CLEANING

CAUTION

Disconnect the power cord from the wall socket before cleaning, otherwise injury or electric shocks may result.

Cleaning the screen

If the front panel is dirty, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use any organic solvents or detergents.

Cleaning the sewing machine surface

If the surface of the sewing machine is dirty, lightly soak a cloth in neutral detergent, squeeze it out firmly and then wipe the surface. After cleaning it once in this way, wipe it again with a dry cloth.

Cleaning the shuttle

Sewing performance will be affected and bobbin thread detection will become unreliable if dust collects in the shuttle. It should be kept clean at all times.
