After removing the cover A6 plug the power cord into the A5 charging socket. The other end to a source such as a compatible AC power adapter or backup power source.
A discharged battery is signaled by the flashing of the A3 indicators 5 times. Charging is indicated by gradual flashing of the A3 lights; full charge then the steady light of these lights. After charging, replace cover A6. For a full charge, the battery needs to be  charged for approximately 3 hours. Depending on the cleaning mode, can empty approximately 40 – 45 water reservoirs A7 (about 50 min.), which will last for about 2 – 3 weeks if used twice a day for two minutes as well.

Note: Although the brush / oral irrigator should not be charged before they are fully discharged, we recommend charging them at regular intervals in order to ensure maximum battery life (e.g. after 2 weeks of use).

Caution

• Do not exceed the recommended time of charging 3 hours during regular charging!
• The appliance cannot be used while charging.

USE

The water system must be flushed out before first use. Fill the water reservoir A7 with clean drinking water according to the following instructions, re-assemble the appliance and switch it on. Allow all the water to run through the oral irrigator to the washbasin.  Repeat this procedure at least twice.
Filling with water
It is necessary to open the container plug A8 first and reinsert it properly after filling. See Figure 2. The bin A7 can be opened by pressing the lock A9 and pulling out the lid A10.

Attachment B/C – the snozzle into the opening at the top of the oral irrigator body A until it locks in place (you will hear a click). “Pull” the attachment slightly so as to check that it is properly fitted. To remove the attachment, press the ejector button A4 first and  take out the attachment pulling it gently.

Button control
Using the mode switch button A2, select a cleaning mode first:

1. Clean mode – standard intensive mode for regular cleaning of healthy teeth and gums,
2. Soft mode – gentle mode for sensitive teeth and gums,
3. Pulse mode – pulse mode for gentle gum massaging.
4. mode D (DIY) – allows you to adjust the intensity yourself. After activating this mode and turning on the appliance, press and hold button A2 – the intensity of the water jet will be switched automatically. You can set the desired intensity by releasing the  button at the moment when the intensity that suits you is active.

The selected mode can be changed even when cleaning is in process. Activation of the mode selected is indicated by the indicator A3 coming on. Activate the appliance by pressing the ON switch A1. When you press the ON switch again, the appliance will switch  off or after the 2 minutes expires, the appliance will automatically turn off. After switching off/exiting the mode, the number of indicator lights A3 corresponding to the current battery charge status (4 = max. charge, 1 = min. charge) will remain lit for a few  moments.

Note

• The appliance remembers the last set mode.
• After emptying the container, switch off the appliance and, if necessary, refill it.

Method of use (Fig. 3)
As plague which clings to the teeth surface cannot be removed simply with a stream of water, it is necessary to clean your teeth thoroughly with a toothbrush before using the oral irrigator. As soon as you have cleaned your teeth replace the brush with the oral  irrigator.
Attach the nozzle B to the oral irrigator and put the nozzle tip between two teeth at the gum line level at a 90 degree angle. To prevent the water from splashing, press the lips slightly together around the nozzle, but keep the mouth slightly open so that water can  flow out smoothly. Lean over the washbasin while cleaning your mouth. Slowly guide the nozzle until you feel it settle between the next two teeth, smoothly follow the gum line and the shape of your teeth. Continue doing so until you clean all inter-dental spaces, including the molars, in all areas of the mouth. Do not apply any pressure on the nozzle, let it do all the work on its own. Depending on the selected mode of cleaning, the full water reservoir A7 will last for about 60 – 90 seconds. For optimal mouth irrigation, we  recommend refilling the reservoir 2 times.

When cleaning is finished

• Open the water reservoir A7 and empty it, pouring any remaining water in the washbasin.
• Switch the oral irrigator on for a few seconds so as to empty the inside as well.
• Wipe all the components with a dry cloth.

Buttons lock
Long press the A2 button in the off state to activate the button lock against accidental activation (e.g. when travelling). Activation is signaled by the lighting of all A3 lights.
You can deactivate the lock in the same way.

Caution

• To avoid proliferation of fungi and bacteria if the appliance is not used for a longer time, empty the reservoir thoroughly after each use!
• During the first few days of using the oral irrigator, your gums might bleed slightly but this usually stops on its own after a few days.
• To ensure the best results when cleaning, we recommend replace every 6 replace every 6 months the nozzle. However, if the attachment are showing signs of significant wear or damage, replace theim sooner.

MAINTENANCE

For maximum hygiene, clean the oral irrigator after each use! Failure to do so might result in deterioration of your state of health due to proliferation of fungi and bacteria. Do not use any rough and aggressive cleaning agents! The nozzle for teeth and gums B, C  under running water. Use the damp cloth to wipe the oral irrigator body A, cable D as well. For hygienic purposes we recommend that you dip the nozzle / tongue scraper into a denture cleaner every 2 – 4 weeks.

Alternatively, you can use other appropriate disinfectants. When using cleaning agents / disinfectants, always follow the instructions indicated on the packaging.
Make sure that the contact surfaces and sealing elements are clean, not damaged and properly positioned. If you are not going to use the appliance for an extended period of time, empty the entire water system thoroughly (i.e. empty the reservoir, press the  switch A1, drain the water until it stops flowing from the nozzle).

Other important notes:

• Do not clean the appliance in a dishwasher and do not use any aggressive cleaning agents for cleaning!
• Never use water at a temperature exceeding 50 °C to clean the oral irrigator
