The Singer Compact Steam Press CSP1 does not mention needing oiling in the provided information.
To fix a difficult-to-open cover, check for the following: - You may have missed a small screw; re-read the removal instructions carefully. - If the cover separates from the top and shows white crusting (mineral buildup from steam), brush the area using straight vinegar and a stiff plastic or natural bristle brush to remove the buildup.
If this does not work, further disassembly or professional support may be needed.
