Cleaning the Machine Exterior
To keep your sewing machine operating well, clean it often.
No lubrication (oiling) is needed.
Wipe the exterior surface of your machine with a soft cloth
to remove any dust or lint built up.
Wipe the screen with a clean, soft and slightly damp
microfiber cloth.
Removing the Needle Plate and
Cleaning the Bobbin Area
Lower the feed teeth by touching the presser foot up and extra
lift button. Turn off the machine.
Remove the presser foot. Open the bobbin cover by pushing
the release button (A) to the right. Remove the cover. Place
the universal tool under the needle plate as shown and gently
turn the universal tool to pop off the needle plate. Clean the
feed teeth with the brush that is included with the accessories.
Cleaning Under the Bobbin Area
Clean the area under the bobbin case after sewing several
projects or any time you notice an accumulation of lint in the
bobbin case area.
Remove the bobbin case holder (A) covering the front part
of the bobbin case by lifting it up. Remove the bobbin case
(B) by lifting it up. Clean with the brush.
Use caution when cleaning around the automatic thread
cutter knife (C).
Put the bobbin case and the bobbin case holder back in place.
Note: Do not blow air into the bobbin case area. The dust and lint will
be blown into your machine.
Note: When using optional accessories like cutwork andor felting needles,
it is necessary to clean the bobbin area after each embroidered design/
project.
Note: Regularly clean the lint and threads from the bobbin area. Check
the area when changing the needle plate.

With feed teeth lowered, position the needle plate so that it
fits into the notches at the back (D). Press the needle plate
down until it clicks into place. Replace the bobbin cover.
