• Tablet Loading
  Insert tablet into water flosser handle by pressing the flip top button at top of handle. Insert tablet into opening and close flip top by clicking it securely into place on handle.
  NOTE : Do NOT place tablet in reservoir. Use one tablet daily to remove stains from hard to reach areas, between teeth, and at the gumline, that other products miss.

• 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 power on.
  • With water switch on handle 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 front teeth and work toward the back 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 power OFF. Empty any liquid left in the reservoir. Unplug the unit.
  NOTE : If you have any residual tablet left in the handle, simply discard in trash.

CLEANING AND TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR WATERPIK® WATER FLOSSER

• SPECIALTY TIP USAGE 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.

• 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.

• Accessory Storage

• 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.
  NOTE : Using mouthwash with tablet is NOT recommended. Unpleasant taste may occur.

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.
General Cleaning/Removing Hard Water Deposits Hard water deposits may build up in your unit, depending on the mineral content of you 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. If using mouthwash or other solutions, more frequent cleaning is recommended.
