Re the light:
When the «cartridge» light starts flashing, the remaining fluid in the cartridge is sufficient for approximately 5 more cleaning cycles. After these 5 cycles, the cleaning performance will be reduced and the cartridge has to be replaced.
When the «cartridge» light illuminates constantly, the cleaning function is locked and a new cartridge has to be installed.
Only then, the next cleaning cycle can be started.
