CORRECT USE O THE PRODUCT
Polti Unico MCV85_Total Clean & Turbo and
MCV80_Total Clean & Turbo are designed for
indoor domestic use for vacuuming up liquids
and dust, removing both dry and/or wet
materials (dirt) from surfaces with the use of
steam as per the descriptions and instructions
given in this manual. Please read these
instructions carefully and keep them. If this
manual is lost, it can be consulted and/or
downloaded from the website www.polti.com.
Only vacuum domestic dirt.
Do not vacuum directly from containers full
of water or other liquids unless carrying out
extraordinary cleaning operations as detailed
in Chapter 22. Only vacuum small quantities
of water spread over surfaces, respecting the
maximum quantity specified in these
instructions for use.
Regularly check the fill level of the dry and
damp dirt collector, ensuring that the
maximum levels are not exceeded (0.8L MAX
level on collector).
Do not use on debris or chalk, cement or
residues from building sites or brick laying.
Do not use on earth and sand/soil, etc.
Do not use on ash, soot and combustion
residues (fireplaces, barbecues, etc.).
Do not use on printer, photocopier or fax
toner and ink powder.
Do not vacuum pointed, sharp or stiff objects.
The steam power of the Polti Unico appliance
gives optimum results right from the first
application. Avoid, therefore, excessive
rubbing of surfaces.
The appliance only functions correctly if the
dirt collector is inserted and complete with all
its parts.
Do not lift the appliance with the telescopic
tube and the brush in the parking position.
Do not lift the product by the dirt collector
handle.
Never leave the appliance exposed to
weathering.
Correct use of the product is only as detailed
in this instruction manual. Any other use may
damage the appliance and invalidate the
warranty.
*Tests carried out by third party and
independent laboratories attest that the Polti
Unico kills and removes 99.99% of virus,
germs and bacteria if used based on the
instructions included in this manual with the
microfiber cloth mounted and for a
continuous operating time of 15 seconds on
the potentially contaminated area.
POLTI S.p.A. reserves the right to make the
aesthetic, technical and construction changes
it deems necessary, without prior notice.
Before leaving our factory all our products
are rigorously tested. Therefore Unico may
contain some residual water in the boiler and
in the tank.
IN ORMATION OR USERS
Pursuant to European Directive 2012/19/EU,
regarding electric and electronic appliances,
this appliance must not be disposed of with
domestic waste, but sent to an official
collection facility. This appliance complies
with EU Directive 2011/65/EU.
The crossed-out bin symbol on the
appliance indicates that, at the end
of its useful lifespan, the product
must be disposed of separately
from other waste. Therefore, at the end of
its life, the user must hand over the
appliance to an appropriate collection
centre for electric and electronic waste or,
according to the legislation in force in the
country, leave the used appliance with the
distributor when buying a new product to
replace it. Proper separate waste
collection to facilitate the subsequent
recycling, treatment and environmentally
compatible disposal of the appliance helps
to prevent negative effects on the
environment and human health, and
promotes recycling of the materials the
product is made of. Unlawful disposal by
the owner involves the application of the
administrative sanctions envisaged by
current legislation.
WHICH WATER TO USE
Polti Unico MCV85_Total Clean & Turbo and
MCV80_Total Clean & Turbo have been
designed to operate with normal tap water
with an average hardness of between 8° and
20° f. If the tap water contains a lot of
calcium carbonate, do not use demineralised
pure water, but use a mix composed of 50%
tap water and 50% demineralised water
available on the market.
Warning: check the hardness of the water at
MAX
0.8 L

ENGLISH
| 36 |
the technical office at your local council or
the local water supplier.
If you only use tap water, you can reduce the
formation of limescale by using the special
Polti Kalstop (PAEU0094) anti-limescale
product, distributed by Polti, and available
for sale at all major domestic-appliance
stores or online at www.polti.com.
Do not use distilled water, undiluted
demineralised water, rain water or water
containing additives (e.g. starch, perfumes),
scented water or water produced by other
domestic appliances, by water softeners and
filter jugs.
Do not add chemical, natural, detergent, or
limescale removing substances, etc.
Clean the boiler as per the instructions in
Chapter 19.
THE UNICO MULTI UNCTION
TRIPLY VACUUM CLEANER
Polti Unico is a powerful multifunction
vacuum cleaner that combines multi-cyclonic
suction technology with the sanitising power
of steam. A single multitasking appliance that
vacuums, sanitises and dries every surface in
the house: floors, carpets, sofas and cushions,
mattresses, mirrors and windows, bathroom
fixtures and hobs. Designed for daily
cleaning, use it as a vacuum cleaner every
day, and as a steam cleaner when you want
to wash and sanitise the entire house.
1. PREPARATION OR SUCTION
UNCTION USE (Chart Page 2)
1.1 Insert the vacuum tube into the body of
the appliance.
1.2 Lock the telescopic tube to the handle and
adjust to the desired height.
1.3 Connect the Multibrush brush to the
telescopic tube.
Tips: To facilitate the following operations,
lock the brush to the parking system.
1.4 Completely unwind the power cable and
connect it to an appropriate mains socket (1).
Always use the product with the cable
completely unwound.
1.5 Switch on the appliance by pressing the
power switch. The indicator light next to it
will come on. The appliance is ready for use.
To start the suction, press the vacuum button
on the control panel (3).
1.6 It is possible to adjust the suction power
by moving the cursor on the handle (4).
2. PREPARATION OR STEAM USE
(Chart Page 2)
2.1 Lock the steam hose to the vacuum tube,
then insert them to the body of the appliance,
making sure that the two connectors at the
ends of the vacuum tube are connected.
Without the steam hose, it is impossible to
activate the steam, even with the boiler
switched on.
2.2 To connect the machine side steam hose,
lower the steam attachment door and insert
the steam connectors, sliding it into position
until you hear a click as it locks into place
(diagram page 2 - ).
2.3 Open the door of the tank and fill it with
water, taking care that it does not overflow
(10). Close the door.
This operation must always be carried out
with the power cable disconnected from the
mains.
Thanks to the self-filling system, it is not
necessary to wait for the appliance to cool
before refilling the boiler with water.
When the water in the water tank runs out,
the “Out of water” indicator light will light up
on the control panel (tap symbol) and you
will hear a beep.
To continue use, it is sufficient to refill the
tank.
2.4 Completely unwind the power cable and
connect it to an appropriate mains socket.
Always use the product with the cable
completely unwound.
2.5 Switch on the appliance by pressing the
power switch (2). The indicator light next to it
will come on. The appliance is ready for use.
To use steam, switch on the boiler by
pressing the ON (12) button and adjust the
steam depending on the surface to be
treated as detailed in Chapter 4.
We recommend using the special push/pull
handle to move the appliance more easily
during cleaning operations (5-6). Do not use
the push/pull handle to lift the appliance.
We recommend using the accessories hol-
der, to be attached to the appliance (7) or
directly to the push/pull handle (8), to have
the accessories close at hand during the
cleaning operations.
WARNING: The level of dirt vacuumed
should not exceed the MAX indicator on the
dirt collector; this indicator refers to both
solid and damp dirt (9). Upon reaching the
maximum level, see Chapter 17.

ENGLISH
| 37 |
2.6 When the boiler is turned on, the steam
indicator light flashes: the boiler is heating
up. When the indicator light is constant, after
around 5 minutes (13) the appliance is ready
for steam function use.
2.7 The handle has a safety button which
prevents involuntary activation and
accidental steam delivery (14). Should the
appliance be left momentarily unguarded
when the appliance is activated, move the
safety button to the “steam lock” position
(14-A). To resume delivery, move the button
to the initial position (14-B) and press the
steam trigger on the handle (15).
3. PREPARATION OR USE O
COMBINED STEAM / SUCTION
UNCTION
The steam and suction functions can be used
at the same time to wash and sanitise the
surfaces and then dry them. or the
combined function, prepare the product as
described in Chapters 1 and 2.
4. STEAM ADJUSTMENT
It is possible to adjust the intensity of the
steam using the +/buttons. (16). Here are
some tips for regulating it:
•Maximum level: for resistant floors and
surfaces, to remove limescale, stains and
grease;
•Medium level: to clean windows, floors and
clean and brighten rugs and carpet;
•Minimum level: to clean parquet and
laminate, delicate fabrics, upholstery, sofas
and mattresses, etc. and to steam plants.
5. MULTIBRUSH
Depending on the surface to be cleaned
(rugs/carpet, parquet and delicate floors,
hard floors and tiles) and the function that
you want to use (suction, steam, steam and
suction at the same time) with or without the
cloth holder, select the most suitable position
(A-B-C) based on the type of cleaning, by
pressing the appropriate pedal:
A - no insert
B - rubber inserts
C - bristle inserts
The specific label present on the appliance
and shown below indicates how best to use
the Multibrush brush based on the type of
surface and cleaning function.
KEY:
SUR ACES
CLEANING UNCTION
During cleaning operations, we recommend
the use of the cloth when you want to wash
and sanitise the floors so that the dirt
loosened by the steam is collected by the
cloth.
The cloth can also be used with the combine
steam / suction function.
In particular for cleaning delicate floors, such
as parquet, the cloth ensures no damage is
made to the surface being treated. If it does
not dry completely because the cloth has
been soaked by the steam, we recommend
going back over the surface with a dry cloth.
2 washable microfibre cloths are included:
We recommend using the special push/pull
handle to move the appliance more easily
during cleaning operations. Do not use the
push/pull handle to lift the appliance.
We recommend using the accessories hol-
der, to be attached to the appliance (7) or
directly to the push/pull handle (8), to have
the accessories close at hand during the
cleaning operations.
WARNING: When first operating steam, the-
