Fill the tank with water or mouthwash, select the desired mode and pressure, place the nozzle between teeth, and press the button. Glide along the gumline for a few seconds per gap.

How often should I replace the nozzle?

Replace the nozzle every 6 months or sooner if bristles become frayed for optimal hygiene and performance.

How do I clean the device?

Rinse the nozzle and tank after each use. Once a month, clean with a mild soap solution or use the self-cleaning cycle if available. Wipe the handle with a damp cloth.

The battery lasts up to 2 weeks on full charge. Use the supplied charger and charge for 24 hours initially. A blinking light indicates low battery.

Is it safe for braces?

Press the mode button to cycle through low, medium, and high pressure. Choose a comfortable setting that effectively cleans without hurting gums.

What does the timer do?

The timer helps ensure you floss for the recommended 60 seconds. A pacer beeps every 30 seconds to remind you to switch to the other half of your mouth.

What if water leaks?

Check that the nozzle is properly locked. Clean the nozzle o-ring. If leaks persist, the device may need descaling or the tank seal may be damaged. Contact Philips support.

How do I store it?

Store the device upright in a dry place. If not used for long periods, empty the tank and charge the battery to 50%. Avoid direct sunlight and high humidity.
