, I made a cardboard templet and using the part of the stick on strips provided, glued them on the templet. I next laid the large floppy pre-filter flat on a large work area and placed the templet w/stick on strips facing the pre-filter on top. This firmed up the pre-filter material making it easier to cut a more accurate duplicate. A lot of work but found it necessary because pre-cut to fit pre-filters seem not to be readily available, well not for my older model filter. All said and done, it works. Good luck with your search for a pre-cut to size. Can't find one, hope this info will helps.

Sorry Arthur...I think you're right! I ordered a spare filter back in June and thought nothing of it. Then, I went to change my filter this morning and the one they sent me was wrong. My old filter has an opening on both ends and the new one does not. Plus, the part number is different. Maybe it's a new design but I'm not putting it in until I find out. Thanks for making me aware of this. I wouldn't put your's in either. Please let me know if you find something out from the company.

I have not changed the filter in my units yet. I have cleaned them, meaning I have knocked the dust off them. But I have not replaced them. There is a small somewhat fragile one in there that you want to be careful with as I guess there is no replacement. The other is larger, maybe paper although I don't remember for sure. This is the one I have knocked the dust off.

I have found two methods that work for me: 1. finger pinch - usually works for the first filter, but not so well for the second and 2. (my favorite) thick end of a chopstick or a thick bar stir stick. I always have a few chopsticks sets laying around and I found that thicker end will not poke a hole in your filters. Just push it through one of the top holes and it will push both filters far enough out so that you can grab them with your hands. For the hot second of annoyance that you might feel about needing extra equipment, it is so worth it! The double filter is a life and nose saver. Trust me! On a side note: I recommend that you pick up a extra set of round filters for every square/circle replacement pack you buy. The bottom (round filter) will need to be replaced more often then the top (square) filter. If the bottom filter gets wet accidentally (usually happens when I over fill the bin), it will mold and FAST. Top filter stays pretty dry, so you will not have to change it as often. Hope this helps and happy composting!

Gee I'm not sure is there a holder for filters inside the unit? if so you could try one and see if it fits otherwise I would contact Cuisinart to find out what works.

Contact John Chen at, sales@ispringfilters.com. He can give you exact items needed. They also sell filter supplies for this unit and can answer any tech questions you may have. I rate them 5 stars, higher if there was such a thing I've been their customer for 3 years and have had this system and have had excellent service from them.

Yes this is a Universal cut to fit pre-filter. You will cut the material to fit your specific filter. It will work with your unit.

You should probably call the manufacturer. A quick search of Adorama and B&H; does not reveal the answer (both sites carry this filter).

Cone shaped filters are the only ones that will work correctly. Check the Chemex site for the correct size.

I was a little confused initially too. If you look inside the spout, there are two grooves on either side. You just slide the filter in straight down, point-side down & it fits into the grooves.

From what I understand you can use either filter in the unit. I love mine. I'm using the one that came with it currently, but then bought the better filter in a six pack at Costco.

Cut them, if its the ones under filter. Then you have the locks that snap in.
