Adjusting the Pressure Setting
You can adjust the pressure setting on your Water
Flosser by sliding pressure control on the handle.
Start with the lowest setting and increase to
your liking.
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 briefly 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 flow freely from mouth
into the sink. Keep unit upright during use for best results.
Charging Unit Prior to First Use
Plug the cord into any standard electrical outlet. Make
sure you push the switch into the “OFF” position
before charging. The unit will not charge if the switch
is in the “ON” position. The Waterpik®Water Flosser
will stay charged for up to 2 weeks depending on use.
Filling the Reservoir
Remove the charger from the unit prior to
filling reservoir and product use. Lift flip
top on reservoir and fill the reservoir with
lukewarm water.
Inserting and Remove Tips
Insert tip into the center of the knob at the top
of the Water Flosser handle. Press firmly until
the tip clicks into place. To remove the tip from the handle,
press the tip eject button and pull tip from the handle.
CAUTION: Do not press tip eject button while unit
is running.

TIP USAGE
Pik Pocket®Tip

deliver water or anti-bacterial solutions deep
into periodontal pockets.

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.

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.

ENGLISH
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. Turn the Water Flosser on so the 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.
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 AND TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR WATERPIK®WATER FLOSSER
Cleaning
Never immerse unit in water. Before cleaning, unplug from the electrical
outlet. Clean the product when necessary by using a soft 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 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.

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
requirements. The battery is not replaceable.
