Frequently Asked Questions - Sonicare AirFloss HX8274 PHILIPS

How does the AirFloss HX8274 work?

The AirFloss uses a combination of air and water in microbursts to clean between teeth. It propels a quick burst of air and water to remove plaque and debris.

How often should I replace the nozzle?

Replace the nozzle every 3 months for optimal hygiene and performance. Worn nozzles may reduce effectiveness.

Can I use mouthwash instead of water?

Yes, you can use a small amount of mouthwash diluted with water. Avoid thick or sticky liquids that may clog the device.

After each use, rinse the nozzle and reservoir with warm water. Wipe the handle with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in water.

How long does the battery last?

A full charge lasts up to 2 weeks with normal use (twice daily). Charging takes about 24 hours.

Is the AirFloss waterproof?

The handle has an IPX7 rating, meaning it can be rinsed under running water. However, do not submerge it or use in the shower.

Why is no water coming out?

Ensure the reservoir is filled and properly attached. If still no water, the nozzle may be clogged; try cleaning it with a pin.

Can I use the AirFloss with braces?

Yes, the AirFloss is gentle and can be used with braces, implants, or dental work. Use the lowest pressure setting.

How do I change the pressure setting?

Press the power button to cycle through low, medium, and high settings. The indicator light shows the current level.

What does the triple burst mode do?
