Maintenance

How do you clean the machine?

The hook should be regularly cleaned of lint and thread remnants and lubricated with sewing machine oil (not included! Do not use regular cooking oil!). It is important to maintain the machine regularly to ensure a long service life.

The LCD display and the surface of the machine should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, a damp cloth with a little neutral detergent can be used.
