Just go to the load filament function. It will pump heated filament through the extruder until you end the sequence. Particularly helpful when you are changing colors, especially from a dark to light color.

Load filament as said should purge some filament also once the hot end is hot forcing it by hand should do so as well.

Don't think he's looking to clear a blockage though.
He just wants to check filament is being extruded properly.

Heat the hot end and while it is hot push the filament through with your hand.

is there any way of getting hot filament from the nozzle. i want to purge filament from the nozzle just to make sure its coming out ok. when i click on clean the nozzle it just warms up and does not put any filament down.
