Mode Description
JET mode
•
This mode is for removing food
particles trapped between the teeth.
AIRIN(REGULAR)mode
• This mode is for periodontal pocket
cleaning and gum care.
AIRIN(SOFT)mode
• This mode is for gently massaging
the gums.
Notes
• When you use the appliance for the rst time,
press the power switch to turn the appliance on
and test each of the water jet modes with the
tank lled with water.
• The appliance may not operate in an ambient
temperature approximately 5 °C or lower.
• Do not hold the tip of the nozzle rmly against
the teeth or gums.
• Since plaque adhering to the surface of teeth
cannot be removed only with water ow,
brushing is always necessary. It is
recommended to clean inside your mouth with
water ow after brushing your teeth.
• Do not operate the main unit when empty other
than when pouring out any remaining water
after use. Operating the main unit without water
may result in a malfunction.

English
►Cleaning the space between the teeth
In the JET mode
• Direct the water ow onto the
zone between the teeth.
• Direct from the front and rear
sides of the teeth.
►Periodontal pocket cleaning
IntheAIRIN(REGULAR)mode
• Aim the water ow at the space
between the teeth and gum.
• Slowly shift the water ow along
the gum.
•
Clean the front and back of the
teeth and behind the molars as well.
• Clean the areas of concern in the
gum in the AIR IN (SOFT) mode.
*
Do not clean the periodontal
pocket in JET mode, since the
strength of water ow is too strong.
►Gum care
IntheAIRIN(REGULAR)mode
• Stimulate the gum.
• Gently stimulate the areas of
concern in the gum in the AIR IN
(SOFT) mode.
After use
1.Open the water tank cap and
discard the water.
