Powering the Unit

Plug the cord into an electrical outlet. If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, be sure it is turned on.

Preparing the Reservoir

Lift the reservoir lid, remove the reservoir, and fill with lukewarm water. Replace the reservoir over the base and press down firmly and close the lid.

Inserting and Removing Tips

Insert tip into the center of the Water Flosser handle, pressing down firmly until the tip clicks into place. The colored ring will be flush with the top of the handle if the tip is correctly locked into place. To remove tip from the handle push the tip eject button on the handle.

Prime Unit (First Time Use Only)

Set pressure control dial on base to high (pressure setting No. 10), point the handle and tip into sink. Turn unit ON (I) until water flows from the tip. Turn unit OFF (O).

Adjusting the Pressure Setting

Turn the pressure control dial on the base of the unit to the lowest setting (pressure setting No. 1) for first-time use. Gradually increase pressure over time to the setting you prefer – or as instructed by your dental professional.

Recommended Technique

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.

Lean over sink. Direct the stream at a 90-degree angle to your gumline with tip in mouth. Slightly close lips to avoid splashing, but allow water to flow freely from mouth. Set pressure at desired setting and turn the unit ON (I). Begin cleaning.

When Finished

Turn the unit OFF (0). Empty any liquid left in the reservoir. Unplug the unit.

NOTE: If you used mouthwash or other solution besides water, see "Using Mouthwash and Other Solutions" section.

NOTE: NOT ALL TIPS INCLUDED WITH ALL MODELS.

TIP USAGE

Pik Pocket® Tip

The Pik Pocket ^® tip is specifically designed to deliver water or antibacterial 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.

Tongue Cleaner Tip

Set to lowest pressure setting, place tip in the center/middle of your tongue about half way back. 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. 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.

Using Mouthwash and Other Solutions

Your Waterpik® Water Flosser can be used to deliver mouthwash and antibacterial solutions. After using any special solution, rinse unit to prevent clogging by partially filling reservoir with warm water and running unit with tip pointed into sink until unit is empty.

Cleaning

Before cleaning, unplug from the electrical outlet. Clean the product when necessary by using a soft cloth and mild non-abrasive cleanser. The water reservoir is removable for easy cleaning and is top rack dishwasher safe.

NOTE: Remove reservoir valve before placing reservoir in dishwasher.

Removing Hard Water Deposits / General Cleaning

Hard water deposits may build up in your unit, depending on the mineral content of your water. If left unattended, it can hinder performance.

Cleaning internal parts: add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar to a full reservoir of warm water. Point the handle and tip into sink. Turn unit ON and run until reservoir is empty. Rinse by repeating with a full reservoir of clean warm water.

This process should be done every 1 to 3 months to ensure optimal performance.

Leakage

If leaking due to a damaged hose, replacement hoses and handles can be purchased from your local distributor, which can be found at www.waterpik.com/intl.

If leakage occurs from the reservoir, ensure the valve is right side up or contact your local distributor for a replacement valve.
