Before installing MINI 5, it is necessary to set up the following facilities:
electrical plug protected and suitable to MINI 5 power (it is better to use
an earth protector magnetothermic switch 16 A ld 30mA).
2. a steady and plane surface
where to put the machine.
For the transport and the displacement,
take the generator only by the handle,
never pull its electric wires (fig. 1).

COMPULSORY
Open the box containing MINI 5, take the instruction manual and read it carefully.
Remove MINI 5 from the box, insert the cable support deep into the
special support holder (fig. 1) placed on the back side of the generator.
Fix iron cable to the support hook (avoid twining).
For MINI 5 supplied with trolley: screw the trolley knob on
the proper connection under the base of the machine .
With MINI 5 switched off and disconnected plug:
1. Unscrew the security valve plug (fig. 3), fill the
boiler with water (fig. 3) till overflow or at
pleasure. Take the plug by the plastic part and
screw it again: do not tighten too much or its
gasket might get spoilt.
Insert the plug into a 220 V 16 A socket.
Switch on the boiler (fig. 2 A), the iron (fig. 2 B)
and adjust the thermostat (fig. 5) on “cotton”.
Wait for the boiler lamp to switch off (fig. 2 C).
At this point seize the iron by cork handle and
press red button 3 or 4 times (fig. 6), so that
steam comes out: this operation must be carried
out in order to heat up the tubes which take
steam to the iron. In this way you prevent also
the falling of small drops of water on garments.
To adjust steam flow, you must work on the hand-
wheel for steam adjustment (fig. 3). During
ironing operation, the boiler lamp switches on and
off (fig. 2 C).

Use only normal water coming from the aqueduct.
Never add additives to water.
Empty the boiler only when it is switched off and cold (with no
pressure) less than 0,5 Bar (fig.2 E). For carrying out this operation,
wear gloves against possible burns.

Never replace the security valve plug (fig.3) with other types of plug. P.S.
the security valve plug is set on 4,5 BAR and it has the function of a security valve.
Connect MINI 5 to suitable protected socket.
Always keep children away from MINI 5, both when it is on and off.
Do not iron garments directly on persons or things.
Do not empty the boiler during the ironing operation,
wait at least 1 hour after the switching off.
Do not leave hot iron on garments or on the board.

Run the iron on garments, pressing the iron microswitch (fig. 6) for steam. For a better
result, set the thermostat (fig. 5) on “cotton”.
For delicate, blue and black garments, we advise you to use the anti-shine shoe.
During ironing operation, always put the iron on its rubber rest (fig. 1) and pay
attention to the position of the wires: if they twine or get in touch with ironing board, they
might cause short circuits.
For dry ironing it is possible to adjust the thermostat (fig. 5) on different positions
according to the type of fabric (look at garment label). For steam ironing set the
thermostat on “cotton” or “linen”.
If you work on a non-vacuum board, some circular water spots might form because of
condensed steam. To get round this problem, put a felt under the usual padding and
adjust the hand-wheel for steam regulation on minimum (fig. 3).

Do not leave hot iron on garments or on the board.
Put the trolley on a steady surface and next to the ironing
board. Do not pull the iron cable too hard or the trolley
might be overturned.

COMPULSORY PERIODICAL MAINTENANCE
During the ironing, if steam flow decreases considerably and then ends definitely, it means
that there is no more water in the boiler. So MINI 5 has to be switched off by disconnecting
the plug; rotate the valve plug (fig. 3) of 360° and wait for steam to go out completely.
Unscrew the valve plug with care and wait some minutes. Then fill the boiler with water
(fig. 3). Screw the valve plug again, connect the plug and wait for the boiler lamp to switch
off (fig. 2 C). Now the iron is ready again.
ATTENTION: MINI 5 must always be on horizontal position.
Carry out this operation when the machine
is off and the plug disconnected: unscrew
the valve plug and rotate MINI 5 rightwards
so that water and possible impurities come
out.
MINI 5 was designed for the ironing of domestic garments and tailor shop. It can
be used maximum 20 hrs. per week or 80 hrs. per month (subdivided in many times).
1. Empty the boiler every 20 hrs. of ironing.
2. Replace the gasket of security valve plug (use only original gaskets) every 1200 hrs. of
lighting or maximum 2 years. For carrying out this operation, the machine has to be
switched off and cold.
3. Replace the security valve plug every 2500 hrs. of working or maximum 3 years (fig.
3). For carrying out this operation, the machine has to be switched off and cold.
(To be carried out exclusively by Assistance Centres or by the Manufacturer)
It is needed to replace:
1. the internal security valve every 1400 hrs. of ironing or maximum 3 years;
2. the internal thermostat every 1400 hrs. of ironing or maximum 3 years;
3. steam tube and iron cable once they seem spoilt (fig. 3).
It is recommended also to clean the boiler from limestone every 1400 hrs. of
ironing or maximum 3 years.
