GETTING STARTED
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.
Preparation and Use
Refer to the Quick Start Guide for proper use instructions.
When Finished
Turn the unit OFF (O). Empty any liquid left in the
reservoir. Unplug the unit.
TIP USAGE
Pik PocketTM 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. Turn the
unit on and continue tracing along the gumline.
Tongue Cleaner Tip
To use the tongue cleaner tip, set to
lowest pressure setting, place tip in the
center/middle of your tongue about half
way back and start the Water Flosser.
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.

8
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.
Toothbrush Tip
Place the toothbrush tip
in mouth with the brush
head on the tooth at the
gum line. The toothbrush tip can be used with or without
toothpaste. Turn the Water Flosser on so water flows
through the tip. 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.
