Specialized Cleaning Features
Included with the purchase of your Flip It are the following Specialized Cleaning Accessories…
The Flip-It was designed to give the user the ability to easily change between the Gentle
Clean™ Brushes and Pads.
1.
The Gentle Clean ™ Brush is recommended for use on Hard Floor surfaces such as tile, vinyl, slate or surfaces that have grout or crevices where dirt and grime collect.
2.
The Gentle Clean™ Pad is intended for use on more delicate surfaces such as sealed hardwood, laminates or vinyl.
WARNING:
Do Not plug in your cleaner until you have completely assembled it per the following instructions and operating procedures.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, use only BISSELL Hard and Wood Floor Cleaning
Solutions in your Flip-It.
Use of cleaning formulas which contain lemon or pine oil may damage this appliance and void the warranty. Chemical spot cleaners or solvent based soil removers should not be used.

How To Use Your Flip-It Hard Floor Cleaner
Getting Ready
1.
Remove the Clean Tank from the machine.
2.
Unscrew the Black cap on the bottom of the solution tank and remove the insert.
Tip:
When using a
Dry Gentle Clean™
Pad, you may want to get it slightly damp by squeezing the trigger to saturate the pad. This will aid in the flow of water and formula to clean sticky grime and spots.
3.
Filling the Clean Tank:
Fill with BISSELL Formula to the Formula fill line and fill with Water to the Water Line. Replace the Valve and Cap Assembly. Place the full tank back into the unit.
Inserting The Gentle Clean™ Brush or Pad
The first time you use your unit, the Gentle Clean™
Pad will be in the unit. Based on your flooring type and personal preference, you may want to change to the Gentle Clean™ Brush.

Floor Cleaning Solutions on hand so you can clean when it fits your schedule. Always use genuine
BISSELL cleaning formulas.

Flipping from Dry to Wet Cleaning
To change from dry vacuuming, to wet cleaning simply flip the unit around!
The Gentle Clean™ Brush or Pad and Squeegee will automatically be lowered to effectively clean and Dry all your Hard Floor Surfaces.
Tip:
To extend the life of your filter and to maintain maximum dry suction, check the filter for lint and debris frequently

Wet Cleaning/Vacuuming
To begin Wet Cleaning, simply pull the Spray
Trigger. Water and Formula will be dispensed through the Gentle Clean™ Brush or Pad.

Do not over wet the floor. Apply solution by depressing the trigger on the forward stroke only and release the trigger on the rearward stroke. Over wetting the floor surface may cause delamination of certain laminated flooring materials.
This will dispense water and formula going forward and on the pull back, the squeegee will leave the floor essentially dry and ready to walk on.
Tip:
To make sure water and formula are flowing, squeeze the Spray Trigger without the Gentle Clean™
Brush or Pad Inserted. You should see a light stream of water and formula dispensed unto the floor.
Dirty Tank Is Full
While Wet Cleaning, you will see dirty water collected in the Dirty Tank. When the Tank is full, the white Float in the Dirty Tank will rise to the top, making a noticeable sound to let you know it is time to empty the Dirty Tank.
Tip:
While using the Flip-It in the
Wet Cleaning mode, make sure to listen for the change in the sound to alert you when the Dirty Tank is full.
When You're Finished
Emptying the Dirty Tank
Remove the Dirty Tank Lid. Then dump the dirty water and debris into the sink, toilet, laundry tub or outside. Rinse the tank out with warm water and replace it in the unit.

Pleated Filter from the top of the tank. Remove dirt and debris from the pleats by gently tapping the filter over the wastebasket or outside.
Remove dirt and debris from the pleats by gently tapping the filter over the wastebasket or outside. The Pleated
