no cleaning mode is not in the manual, its a dev mode that puts the console fans at 100% and prevents booting for 10-30sec, it kicks all of the dust out and its loud (its like 2900 xfire 100% fan speed + a few deltas for good measure loud).
u do it by
1) turn the switch off in the back
2) press the eject (console still off)
3) while holding eject flip the switch
4) wait 30sec or so or turn it off and your done
the ps3 has a bad flaw with the HDD being mounted with the sides of the drive on the bracket that mounts to the cell, so bottom of the cell board (were there is no cooling) gets vary hot and can kill the cell. hence the SSD suggestion, or ugly external conversion
