Charging

On the bathroom countertop or a shelf

1. Place the cord in the right, left or centre cord guide, depending on where the charger will be placed.

2. Place the charger on a secure, level surface.

3. Plug in the power plug.

1 Insert main unit so it stands upright in the charging section.

The charging indicator will light up.
- Be sure to place the main unit upright. If the main unit is tilted or not in direct contact with the charger, the main unit may not charge properly.
- Charging is completed in about 15 hours.
The lamp does not go off even when charging ends.
The main unit will provide an operation time of approximately 15 minutes of use when the battery is fully charged. (The operating duration will become shorter as the batteries get older.)

2 Disconnect the power plug after charging is completed.

(for safety and to reduce energy usage)

• The battery performance will not be affected even if it is charged for more than 15 hours.

Notes

• When using the appliance for the first time or if it has not been used for more than half a year, the charging indicator may not light up for several minutes after charging starts or the operating time may become shorter. In such cases, charge the battery for 23 hours or more.
• Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 0^ - 35^ . Battery performance may decrease outside of the recommended temperature.

How to use

1 Attach the nozzle firmly onto the main unit.

2 Open the water tank cap, hold the main unit so it is level, and fill the tank with water.

Always use new tap water or lukewarm water.
- If the water feels cold, use lukewarm water with a temperature of 40^ or less.

3 Close the water tank cap, making sure it locks in place.

4 Press the mode switch and select the desired water jet mode.

• The mode indicator will glow the previously selected mode. If the appliance is not used for more than 30 days, or after the appliance has been fully charged from its fully discharged state, the mode is initialized to AIR IN (SOFT). (When the battery is drained, the mode will be reset but this is not a fault.)
• If you want to use a different mode, press the mode switch until it changes to the desired setting. Pressing the mode switch will change the mode from AIR IN (SOFT) to AIR IN (REGULAR) to JET.

Mode Description
JET REGULAR SOFT	JET mode ·This mode is for removing food particles trapped between the teeth.
JET REGULAR SOFT	AIR IN (REGULAR) mode ·This mode is for periodontal pocket cleaning and gum care.
JET REGULAR SOFT	AIR IN (SOFT) mode ·This mode is for gently massaging the gums.
Notes ·When you use the appliance for the first time, press the power switch to turn the appliance on and test each of the water jet modes with the tank filled with water. ·The appliance may not operate in an ambient temperature approximately 5 °C or lower. ·Do not hold the tip of the nozzle firmly against the teeth or gums. ·Since plaque adhering to the surface of teeth cannot be removed only with water flow, brushing is always necessary. It is recommended to clean inside your mouth with water flow after brushing your teeth. ·Do not operate the main unit when empty other than when pouring out any remaining water after use. Operating the main unit without water may result in a malfunction.

5 Place the nozzle in your mouth and close your mouth gently before pressing the power swit

Periodontal pocket cleaning

In the AIR IN (REGULAR) mode

• Aim the water flow at the space between the teeth and gum.
• Slowly shift the water flow along the gum.
  Clean the front and back of the teeth and behind the molars as well.
• Clean the areas of concern in the gum in the AIR IN (SOFT) mode.
• Do not clean the periodontal pocket in JET mode, since the strength of water flow is too strong.
