4.
Switch on heating element 1 and 2 (fig. 2 A and B). Five minutes later switch on the iron
(fig. 2 C) and adjust the thermostat (fig. 5) on “cotton”.
N.B.
in case you don’t need too much steam, it is possible to switch on just A element; on
the contrary, when you need more steam, switch on also B (fig. 2).
5.
Wait for the boiler lamp to switch off (fig. 2 D). Seize the iron by cork handle and press red
button 3 or 4 times (fig. 6), so that steam comes out. It is important to make sure it is a
saturated steam (by pressing the micro switch with the iron pointed downwards). You can
adjust steam flux by turning the hand-wheel placed on the solenoid valve (fig. 3). Now
everything is ready for ironing. During ironing operation, the boiler lamp switches on and
off (fig. 2 D).

COMPULSORY
1.
Use only normal water coming from the aqueduct.
2.
Never add additives to water.
3.
Empty the boiler only when the pressure does not overcome 0 BAR
(fig. 2 B), taking care to open the exhaust tap slowly (fig. 7). For
carrying out this operation, wear gauntlets against possible burns.
4.
Never replace the security valve plug (fig. 3) with other
types of plug. N.B. the security valve plug is set on 4,5 BAR
and it has the function of a security valve.
5.
Connect MINI 5 to suitable protected socket.
6.
Always keep children away from MINI 5, both when it is on and off.
7.
Do not iron garments directly on persons or things.

IRONING OPERATION
1.
Run the iron on garments, pressing the iron micro switch for steam. For a better result, set
the thermostat (fig. 5) on “cotton”.
2.
For delicate, blue and black garments, we advise you to use the anti-sheen shoe.
3.
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.
4.
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 “flax”.
5.
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).
