The Pro Express + GV8460G0 features 5.5 bar pressure, one of the
highest on the market, which provides 120g/minute continuous steam, and
220 g/minute Turbo steam.
A steam generator is the most powerful
type of ironing solution available. The appliances work by generating
steam in a separate boiler unit and pumping it through the iron's
soleplate into the clothes. The extra pressurised steam, pumping
continuously through fabric, means steam generators cut ironing time in
half compared to conventional steam irons. The pressure is measured in
bars, the higher the pressure, the deeper the steam penetrates into the
fabric, leading to a better result. The steam generator's steam output
is indicated in grams per minute (g/min), so the higher the output, the
more steam is generated. Like all Tefal's steam generators, the
GV8460G0 features the unique anti-calc collector to keep the appliance
scale-free. The water across much of the UK is very hard, and scale can
build up and affect the performance of appliances. To combat the
problem, Tefal has developed technology which changes the scale inside
the boiler unit of the steam generator into a solid form, which is
collected at the side of the generator for easy disposal. The steam
generator has a corrosion-free boiler and is anti-drip for added ease of
cleaning. The GV8460G0 also features Tefal’s unique Palladium
Autoclean soleplate, designed to resist scratches. The soleplate
offers superior long-lasting performance by destroying fibres from
fabrics which can stick to the face of the iron and damage its
glideability. The system uses catalytic oxidation as the iron heats up
to transform the fibres, which can cause marks on your fabric, into gas
and steam. All Tefal’s steam generators offer a fast two minute
heat–up, so they are ready to use when you are. The GV8460G0 is also
environmentally friendly, boasting an Eco setting, which saves 20%
energy. The GV8460G0 has a vertical steam function, ideal for getting
creases out of suits or other hanging garments. It can also be used to
de-crease curtains. Safety is a key priority. The GV8460G0 has an auto
off feature, which ensures the appliance switches itself off after eight
minutes if left on its heel and 30 seconds if left on its soleplate. A
special lock system enables safe handling and storage of the steam
generator. It has Tefal’s ultracord system, which prevents the cord
rucking up and getting in the way of your ironing. To keep the cord
away from your hand and the clothes you are ironing the Pro Express
GV8460G0 is equipped with the Tefal’s unique ultra cord system. Extra
safety is also guaranteed with the lock system which also gives you the
possibility to carry your steam generator by the handle just with one
hand.
To add to all of this,
the GV8460G0 is also an environmently friendly product with an “Eco”
setting that saves 20% of energy. Ultimately, as a leader in the steam
generator’s market, Tefal makes sure you enjoy high quality ironing
products with features that make your life easier.
About Tefal Tefal
owes its origins to Frenchman Marc Grégoire, an engineer and keen
fisherman. Monsieur Grégoire wanted the reel on his rod to run more
smoothly, and experimented in the 1950s to see if a non-stick coating
would work. It did, but it was his wife Collette who made the real
breakthrough, suggesting the coating would be more useful in making
cookware easier to use and clean. Now, Tefal is the number one name in
non-stick products and small appliances, operating in more than 120
countries. Tefal remains committed to making household tasks easier and
cooking results better, through a constant flow of new ideas, technology
and innovation. Examples of that cutting-edge innovation can be seen in
the ActiFry, the AirBake baking range and Tefal's unique Thermo Spot,
which ensures your pans are always the perfect temperature to start
cooking.
