GETTING STARTED
Plug the cord into an electrical outlet. If the outlet is
controlled by a wall switch, be sure it is turned on.
Preparing the Reservoir

the reservoir with lukewarm water. Replace the
reservoir over the base and press down firmly.
Inserting and Removing Tips
Insert tip into the center of the knob at the top of
the Water Flosser handle. The coloured ring will be
flush with the end of the knob if the tip is correctly
locked into place. To remove tip from the handle,
press the tip eject button and pull tip from handle.

Placement in Mouth
Lean low over sink and place the tip in mouth.
Aim the tip toward teeth.
With your free hand, turn
the unit on. Set pressure
at desired setting.
Direct the stream by
turning the knob at
the top of the handle.
Adjusting the Pressure Setting

unit to the lowest setting (pressure setting No. 1)
for first-time use. Gradually increase pressure over
time to the setting you prefer – or as instructed by
your dental professional.

10
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.

TIP USAGE
Pik PocketTM Tip
The Pik PocketTM Tip is
specifically designed
to deliver water or anti-
bacterial solutions deep
into periodontal
pockets. It is not
intended for
general use
To use the Pik
PocketTM Tip, lean low over your sink and 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 to the lowest pressure
setting and clean by gently following gumline,
inserting tip in between teeth. Continue tracing along
the gumline until all areas of the mouth are clean.
NOTE: This tip must be used only with the Pressure
Control set to 1. Use on a higher setting will shorten
life of tip and power handle
Tongue Cleaner Tip
Place the tongue
cleaner on your
tongue and start the
Water Flosser – use
the lowest pressure
setting, increase as
comfortable. Gently
place the tongue
cleaner in the center/
midline of your
tongue about half way back and with light pressure
pull forward.
Orthodontic Tip
The special Orthodontic Tip is uniquely designed to
simultaneously brush and rinse hard-to-reach areas
around braces and other dental work.
Start on the last molar (back tooth). Aim tip at 90
degree angle to the tooth at the gumline. Gently
glide tip along gumline, pausing briefly to lightly
brush area between teeth and all around orthodontic
bracket, before proceeding to the next tooth.
Continue process until you have cleaned the inside
and outside of both the upper and lower teeth.

12
Using Mouthwash and
Other Solutions
Your Waterpik®Water Flosser can be used to deliver
mouthwash and antibacterial solutions. Ask your
dental professional to recommend the appropriate
solution for you. Note: use of some antibacterial
solutions could shorten the life of your Waterpik®
Water Flosser.
After using any special solution in the reservoir, take
a moment after every use to rinse the unit. Partially fill
the reservoir with warm tap water. Aim the jet tip into
your sink. Turn on the unit and let it run until empty.
This will help keep the tip from clogging and help
your unit to last longer.
Clean the product when necessary by using a soft
cloth and mild non-abrasive cleanser.
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) vibrate the brush back and forth with very
short strokes – much like you would with a manual
toothbrush. Repeat on adjacent teeth. Water will
flow through the brush, to help simultaneously
clean and rinse the tooth surface.
Plaque SeekerTM Tip
Direct the jet stream at a 90-degree angle to your
gumline. Close lips slightly to avoid splashing but
allow water to flow freely from mouth into sink. Start
in the molar (back teeth) area working toward the
front teeth. 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. Continue until all areas
around and between the teeth both inside and
outside, top and bottom have been cleaned.
