Preparing for use

1 Align the nozzle so the tip faces the front of the handle and press the nozzle down onto the handle ('click') (Fig. 5).

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

ENGLISH10

Note: The AirFloss Pro only supports AirFloss Pro nozzles. Do not attempt to use non-AirFloss Pro nozzles on the AirFloss Pro handle.

2 Open the cover of the reservoir ('click') (Fig. 6).
3 Fill the reservoir with mouthwash or water (Fig. 7).

Tip: For the best result and a fresher experience, we advise you to use mouthwash with your AirFloss Pro.

Using the appliance

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).

• Single burst: 1 LED (Fig. 11)
• Double burst: 2 LEDs (Fig. 12)
• Triple burst: 3 LEDs (Fig. 13)

Note: The AirFloss Pro remembers what mode was selected last and it is ready for the next use. If your AirFloss Pro becomes fully drained of power, it goes back to the triple burst default mode once it has been recharged.
