Clean the internal parts by running the self-cleaning cycle:
- Plug in the unit (or if already on, make sure it is in standby mode).
- Push the drain plug ﬁ rmly into place, then ﬁ ll the reservoir with clean water to the MAX ﬁ ll line.
- Press the SELECT button until the CLEAN indicator light blinks, then press START-STOP. The cleaning function takes approximately 6–8 minutes total.
