If it says "Clean Cell Now" and it is a new machine, it is broken. I have six, yes six, of this model. They are all new and you shouldn't have to clean the filter/cells for a few months.

The way to clean is:

1. Unplug
2. remove the white cover
3. remove the prefilter. Good time to clean the prefilter by removing the 2 retention clips and gently swing the prefilter outward. Clean or groom it with a vacuum. Use the upholstery brush. wash the prefilter in warm, soapy water. No Chlorine! Rinse clean with regular water. Wipe with a paper towel and let dry completely. It is okay to gently use a hair blower to speed up the drying process.
4. Onto the Cell.
5. The cell can be washed one of two ways. Either in a hot tub of water or in a dishwasher.
6. Wear gloves to protect your hands. Never touch the fins or wires. It will ruin them and cut you up. Use the two handles.
7. Use hot water and dish detergent.
8. No chlorine and no abrasives.
9. Soak for 10 minutes, then dip a couple of times to remove stuck dust/dirt/schmutz.
10. Rinse with clean water.
11. Allow to dry
12. Allow to dry
13. Allow to dry
14. Okay to use a hair dryer to speed up process.
15. Reinstall
16. Power up
17. Press and hold CHECK button for 3 secs to reset.

Thanks.
