Is there a sensor cleaning setting or do we rely on the camera simply being on?

Cleaning procedure
This is from the M mount manual (if you don't have that...?):
Cleaning the sensor unit
Follow the steps outlined below to clean the sensor.
1 Turn on the power.
2 Slide the POWER switch to OFF while pushing the [picture of flower] button.
• Turn off power with the shutter left open.
3 Clean the unit using a blower from a camera supply store.
4 Once done cleaning, turn the power on and then off again.
Caution-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Do not touch the sensor or shutter.
• The color may fade if the sensor is subjected to intense light for long
periods of time. Do not let the camera sit with the shutter open.
• When the [Shutter Initial Sel.] in the setup menu is set to [OPEN], the
shutter remains open when the power is turned off.
• Do not use a spray blower with this device.
• Do not insert the nozzle of the blower inside past the mount.
• Damages during cleaning will not be covered by warranty.
Be careful not to damage the device while cleaning it.
