ENGLISH Preparing for use

1 Align the nozzle and press the nozzle down onto the handle (‘click’) (Fig. 4). Note:We advise you to place the tip facing the front of the handle as the illustration shows, but the nozzle can be placed in the handle either way without affecting the function.You can try both options and use what works best for you in your oral care routine. Note: Replace the nozzle (HX8032, HX8033) every 6 months for optimal results. Also replace the nozzle if it becomes loose or no longer ‘clicks’ onto the handle. Note:The AirFloss Ultra only supports AirFloss Ultra nozzles. Do not attempt to use non-AirFloss Ultra nozzles on the AirFloss Ultra handle. 2 Open the cover of the reservoir (‘click’) (Fig. 5). 3 Fill the reservoir with mouthwash or water (Fig. 6). Tip: For the best result and a fresher experience, we advise you to use mouthwash with your AirFloss Ultra. Note: Do not use mouthwash that contains isopropyl myristate (e.g. Dentyl Active) or high concentrations of essential oils, as it may damage the appliance. This includes all mouthwash sold in glass and ceramic packaging. 4 Close the cover of the reservoir by pressing (‘click’) (Fig. 7). 5 Press the power/mode button to switch on the appliance. (Fig. 8) ,, The LEDs illuminate. 6 Press and hold the activation button until spray comes out of the tip of the nozzle (Fig. 9).

ENGLISH 11 Using the appliance 1 Make sure the AirFloss Ultra is switched on. If it is off, press and release the power/mode button to switch on the appliance. (Fig. 8) ,, You can change the modes to have the desired amounts of bursts each time you press the activation button. For optimal results, use the triple burst mode (the default setting) from both the outside and inside of your teeth. ,, To change modes, press the power/mode button to cycle through the modes until you reach your desired mode. The LEDs show the selected mode: -- Single burst: 1 LED (Fig. 10) -- Double burst: 2 LEDs (Fig. 11) -- Triple burst: 3 LEDs (Fig. 12) Note:The AirFloss Ultra remembers what mode was selected last and it is ready for the next use. If your AirFloss Ultra becomes fully drained of power, it will go back to the triple burst default mode once it has been recharged. 2 Place the nozzle tip between two teeth at your gum line. Slightly close your lips over the nozzle when it is in place, to avoid splashing (Fig. 13). 3 Press the activation button to deliver 1-3 bursts (depending on the selected mode) of air and micro-droplets of mouthwash or water between the teeth. (Fig. 14) 4 Slide the nozzle tip along the gum line until you feel it settle between the next two teeth. 5 Continue this procedure for all spaces between your teeth, including behind your back teeth (Fig. 15). Note: Refill the reservoir as needed. Auto-burst function Hold the activation button to deliver bursts continuously, approximately one second between set of bursts. 1 To switch off the AirFloss Ultra, press and hold the power/mode button for one second.
