Charging
Charge the AirFloss Ultra for 24 hours before rst use.
1 Put the plug of the charger in the electrical outlet.
2 Place the handle on the charger. (Fig. 2)
Charging process: (Fig. 3)
-1 green LED: 33% charged.
-2 green LEDs: 66% charged.
-3 green LEDs: 100% charged.
Note: When it is fully charged, AirFloss Ultra has an operating time of
up to 11 days when it is used in triple burst mode, and up to 33 days
when it is used in single burst mode.
Note: When the charge indicators ash yellow, the battery is low and
needs to be recharged (fewer than 3 uses left).
Preparing for use
1 Align the nozzle and press the nozzle down onto the handle
(‘click’) (Fig. 4).
Note: We advise you to place the tip facing the front of the handle
as the illustration shows, but the nozzle can be placed in the
handle either way without aecting the function. You can try both
options and use what works best for you in your oral care routine.
Note: Replace the nozzle (HX8032, HX8033) every 6 months for
optimal results. Also replace the nozzle if it becomes loose or no
longer ‘clicks’ onto the handle.
Note: The AirFloss Ultra only supports AirFloss Ultra nozzles.
Do not attempt to use non-AirFloss Ultra nozzles on the AirFloss
Ultra handle.
2 Open the cover of the reservoir (‘click’) (Fig. 5).
3 Fill the reservoir with mouthwash or water. (Fig. 6)
Tip: For the best result and a fresher experience, we advise you to
use mouthwash with your AirFloss Ultra.
Note: Do not use mouthwash that contains isopropyl myristate
(e.g. Dentyl Active) or high concentrations of essential oils, as it
may damage the appliance. This includes all mouthwash sold in
glass and ceramic packaging.

4 Close the cover of the reservoir by pressing (‘click’) (Fig. 7).
5 Press the power/mode button to switch on the appliance. (Fig. 8)
The LEDs illuminate.
6 Press and hold the activation button until spray comes out of the
tip of the nozzle. (Fig. 9)
Using the appliance
1 Make sure the AirFloss Ultra is switched on. If it is o, press and
release the power/mode button to switch on the appliance. (Fig. 8)
You can change the modes to have the desired amounts of bursts
each time you press the activation button (Fig. 9). For optimal
results, use the triple burst mode (the default setting) from both
the outside and inside of your teeth.
To change modes, press the power/mode button to cycle through
the modes until you reach your desired mode. The LEDs show the
selected mode:
-Single burst: 1 LED (Fig. 10)
-Double burst: 2 LEDs (Fig. 11)
-Triple burst: 3 LEDs (Fig. 12)
Note: The AirFloss Ultra remembers what mode was selected last
and it is ready for the next use. If your AirFloss Ultra becomes fully
drained of power, it will go back to the triple burst default mode
once it has been recharged.
2 Place the nozzle tip between two teeth at your gum line. Slightly
close your lips over the nozzle when it is in place, to avoid
splashing. (Fig. 13)
3 Press the activation button to deliver 1-3 bursts (depending on the
selected mode) of air and micro-droplets of mouthwash or water
between the teeth. (Fig. 14)
4 Slide the nozzle tip along the gum line until you feel it settle
between the next two teeth.
5 Continue this procedure for all spaces between your teeth,
including behind your back teeth. (Fig. 15)
Note: Rell the reservoir as needed.

AirFloss, ll the reservoir with warm water and press the activation
button until the reservoir is empty.
Do not clean the nozzle, handle or charger in the dishwasher.
Do not use cleaning agents to clean the appliance. The formulation

nozzle after each use to eliminate the residue left in it. (Fig. 16)
2 Open the reservoir and rinse it under a faucet to eliminate residue.
(Fig. 17)
Tip: You can also use a cotton swab to wipe the reservoir and
remove the remaining residue.

Recycling
-Do not throw away the product with the normal household waste
at the end of its life, but hand it in at an ocial collection point for
recycling. By doing this, you help to preserve the environment.
Removing the rechargeable battery
Please note that this process is not reversible.
1 To deplete the battery, repeatedly press the activation button until
the AirFloss no longer produces any bursts of air. (Fig. 20)
2 Remove the AirFloss nozzle from the handle. (Fig. 21)
3 Firmly grab the handle with one hand at the top and one hand on
the bottom. (Fig. 22)
4 Snap the handle into two parts. (Fig. 23)
Note: This step requires a good amount of physical force.
The top and bottom half of the handle should be separated once
you snap the handle.
5 Remove the bottom half of the handle. (Fig. 24)
6 Cut all 6 wires on the internal component with scissors. (Fig. 25)
7 Completely pull apart the internal component from the top part of
the handle. (Fig. 26)
