Important information

Please use the appliance together with toothbrush.
It is hard to remove tartar or dental calculus attached to the tooth surface just by a water jet, so a toothbrush is required to brush the teeth. We recommend rinsing the inside of your mouth with the water jet after brushing your teeth.
When you first begin using the oral irrigator, you may experience slight bleeding of the gums even though your gums may be healthy.
This is because your gums are receiving stimulation by the oral irrigator for the first time. The bleeding should stop after one or two weeks of use. Bleeding that persists for more than two weeks may be indication of an abnormal condition of your gums, such as periodontal disease. In this case, stop using the oral irrigator and consult your dentist.
The USB cable provides the overheat protection function. If charging is abnormal or the USB plug (Type-C) heats up, disconnect the power supply, check the socket, and remove any water or foreign objects from the socket.
Do not put salt, mouthwash or other chemicals into the water tank.
Doing so may cause malfunction.
Do not dry the main unit with a dryer or a fan heater.
Doing so may cause malfunction or deformation of the parts.
