GETTING STARTED
Charging Unit Prior to First Use
If the charger is not included with your unit, a user supplied USB-Charger
with a Type-A USB connector that is rated for 5 VDC @ 1A is required to charge
the unit. Plug the charger into the wall outlet and connect the magnetic plug
to the unit (see image) for approximately 8 hours. The charge indicator on the
handle will flash when charging and will turn off when the unit is fully
charged. A full charge will last up to 4 weeks of typical use. When the
batteries are in need of charging (approximately 30% charge left) the charge
indicator light will blink 3 times quickly to indicate that the user should
consider recharging the unit. A complete recharge will take 8 hours. If you
use your Water Flosser once a day or less, it is recommended that you charge
it every 3-4 weeks. If you use it twice a day or more, charge the unit more
frequently. Charging will stop automatically when the batteries are full, and
leaving the charger connected will not damage or shorten the lifetime of the
battery. Filling the Reservoir
Disconnect the magnetic charging cord from the unit prior to filling reservoir
and product use. Lift 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.
Press firmly until the tip clicks into place. To remove the tip from the
handle, press the tip eject button and pull tip from the handle.
CAUTION: Do not press tip eject button while unit is running. Adjusting the
Pressure Setting
You can adjust the pressure setting on your Water Flosser by pressing the mode
button on the handle. Start with the lowest setting and increase to your
liking.
Recommended Technique
Lean low over sink and place tip in mouth. Aim the tip toward gumline, and
turn the unit ON.
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 release latch to the unlock position(1) and then sliding the
reservoir down towards the base of the unit(2). NOTE: NOT ALL TIPS INCLUDED WITH
ALL MODELS.
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. 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.
CLEANING AND TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR WATERPIK® WATER FLOSSER
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.
Travel Water Plug
When traveling, place travel plug in unit to keep excess water from draining
out.
NOTE: Do NOT run unit while travel water plug is in unit.
Using Mouthwash and Other Solutions
Your Waterpik® Water Flosser can be used to deliver mouthwash and
antibacterial solutions. For ease of adding other solutions remove the
reservoir (see “When Finished” section) and add from top opening on reservoir.
If you are adding additional water you
may replace the reservoir and fill reservoir fully with the fill door. 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
Never immerse unit in water. Before cleaning, unplug from the electrical
outlet. Clean the product when necessary by using a soft cloth and mild non-
abrasive cleanser to wipe exterior.
The water reservoir is removable for easy cleaning and is top rack dishwasher
safe. It is recommended that the reservoir is removed and cleaned weekly.
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 1 tablespoon 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.
