by the steam pressure.
For this surface, set the steam to the
minimum level.
Connect the suction nozzle to the
concentrator accessory and activate the
suction function to vacuum the removed dirt
remained on the floor.
14.3 TAKING CARE OF PLANTS AND
HUMIDIFYING ROOMS
To care for your house plants, remove the
dust from the leaves by steaming them
directly from the handle. Adjust the steam to
the minimum level and vacuum at a distance
of 50 cm. Plants breathe better and will be
cleaner and brighter. Furthermore, you can
also use the steam to refresh spaces,
especially those frequented by smokers.
15. OUT OF WATER
When the tank is out of water, the indicator
light on the control panel (tap symbol) will
turn on and you will hear a beep. To continue
with steam cleaning, simply open the tank
door and add water (10).
16. GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Ensure that the appliance is switched off and
disconnected from the mains (24).
To clean the outside of the appliance, only
use a damp cloth and tap water.
All accessories can be cleaned using running
water, ensuring they are completely dry
before the next use.
Do not use detergents of any type.
The cloths provided can be washed by
following the instructions included on the
label.
17. CLEANING THE DIRT
COLLECTOR
(ordinary maintenance)
17.1 Ensure that the appliance is switched off
and disconnected from the mains (24).
17.2 Disconnect the dirt collector and remove
it (25).
17.3 Hold the upper handle and turn

upwards and empty the collector into an
appropriate container (26-27).
17.5 Wash the collector and the filter unit
using running water only (26-27). Shake to

recommended in particular if liquids are
vacuumed and/or the appliance has been
used in combined steam / vacuum mode to
dry the surfaces.
17.6 Reassemble all the parts following the
procedure in reverse order (30). The UNICO
filter unit does not need to be dried; it is
ready for use immediately, avoiding
unnecessary waiting time. However, before
replacing, we advise quickly drying the filter
and the collector with a cloth to avoid
unpleasant odours forming.
Empty the dirt collector each time the MAX
level is reached and after every use.
We recommend emptying the collector after
every use, before storing the appliance to
avoid unpleasant odours forming.

away from direct light and heat for at least 24
hours (40).

To vacuum surfaces it is not necessary to fill
the tank, simply turn the boiler off.

collector (usually due to detergent being
present on the surface), immediately empty
and clean fully as detailed in Chapters 17, 18
