Recommended Technique
Direct the 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. For best results, start in the
molar area (back teeth) working toward the front
teeth. Glide tip along gumline and pause briefly
between teeth. Continue until all areas around and
between the teeth have been cleaned.
Pause Control
You can temporarily stop the flow any time by
pressing the pause button on the handle.
When Finished
Turn the unit off. Empty any liquid left in the
reservoir. Unplug the unit.
