SECTION V
Taking Care of Your Machine
Your Elna 6001 has been meticulously designed and
manufactured to give you a lifetime of sewing plea-
sure. Do not store the machine in a high humidity
area, near a heat radiator or in direct sunlight. The
machine is self-lubricating, however, the area around
the bobbin and hook must be cleaned each time the
machine has had extensive use. Do not dismantle
the machine further than explained on these pages.
Clean the outside of the machine with a soft cloth
and pure soap.
Cleaning the Bobbin Area
Loose threads and dust may cause puckered
stitches and thread breakage during stitching. Check
for lint buildup after each project is completed.
Press the key until the needle is raised. Unplug
the machine before cleaning.

plate.
Cleaning the Hook Area and Feed Dog
