Product overview

The Philips EasySpeed GC1742/46 is a 2000W steam iron for regular household laundry. It combines continuous steam, a concentrated boost, a non-stick soleplate and a 220ml water tank to handle school uniforms, workwear, cotton garments and household linen.

The pointed Triple Precision tip, button groove and shaped nose help the soleplate reach around buttons, pleats, collars and narrow garment sections that are difficult to cover with the widest part of an iron.

Continuous steam and steam boost

Continuous steam of up to 25g/min supports routine crease removal, while the boost of up to 90g is intended for thicker folds and stubborn areas. Steam should be used only after the soleplate reaches a suitable temperature; repeated boosting at low heat can cause water droplets.

Non-stick soleplate

The coated soleplate is designed to glide smoothly across compatible fabrics. Keep it clean and avoid metal zips, sharp fasteners and abrasive pads that can scratch the surface. Follow garment-care labels and begin with low-temperature fabrics.

220ml water tank and spray

The 220ml tank reduces refill frequency during normal ironing. The integrated spray applies a fine mist to dry creases before the soleplate passes over them. Do not add perfume, starch or other chemicals to the water tank.

Calc Clean maintenance

The built-in Calc Clean slider helps flush mineral deposits from the steam chamber. Philips recommends regular use—particularly with normal tap water—to maintain steam flow. Follow the exact manual and perform the process over a sink after the iron has been prepared correctly.

Safety and storage

Never leave a connected iron unattended. Keep it upright during pauses, protect the cord from the hot soleplate and empty remaining water where recommended. Store only after it has cooled completely.
