C. The machine undertakes the cleaning cycles;
the LEDs of the buttons will be switched on from
left to right until all LEDs are on.
 At the end of the cleaning operation the machine
waits and the LED of button C starts to blink fast,
all other LEDS are now off.
Remove the filter holder, take out the blind filter
disk and mount the filter holder again.

the rinsing phase by pressing the button C twice, we
highly recommend not using this function in order
to perform the cleaning process in the given and
proven way.
