Recommended Technique
Lean low over sink and place the tip in mouth. Aim the tip toward teeth, and turn the unit ON (I).
For best results, start with the back teeth and work toward the front teeth. 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. Direct the jet stream at a 90-degree angle to
your gumline. Slightly close lips to avoid splashing but allow water to ow freely from mouth into the sink. Keep unit upright during use
for best results.
When Finished
Turn the unit OFF (0). Empty any liquid le in the reservoir. If desired, the reservoir may be removed from the power handle by pulling the
reservoir release latch while sliding the reservoir down towards the base of the unit.
To replace the reservoir on the power handle, simply slide it up towards the top of the unit. The reservoir will snap into place when fully
engaged.

NOTE: NOT ALL TIPS INCLUDED WITH ALL MODELS.
TIP USAGE
Pik Pocket®Tip
The Pik Pocket® tip is specically 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 so 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 briey 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 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
Never immerse unit in water. Before cleaning, unplug from the electrical outlet. Clean the product when necessary by using a so cloth
and mild non-abrasive cleanser to wipe exterior.
The water reservoir is removable for easy cleaning and is top rack dishwasher safe.
It is recommended that the reservoir is removed and cleaned weekly.
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 1 tablespoon 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.
Battery Care and Disposal
The unit will not charge if the switch is in the ON (I) position. If you use your Water Flosser once a day or less, it is recommended you
charge it overnight, once a week. If you use it twice a day or more, charge the unit more frequently. Do not run the batteries down
completely as this may shorten the lifespan of the batteries and will require charging the unit for 24 hours to obtain a full charge.
If the Water Flosser is to be stored for an extended period of time (six months or more), be sure to fully charge it prior to storage. The
unit contains a Nickel Metal Hydride battery. At the end of the battery life, please recycle the unit at your nearest recycle center per
local or state requirements. The battery is not replaceable.
