GETTING STARTED

Inserting Batteries

Replace batteries when there is a noticeable change in performance.

Filling the Reservoir

Lift the flip top on reservoir and fill the reservoir with lukewarm water.

Inserting and Removing Tips

Insert tip into the center of the knob at the top of the Water Flosser handle. The colored ring will be flush with the end of the knob if the tip is correctly

locked into place. To remove the tip from the handle, press the tip eject button and pull tip from handle.

Adjusting the Pressure Setting

You can adjust the pressure setting on your Water Flosser by simply sliding the pressure/power switch on the handle. Slide power switch up 1 click for low (I) pressure and 2 clicks for high (II) pressure.

Recommended Technique

Lean low over sink and place the tip in mouth. Aim the tip toward teeth, and turn the unit ON (I).

For best results, start with the back teeth and work toward the front teeth. Glide tip along gumline and pause briefly between teeth. Continue until you have cleaned the inside and outside of both the upper and lower teeth.

Direct the jet stream at a 90-degree angle to your gumline. Slightly close lips to avoid splashing but allow water to flow freely from mouth into the sink. Keep unit upright during use for best results.

When Finished

Turn the unit off. Empty any liquid left in the reservoir.

If desired, the reservoir may be removed from the power handle by sliding the reservoir down towards the base of the unit.

To replace the reservoir on the power handle, simply slide it up towards the top of the unit.

CLEANING AND TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR WATERPIK® WATER FLOSSER

TIP USAGE

Pik Pocket™ Tip

The Pik Pocket ^※ Tip is specifically designed to deliver water or anti-bacterial solutions deep into periodontal pockets.

To use the Pik Pocket Tip, set the unit to the lowest

pressure setting. Place the soft tip against a tooth at a 45-degree angle and gently place the tip under the gumline, into the pocket. Turn the unit on and continue tracing along the gumline.

Tongue Cleaner Tip

To use the tongue cleaner tip, set to lowest pressure setting, place tip in the center/middle of your tongue about half way back and start the Water Flosser. Pull forward with light pressure. Increase pressure as you prefer.

Orthodontic Tip

To use the Orthodontic Tip, gently glide tip along gumline, pausing briefly to lightly brush area between teeth and all around orthodontic bracket, before proceeding to the next tooth.

Toothbrush Tip

Place the toothbrush tip in mouth with the brush head on the tooth at the gumline. The toothbrush tip can be used with or without toothpaste. Turn the Water Flosser on so the water flows through

the tip. Using a light pressure (bristles should not bend) massage the brush back and forth with very short strokes-much like you would with a manual toothbrush.

Plaque Seeker Tip

To use the Plaque Seeker Tip, place the tip close to the teeth so that the bristles are gently touching the teeth. Gently glide tip

along gumline, pausing briefly between teeth to gently brush and allow the water to flow between the teeth.
