Frequently Asked Questions - Easy Control 28Z023 Zelmer

How do I fill the water tank?

Unplug the iron. Open the water inlet cover, tilt the iron, and pour water into the tank using a measuring cup. Do not exceed the MAX marking.

What type of water should I use?

Use distilled or demineralized water to prevent scale build-up. Tap water can be used but may cause mineral deposits over time.

How do I adjust the temperature?

Rotate the temperature dial to the desired fabric setting. Wait for the indicator light to go out before ironing.

Can I use the steam function without water?

No, never operate the iron without water in the tank when using steam. Dry ironing is possible without water.

What does the anti-drip system do?

The anti-drip system prevents water from leaking out of the soleplate when the iron is too cold, ensuring a clean ironing experience.

How do I use the self-clean function?

Fill the tank to MAX, set the iron to maximum temperature, unplug it, hold it horizontally over a sink, and press the self-clean button until steam and debris are expelled.

Why is my iron not producing steam?

Check if the water tank is full, the temperature is high enough for steam, and the steam control is set to a steam setting. If problem persists, descale the iron.

How do I descale the iron?

Use a descaling solution or a mixture of vinegar and water. Run the self-clean function or follow the manual's descaling instructions.

What is the auto shut-off feature?

The iron automatically turns off if left unattended for 8 minutes on its heel or 30 seconds on its side or flat, for safety.

How do I store the iron after use?

Empty the water tank, allow the iron to cool completely, wrap the cord around the heel, and store it upright in a dry place.
