Tablet Loading
Insert tablet into water flosser handle by pressing the flip top button at top of
handle. Insert tablet into opening and close flip top by clicking it securely into
place on handle.
NOTE: Do NOT place tablet in reservoir.
Use one tablet daily to remove stains from hard to reach areas, between teeth,
and at the gumline, that other products miss.
Adjusting the Pressure Setting
Turn the pressure control dial on the base of the unit to the lowest setting
(pressure setting No.1) for first-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 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 flow from mouth into the sink. Turn water
switch ON. When finished, turn water switch and power OFF.
During use you can stop the flow of water by sliding the water switch on
handle to the OFF position.
NOTE: Motor will continue to run.
Recommended Technique
For best results, start with front teeth and work toward the back teeth. Direct the
stream at a 90-degree angle to your gumline with tip in mouth. Glide tip along
gumline and pause briefly between teeth. Continue until you have cleaned the
inside and outside of both the upper and lower teeth.

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 off. Depending on the pressure
setting, some water will remain in the reservoir after 1-minute.

to enhance gum stimulation. For best results, use the Floss Mode as
instructed. After using Floss Mode for 1-minute, switch the unit to Massage
Mode, adjust pressure as desired, and aim the water stream at your gums
and massage throughout your mouth.
To determine in which mode the unit is set while it is off simply press mode
button and the LED light will indicate current mode. To change mode, press
mode button again. You may also press the mode button while unit is on to
change mode during use.
