This is a programme mode but just can't put my finger on it this second. It isn't actually a fault. Try holding your finger on the on / off switch for 5 seconds.
You have entered a programming mode. BTW, the light is a time activated thing. There is no sensor for blocked filters. It is just there to remind people that don't bother clean them regularly. Try holding the on / off button in for 5 seconds. With out knowing what you actually did, it is a bit of a trial.
