Steam ironing

•Place the iron's temperature control slide according to the type of fabric to be ironed (see table below).

•The thermostat light comes on. Be careful ! The steam generator is ready when the thermostat light goes out and when the green “steam ready” light stays on.

•Adjust the steam output control dial (located on the control panel).

•While ironing, the light on top of the iron and the steam ready light turn on and off, as the temperature adjusts without interrupting ironing.

•To obtain steam, press on the steam control button under the iron handle and keep it pressed – fig.10. The steam will stop when you release the button.

•When starting, and regularly while it is being used, your steam generator's electric pump injects water into the boiler. It makes a noise but this is quite normal. You may also hear a clicking noise which is the steam valve opening. Again this is normal.

•Always spray starch onto the reverse side of the fabric to be ironed.

Do not place the iron on a metal support.When taking a break from ironing, always place the iron on the iron rest plate of the unit. It is equipped with non-slip pads and has been designed to withstand high temperatures. Always use a vented/mesh ironing board and be careful of hot steam when ironing close to the edges of the board.

Vertical steam ironing

•Set the iron temperature control slide and the steam output control dial (located on the control panel) to the MAX position.

•Hang the garment on a coat hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand.

As steam is very hot : never attempt to remove creases from a garment while it is being worn, always hang garments on a coat hanger.

•Holding the iron in a vertical position, tilted slightly forwards, press repeatedly on the steam control button (underneath the iron handle) moving the iron from top to bottom – fig.9.

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.
