Problem With Clean Indicator On The Kcm111ob 12cup Coffee Maker

The clean indicator light won't go out.  Manual says to press Mode button, I do that, but it immediately takes me to adjusting clock, and the various other settings that occur before Clean mode.  Coffee maker has been cleaned, descaled, etc.  I just can't get the Clean indicator to go away, as instructed by Manual.  I have even unplugged it from power source in hopes it would reset. Suggestions, advice, something?
