Care and Maintenance
Simple sewing machine maintenance operations are described below.
Cleaning the machine surface
If the surface of the machine is dirty, lightly soak a
cloth in neutral detergent, squeeze it out firmly, and
then wipe the surface of the machine. After cleaning
it once with a damp cloth, wipe it again with a dry
cloth.
CAUTION
Cleaning the race
Sewing performance will suffer if dust collects in the
bobbin case, therefore, it should be cleaned
periodically.
Turn off the sewing machine.
Unplug the power cord from the power supply
jack on the right side of the sewing machine.
CAUTION
Remove the flat bed attachment or the
embroidery unit if either is attached.
Grasp both sides of the needle plate cover, and
then slide it toward you.
