GETTING STARTED

Preparing the Reservoir

Replace the reservoir over the base and press down
Inserting and Removing Tips

ENGLISH
Adjusting the Pressure Setting
Slide the pressure control switch located on the
handle to the lowest setting (away from the tip
as far as possible) for use. Gradually
increase pressure over time to the setting
you prefer – or as instructed by your dental
professional.
Placement in Mouth
Lean low over sink and place the jet tip in
mouth. Aim the tip toward teeth.
With your free hand, slide the on/off switch on
the base of the unit to the “up” position. Set
pressure at desired setting.
Direct the stream by turning the knob at the top
of the handle.

10
Recommended Technique
Direct the jet stream at a 90-degree angle to
your gumline. Close lips to avoid splashing
but allow water to flow freely from mouth into
the sink. For best results, start in the molar
area (back teeth) working toward the front teeth.
Glide jet tip along gumline and pause
between teeth. Continue until all areas around
and between the teeth have been cleaned.
Pause Control
You can temporarily stop the flow any time by
pressing the pause button on the handle.
When Finished

TIP USAGE
Pik PocketTM Tip
The Pik PocketTM Tip is specifically designed to deliver water or anti-
bacterial solutions deep into periodontal pockets. It is not intended for
general use.
To use the Pik PocketTM Tip, lean low over your sink and place the soft tip
against a tooth at a 45-degree angle and gently place the tip under the
gumline, into the pocket. Turn the unit on to the lowest pressure setting
and clean by gently following gumline, inserting tip in between teeth.
Continue tracing along the gumline until all areas of the mouth are clean.
Tongue Cleaner Tip
Lean over the sink. Place the tongue cleaner on your tongue and start the
Water Flosser – use the lowest pressure setting, increase as comfortable.
Gently place the tongue cleaner in the center/midline of your tongue about
half way back and with light pressure pull forward.
Replacement tips/attachments
may be purchased directly from
the local distributor.
NOTE: This tip must be used only with the Pressure Control set to the
lowest setting. Use on a higher setting will shorten life of tip and handle.

GETTING STARTED
Using Mouthwash and Other Solutions
Your Waterpik®Water Flosser can be used to deliver mouthwash and
antibacterial solutions. Ask your dental professional to recommend the
appropriate solution for you. Note: use of some antibacterial solutions could
shorten the life of your Waterpik®Water Flosser.
After using any special solution in the reservoir, take a moment after every
use to rinse the unit. Partially the reservoir with warm tap water. Aim the
tip into your sink. Turn on the unit and let it run until empty. This will help
keep the tip from clogging and help your unit to last longer.
