473 mL

56L9-E

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock due to internal componet damage, use only BISSELL cleaning formula intended for use with the hard floor cleaner.

Dry vacuuming

With the dry vacuum side of the unit facing forward, turn the unit on and begin cleaning.

You will see dry dirt, crumbs and debris being collected in the dirty tank. You do not have to empty the dry debris before wet cleaning.

Tip:

When plugging the unit in, make sure to hook the power cord into the Cord Clip. This will help guide the power cord when you flip from Dry to Wet Cleaning.

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.

Tip:

Use only specially formulated BISSELL Hard Floor Solutions. Non-BISSELL cleaning formulas may harm the machine and void the warranty.

Operation

Flipping from dry to wet cleaning

To change from dry vacuuming, to wet cleaning simply flip the unit around to the wet vacuum side!

The Gentle Clean™ Brush or Pad and squeegee will automatically be lowered to effectively clean and dry all your hard floor surfaces.

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.

To maximize the area to be cleaned, it is recommended that the spray trigger is squeezed on the forward stroke and released on the rearward stroke.

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.

Caution:

Do not over wet the floor. Apply formula by depressing the spray trigger on the forward stroke only and release the spray trigger on the rearward stroke. Over wetting the floor surface may cause delamination of certain laminated flooring materials.

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.

Emptying the dirty tank

Remove the dirty tank lid. 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.

Tip:

To extend the life of your filter and to maintain maximum

dry suction, check the filter for lint and debris frequently.

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 onto the floor.

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.

Tip:

If there are large pieces of debris in the water, you may not want to empty the tank into your sink.

Maintenance and care

Checking the filter

While the dirty tank is out of the unit, remove the 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.

The pleated filter can also be rinsed under water to clean.

NOTE: If the pleated filter is rinsed with warm water to clean, it is recommended to leave it out of the unit to air dry before

placing it back in the unit.

Cleaning the Gentle Clean™ brush or pad

Gentle Clean™ Brush

Remove the Gentle Clean brush from the unit and rinse under warm water.

Gentle Clean™ Pad

Remove the Gentle Clean pad card from the unit. Peel the pad from the pad card and toss in

the wash!

Removing wet cleaning nozzle

To replace the wet Cleaning nozzle, insert the 4 tabs along the bottom of the nozzle window first and gently snap the wet cleaning nozzle back into place.

Storing the Flip-It

Your Flip-It can be stored ready-to-use, by leaving water and formula in the unit. Be sure to remove wet Gentle Clean™ pad before storing.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury unplug from outlet before servicing.
