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.

3 Fill the reservoir with mouthwash or water (Fig. 7).

Note: To operate effectively, the AirFloss has to contain either mouthwash or water.

Tip: For a fresher experience, use mouthwash instead of water.

Note: Do not use mouthwash that contains isopropyl myristate (e.g. Dentyl Active) or high concentrations of essentials oils, as it may damage the appliance. This includes all mouthwash sold in glass and ceramic packaging.

Tip: Use your finger to press the activation button.

Note: The AirFloss is intended to be used on the front/outside surface of the teeth only.
