Frequently Asked Questions - Navigator Fine 28Z020 Zelmer

How do I fill the water tank?

Ensure the iron is unplugged and cool. Open the water tank cover, fill with clean tap water up to the MAX level, then close the cover securely.

What type of water should I use?

Use ordinary tap water. If the water is very hard, mix with distilled water 50:50. Do not use demineralized water alone, as it may affect steam performance.

How do I use the steam burst function?

Press the steam burst button firmly for a powerful steam jet to remove stubborn wrinkles. Allow at least 5 seconds between bursts.

How do I clean the soleplate?

Unplug and let cool. Wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn residue, use a non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid scouring pads.

Why is my iron not producing steam?

Check that the water tank is filled and the temperature dial is set to steam range. Ensure the steam control is not set to dry iron. If still no steam, descale the iron.

How often should I descale my iron?

Every 1-2 months depending on water hardness. Use the self-cleaning function if available, or apply a descaling agent as per manual.

Does the iron have an auto shut-off?

Yes. The iron automatically turns off if left unattended: after 30 seconds on its soleplate or sideways, and after 8 minutes when upright.

Can I use the iron for vertical steaming?

Yes. Hold the iron upright, activate the steam burst button while keeping the iron away from your body and hanging garments.

What should I do if water drips from the soleplate?

Ensure the temperature is sufficiently high for steam. If still dripping, activate the anti-drip system: set temperature to high and let it heat up. If problem persists, descale.

Where can I purchase spare parts?

Contact an authorized Zelmer service center or check the official website for compatible parts like soleplate, buttons, or cord.

Hints for ironing

1. Sort out the articles to be ironed according to the type of fabric. This will minimize the frequency of temperature adjustment for different garments.
2. Test ironing a small area on the backside or inside the garment if you are unsure about the type of fabric. Start with a low temperature and increase gradually.
3. Wait for about three minutes before ironing heat sensitive fabrics. Temperature adjustment needs certain time to reach the required level no matter it is higher or lower.
4. Delicate fabrics such as silk, wool, velour, etc. are best ironed with an ironing cloth to prevent shine marks.
5. You may need a few times of press to activate the spray, burst and vertically burst function.
6. Read the garment labels and follow the manufacturer's ironing instructions which are often shown by symbols similar to the following:
