BERNINA SEWING MACHINE WORKBOOK
One of the most important parts of maintaining your machine is proper cleaning and oiling. Below are tips to fol-
low, but more complete instructions for your specic model can be found in your machine's manual.
It is recommended that you clean and oil every other bobbin, or every 3-4 hours of actual sewing time. If you
notice your machine sounding louder than usual, then it is time to clean and oil.
General Cleaning Steps
• Remove the needle. (It is recommended that you change your needle every 4-6 hours of sewing time.
• Remove the stitch plate and remove all lint and threads, using the brush and/or the tweezers included with your
machine.
• Clean the Thread Cutter (see below).
• Dust the lower thread indicator using the brush (on bobbin door).
• Remove the bobbin and clean and oil the bobbin area.
BERNINA has cleaning and oiling tutorials built into
the Setup menu.
NOTE: The B 435 has only an oiling tutorial.
To access the tutorials, select the Setup icon >Machine
Settings>Cleaning/Update.
Choose either the cleaning menu or the oiling menu
and follow the steps shown. The menu may contain
more than one page. Scroll with your ngertips or the

On those machines that have a Thread Cutter/Catcher,
keeping the Thread Cutter clean and free of lint and
thread tails is vital to the maintenance of the machine.
The Thread Cutter needs to be cleaned frequently.
The Thread Cutter menu is interactive. Selecting the
move the thread catcher out link on the screen will
move the cutter to the right so that lint and threads
can be removed with a pair of tweezers. Selecting the
