Cleaning The Machine - Viking Designer Ruby User Manual

CLEANING THE MACHINE

To keep your sewing machine operating well, clean it often.
No lubrication (oiling) is needed.
Wipe the exterior surface of your machine with a soft cloth
to remove any dust or lint built up.
Wipe the screen with a clean, soft and damp cloth.
Cleaning the Bobbin Area
Note: Lower the feed teeth by pressing Presser Foot Up and
Extra Lift. Turn off the machine.
Remove the presser foot and slide off the bobbin cover.
Place the screwdriver under the needle plate as shown in
the picture and gently turn the screwdriver to pop off the
needle plate. Clean the feed teeth with the brush found
with the accessories.
Cleaning under the Bobbin Area
Clean the area under the bobbin case after sewing several
projects or any time you notice an accumulation of lint in
the bobbin case area.
Remove the bobbin case holder (A) covering the front part
of the bobbin case by lifting it up. Remove the bobbin case
(B) by lifting it up. Clean with the brush.
Note: Use caution when cleaning around the Selective Thread
Cutter knife (C).
Put the bobbin case and the bobbin case holder back in
place.
Note: Do not blow air into the bobbin case area. The dust and lint
will be blown into your machine.
Note: When using the optional accessory HUSQVARNA
VIKING® Embroidery Cutwork Needles, it is neccessary to clean
the bobbin area after each embroidered design/project.
Replacing the Needle Plate
With feed teeth lowered, place the needle plate so that it ts
into the notch at the back (D). Press the needle plate down
until it clicks into place. Slide on bobbin cover.
