CHARGING AIRFLOSS

Charge for 24 hours before first use. Charge indicator flashes green until AirFloss is fully charged. Rapid yellow flashing indicates charge is extremely low (fewer than 3 uses left). AirFloss is designed to last 2 weeks (or 14 uses) on a single charge.

PREPARING FOR USE

To use, attach nozzle, fill reservoir with water or mouthwash. After filling the reservoir, press the power on/off button to turn on, then press the activation button approximately 6 times or until spray is produced. The reservoir holds enough liquid for approximately 2 uses. Replace the nozzle every 6 months for optimal results.

USING AIRFLOSS

AirFloss is designed to be used on the outside of the teeth. Place the tip between teeth and apply gentle pressure. Press activation button to deliver a burst of air and water. Glide the guidance tip along the gum line until you feel it settle between the next two teeth. Press the activation button again and repeat for all spaces including behind your back teeth. Press power on/off button to turn power off after use.
