For your safety, this appliance conforms to the applicable standards and regulations (Low Voltage, Electomagnetic Compatibility, Environmental Directives, as applicable...).

Your steam generator is an electrical appliance. It should be used under normal conditions. It is intended for domestic use only.

Your generator is fitted with 2 safety systems:

-a pressure release valve which, in the event of a malfunction, releases any excess steam;

-a thermal fuse to prevent the appliance from overheating.

Always plug your steam generator into:

-an electrical installation with voltage between 230V and 240V.

-an earthed socket.

Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreparable damage to the appliance and will invalidate your guarantee. If you are using a mains extension lead, ensure that it is correctly rated (10A) with an earth, and is fully extended.

Completely unwind the power cord from its storage space before connecting to an earthed socket.

If the electric power cord or the iron-unit is damaged, it must be replaced by an Approved Service Centre in order to prevent any danger.

Do not unplug the appliance by pulling on the cord. Always unplug your appliance:

-before rinsing the anti-scale valve or before filling the water tank,

-before cleaning your generator,

-after each use.

The appliance must be used and placed on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. When you place the iron on the iron rest, make sure that the surface on which you place it is stable.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Never leave the appliance unattended :

-when it is connected to the mains,

-until it has cooled down (around 1 hour).

The soleplate and generator iron-rest can become very hot and cause burns: never touch these parts. Never touch the electric cords with the soleplate of the iron.

Your appliance gives off steam which can cause burns. Handle your iron carefully, particularly when using the vertical steam function. Never direct the steam towards persons or animals.

Before unscrewing the anti-scale valve cap, wait until the generator is cold (unplugged for more than 2 hours).

If you lose or damage the anti-scale valve cap, have it replaced by an approved Service Centre.

Never immerse your steam generator in water or any other liquid. Never hold it under the water tap.

The appliance must not be used if it has fallen to the floor, shows evidence of damage, leaks or fails to function correctly. Never dismantle your appliance. To avoid any danger, have it inspected in an approved service centre.

Tefal GV8430G0, GV8430S0, GV8430C0, GV8430E0 manual Important recommendations, Safety instructions

GV8430G0, GV8430C0, GV8430S0, GV8430E0 specifications

The Tefal GV8430 series includes several innovative steam generators, specifically the GV8430E0, GV8430S0, GV8430C0, and GV8430G0, all designed to simplify the ironing process while delivering professional results. These models incorporate advanced technologies that improve efficiency and ensure garments are cared for during the ironing experience.

A notable feature of the Tefal GV8430 series is the powerful steam output. With a robust steam pressure of up to 6.5 bars, these steam generators produce a continuous steam flow, which helps to penetrate fabrics easily, reducing the time spent on ironing. The high steam output not only smoothens stubborn creases but can also be used for vertical steaming, making them suitable for delicate fabrics and hanging garments.

In addition to steam pressure, the Tefal GV8430 models are equipped with a large water tank capacity, typically around 1.6 liters. This ensures that users can iron for longer periods without frequent refills, enhancing convenience. The high-capacity tanks are also designed for easy filling, allowing users to add water while the device is in use or even when it’s heated.

Another innovative characteristic of the GV8430 models is the automatic shut-off feature, which provides peace of mind by turning off the generator when left unattended. This safety mechanism not only protects the device from overheating but also prolongs its lifespan.

Tefal incorporates a patented Calc Collector technology in these models, which enables easy maintenance by collecting scale particles that accumulate over time. This ensures consistent steam output and prolongs the performance of the steam generator, helping to maintain the quality of ironing over the years.

The GV8430 series also features a smart thermostat, which automatically adjusts the temperature according to the type of fabric selected. This allows users to iron a variety of textiles without worrying about damaging delicate materials.

Overall, the Tefal GV8430E0, GV8430S0, GV8430C0, and GV8430G0 steam generators combine ergonomic design, high-efficiency steam generation, and advanced technology to provide an exceptional ironing experience. Whether tackling everyday laundry or special garments, these steam generators aim to deliver outstanding results with ease, making them a valuable addition to any household.
