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 on handle in OFF position, turn power on.

When finished, turn water switch and power OFF. During use you can stop the flow of water by sliding the water switch on the handle to the OFF position.
NOTE : The engine will continue to run.

Recommended Technique
For best results, start with 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. Lean over sink.

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.

TIP USAGE

To use the Pik Pocket™ Tip, set the unit to the lowest pressure setting. Turn the water switch OFF on the handle. Place the soft tip against a tooth at a 45-degree angle and gently place the tip under the gumline, into the pocket. Turn on the power on base and the water switch on the handle ON.

Tongue Cleaner Tip
To use the tongue cleaner tip, set to the lowest pressure setting, place tip in the center/middle of your tongue about halfway back and start the water Flosser. Pull forward with light pressure. Increase pressure as you prefer.

Orthodontic Tip
To use the Orthodontic Tip, gently glide tip along the gumline, pausing briefly to lightly brush the area between teeth and all around the orthodontic bracket, before proceeding to the next tooth.

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 the gumline, pausing briefly between teeth to gently brush and allow the water to flow between the teeth.\

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

Removing Hard Water Deposits

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 the 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.
