CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the LCD Screen 

If the screen is dirty, gently wipe it with the 
included LCD cleaning cloth or a soft, dry cloth. 
Do not use organic solvents or detergents.

Cleaning the Machine Casing 

If the surface of the machine is dirty, lightly soak a 
cloth in a neutral detergent, squeeze it out firmly, 
and then wipe the surface. Then wipe again with a 
dry cloth. 

Cleaning the Race

If dust or bits of dirt collect in the race or bobbin 
case, the machine will not run well, and the 
bobbin thread detection function may not operate. 
Keep the machine clean for best results.

 CAUTION

Note

• Do not wipe the LCD screen with a damp 

cloth.
