GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR WATER FLOSSER

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 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, slide the tip eject button on the handle.
Caution: Do not use tip eject slide while unit is running.
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 and water ON until water flows from the tip. Turn Power OFF.
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.
Using the Water Flosser

Always place the tip in your mouth before turning the water ON.
With water switch in OFF position, turn power on. Lean over sink and slightly close lips enough to prevent splashing while still allowing water to flow from mouth into the sink. Turn water switch ON. When finished, turn water switch and power OFF. During use you can stop the flow of water by sliding the water switch on handle to the OFF position.
NOTE: Motor will continue to run.
Recommended Technique

For best results, start with the back teeth and work toward the front teeth. Direct the stream at a 90-degree angle to your gumline with tip in mouth. 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.

When Finished
Turn the unit OFF. 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.

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.
Pik Pocket™ Tip

CLEANING AND TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR WATERPIK® WATER FLOSSER

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
