Inserting and Removing Tips

Insert tip into the center of the Water Flosser handle, pressing down firmly until the 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 push the tip eject button on the handle.

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 power and water ON until water flows from the tip. Turn unit 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 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: 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 gum line 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.

One-Minute Timer/30-second Pacer (Floss Mode Only)
The Water Flosser will create a short pause at 30-seconds, to remind you to move to the other arch of your mouth and another short pause at 1-minute to signal you have reached the recommended cleaning time. The unit will continue to run without pauses until the unit is turned off.
Depending on the pressure setting, some water will remain in the reservoir after 1-minute. Timer may be deactivated if desired. Steps to deactivate:

1. While unit is off, press the mode button once to wake the unit up. One of the LEDs should light up.
2. Press and hold the mode button for approximately 3-seconds until the Massage Mode light blinks. The timer is now deactivated.

If you wish to reactivate the timer:

1. While unit is off, press the mode button once to wake the unit up. One of the LEDs should light up.
2. Press and hold the mode button for approximately 3-seconds until the Floss Mode light blinks. The timer is now activated. Or unplug unit to reset to factory settings.

Hydro-Pulse Massage Mode

Hydro-Pulse Massage offers a unique water pulsation pattern designed to enhance gum stimulation. For best results, use the Floss Mode as instructed. After using Floss Mode for 1-minute, switch the unit to Massage Mode, adjust pressure as desired, and aim the water stream at your gums and massage throughout your mouth.

To determine in which mode the unit is set while it is off simply press mode button and the LED light will indicate current mode. To change mode, press mode button again. You may also press the mode button while unit is on to change mode during use.

When Finished

Turn the power 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 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. 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 power on base and water switch on handle ON.

Tongue Cleaner Tip

Turn the water switch OFF on the handle. Set to lowest pressure setting, place tip in the center/middle of your tongue about half way back. Turn on power on base and water switch on handle ON. 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.

CLEANING AND TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR WATERPIK® WATER FLOSSER

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.

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.

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 water reservoir is removable for easy cleaning and is top rack dishwasher safe.

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.

Leakage

If leaking due to a damaged hose, replacement hoses and handles can be purchased at www.waterpik.com or contact Water Pik Inc. customer service for a self service repair kit.

Accessory Storage
Accessory tip storage for your two most frequently used tips is under the reservoir lid and can be easily accessed by removing the reservoir.
