Charging Unit Prior to First Use
Plug the power supply into the wall outlet and connect the magnetic plug to the
unit (see image) for approximately 4.5-5 hours. The charge indicator on the unit
will glow while charging and then begin to ash momentarily every 3 seconds when
the unit is fully charged. A full charge will last for approximately 4 weeks when unit
is used once a day for one minute a day. When the batteries are in need of charging
(approximately 30% charge le) the charge indicator light will blink 3 times quickly to
indicate that the user should consider recharging the unit. A complete recharge will
take 4.5-5 hours. If you use your Water Flosser once a day or less, it is recommended
that you charge it every 3-4 weeks. If you use it twice a day or more, charge the unit
more frequently.
Preparing the Reservoir
Remove the reservoir, li the reservoir lid, and ll with warm water. Fill with warm
water. Replace the reservoir over the base and press down rmly and close the lid.
Inserting and Removing Tips
Insert tip into the center of the Water Flosser handle, pressing down rmly until the
tip clicks into place. The colored ring will be ush with the top of the handle if the tip
is correctly locked into place. To remove tip from the handle slide the tip eject button
on the handle.
Prime Unit (First Time Use Only)
Set pressure control on base to high (pressure setting No.10), point the handle and
tip into sink. Turn power and water ON until water ows from the tip.
Adjusting the Pressure Setting
Set the pressure control on the base of the unit to the lowest setting (pressure
setting No.1) for rst-time use. Gradually increase pressure over time to the setting
you prefer – or as instructed by your dental professional.
Using the Water Flosser
Always place the tip in your mouth before turning the unit power ON. With
water switch on handle in OFF position, turn power on. Lean over sink and slightly
close lips enough to prevent splashing while still allowing water to ow
from mouth into the sink. Turn water switch ON. When nished, turn water
switch and power OFF. During use you can stop the ow of water by sliding the
water switch on handle to the OFF position.
NOTE: Motor will continue to run.

For best results, start with back teeth and work toward the front teeth. Direct
the stream at a 90-degree angle to your gumline with tip in mouth. Glide tip along
gumline and pause briey between teeth. Continue until you have cleaned the inside
and outside of both the upper and lower teeth.
One-Minute Timer/30-second Pacer
The Water Flosser will create a short pause at 30-seconds, to remind you to move
to the other arch of your mouth and another short pause at 1-minute to signal you
have reached the recommended cleaning time. The unit will continue to run without
pauses until the unit is turned o. Depending on the pressure setting, some water
will remain in the reservoir aer 1-minute.
When Finished
Turn the power OFF. Empty any liquid le in the reservoir.
NOTE: If you used mouthwash or other solution besides water, see “Using
Mouthwash and Other Solutions” section.

CLEANING AND TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR WATERPIK®WATER FLOSSER
Implant Denture Tip
The Implant Denture tip is specically designed to access areas that are unreachable
with a Classic Jet tip, Plaque Seeker™ tip, Orthodontic tip, or Pik Pocket™ tip. To use
the Implant Denture tip, place the tip on the lingual side at one end of the implant
retained denture. The opening of the tip is directed between the natural gum tissue
and the denture directing the water under the denture. Slowly glide the tip along
the space between the natural gum tissue and the denture until you have cleaned
underneath the entire length of the denture.
Plaque Seeker™ Tip
To use the Plaque Seeker™ tip, place the tip close to the teeth so that the bristles are
gently touching the teeth. Gently glide tip along gumline, pausing briey between
teeth to gently brush and allow the water to ow between the teeth.
Using Mouthwash and Other Solutions
Your Waterpik®Water Flosser can be used to deliver mouthwash and antibacterial
solutions. Aer using any special solution, rinse unit to prevent clogging by partially
lling reservoir with warm water and running unit with tip pointed into sink until
unit is empty.
Cleaning
Before cleaning, disconnect power supply/charger cord. Clean the product when
necessary by using a so cloth and mild non-abrasive cleanser.
The water reservoir is removable for easy cleaning and is top rack dishwasher safe.
Removing Hard Water Deposits / General Cleaning
Hard water deposits may build up in your unit, depending on the mineral content
of your water. If le unattended, it can hinder performance. Cleaning internal
parts: add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar to a full reservoir of warm water. Point
the handle and tip into sink. Turn unit ON and run until reservoir is empty. Rinse by
repeating with a full reservoir of clean warm water.
This process should be done every 1 to 3 months to ensure optimal performance.

If leaking due to a damaged hose, replacement hoses and handles can be purchased
at www.waterpik.com or contact Water Pik Inc. customer service for a self service
repair kit.
