Powering the Unit
Plug the cord into an electrical outlet. If the outlet is controlled by a wall
switch, be sure it is turned on.
Preparing the Reservoir
Lift the reservoir lid, remove the reservoir, and fill with lukewarm water. Replace
the reservoir over the base and press down firmly and close the lid.
Inserting and Removing Tips
Insert tip into the center of the Water Flosser handle, pressing down firmly
until the tip clicks into place. The colored ring will be flush with the top of
the handle if the tip is correctly locked into place. To remove tip from the
handle push the tip eject button on the handle.
Prime Unit (First Time Use Only)
Set pressure control dial on base to high (pressure setting No. 10), point
the handle and tip into sink. Turn unit ON (I) until water flows from the tip.
Turn unit OFF (O).
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.
Recommended Technique
For best results, start with the back teeth and work toward the front teeth.
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.
Lean over sink. Direct the stream at a 90-degree angle to your gumline with
tip in mouth. Slightly close lips to avoid splashing, but allow water to
flow freely from mouth. Set pressure at desired setting and turn the unit ON
(I). Begin cleaning.
When Finished
Turn the unit OFF (O). Empty any liquid left in the reservoir. Unplug the unit.
NOTE: If you used mouthwash or other solution besides water, see “Using
Mouthwash and Other Solutions” section.

NOTE: NOT ALL TIPS INCLUDED WITH ALL MODELS.
TIP USAGE
Pik Pocket® Tip
The Pik Pocket®tip is specifically designed to deliver water or anti-
bacterial solutions deep into periodontal pockets.
To use the Pik Pocket®tip, set the unit to the lowest pressure setting.
Place the soft tip against a tooth at a 45-degree angle and gently place the
tip under the gumline, into the pocket.
Tongue Cleaner Tip
Set to lowest pressure setting, place tip in the center/middle of your tongue
about half way back. Pull forward with light pressure. Increase pressure as
you prefer.
Orthodontic Tip
To use the orthodontic tip, gently glide tip along gumline, pausing briefly to
lightly brush area between teeth and all around orthodontic bracket, before
proceeding to the next tooth.
Toothbrush Tip
Place the toothbrush tip in mouth with the brush head on the tooth at the
gumline. The toothbrush tip can be used with or without toothpaste. Using
a light pressure (bristles should not bend) massage the brush back
and forth with very short strokes – much like you would with a manual
toothbrush.
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 briefly between teeth to gently brush and allow the water to flow
between the teeth.

Using Mouthwash and Other Solutions
Your Waterpik®Water Flosser can be used to deliver mouthwash and
antibacterial solutions. After using any special solution, rinse unit to
prevent clogging by partially filling reservoir with warm water and running
unit with tip pointed into sink until unit is empty.
Cleaning
Before cleaning, unplug from the electrical outlet. Clean the product when
necessary by using a soft cloth and mild non-abrasive cleanser. The water
reservoir is removable for easy cleaning and is top rack dishwasher safe.
NOTE: Remove reservoir valve before placing reservoir in dishwasher.
Removing Hard Water Deposits / General Cleaning
Hard water deposits may build up in your unit, depending on the mineral content of
your water. If left 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.
Leakage
If leaking due to a damaged hose, replacement hoses and handles can be
purchased from your local distributor, which can be found at
www.waterpik.com/intl.
If leakage occurs from the reservoir, ensure the valve is right side up or
contact your local distributor for a replacement valve.
