Frequently Asked Questions - Sonicare Airfloss HX8526 PHILIPS

How do I charge my Philips Sonicare Airfloss HX8526?

For the first use, charge for 24 hours. Plug the charger into an electrical outlet (100–240V) and place the handle on the charger. The green light flashes during charging. A full charge provides up to 2 weeks of use.

What liquids can I use in the reservoir?

You can use mouthwash or water. Do not use mouthwash containing isopropyl myristate (e.g., Dentyl Active) or high concentrations of essential oils, as these may damage the appliance.

How do I use the AirFloss correctly?

Turn on the device, place the tip between your teeth with gentle pressure, and press the activation button for a single burst. Hold the button for continuous bursts (select models). Slide the tip along the gum line between each tooth space.

How often should I replace the nozzle?

Replace the nozzle every 6 months for optimal results. Also replace it if the nozzle becomes loose or no longer clicks onto the handle.

How do I clean the AirFloss?

After each use, remove the nozzle and rinse it. Open the reservoir and rinse under a faucet. Wipe the handle and charger with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the handle in water or use a dishwasher.

What does the flashing yellow light mean?

A flashing yellow charge indicator means the battery is low and needs recharging soon (fewer than 3 uses left). Recharge the device promptly.

Can I use the AirFloss if I have braces or dental work?

Consult your dental professional before use if you have recent oral surgery, gum disease, or extensive dental work within the past 2 months. The device is designed for general oral care.
