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.

case, the machine will not run well, and the
bobbin thread detection function may not operate.
