more frequently.

Recommended Technique
Lean low over sink and place tip in mouth. Aim the tip toward gumline, 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 o. Empty any liquid le in the reservoir.
If desired, the reservoir may be removed from the power handle by sliding the reservoir release latch to the unlock position(1) and then
sliding the reservoir down towards the base of the unit(2).

TIP USAGE

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

Increase pressure as you prefer.

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.

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.
