GETTING STARTED

PREPARING THE UNIT

Powering the Unit

Plug the power supply into an electrical outlet. If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, be sure it is turned on.

Charging the Sensonic™ Toothbrush

Charge for 8 hours before first use. The light ring will glow white on the handle while charging. When fully charged, all lights will shut off. The light ring will be solid red when the battery is running low. The light ring will blink red when the battery is fully depleted and needs to be recharged. A full charge will last for approximately 2 weeks of typical use (2 minutes of brushing twice a day).

Note: Charging of the toothbrush will pause temporarily when the flosser is operating. Toothbrush charging will resume automatically when the flosser turns off.

Modes

• A. Clean: Outstanding everyday cleaning performance.
• B. Stain Removal: Gently removes surface stains.
• C. Gum Care: Gently enhances gum stimulation.

Note: Modes can only be changed when in operation.

Sensonic™ Brushing

• Slide the brush head onto the handle and push it down firmly.
• Place the brush head into your mouth before turning the unit on.
• Select the mode by pressing the mode button.
• For best results, position the brush along the gumline at a 45-degree angle.
• Use light pressure with a small, slow back-and-forth motion covering one or two teeth at a time.

• Quad Timer: The Toothbrush will create a short pause every 30 seconds, to remind you to move to the next quadrant of your mouth.

• 2-Minute Timer: The brush will automatically shut off after 2 minutes of run time.

Bristles change from green to yellow when time to replace. (For optimal performance, replace brush heads every 3 months.)

CARE OF YOUR WATERPIK™ TOOTHBRUSH

Cleaning

1. After each use, turn off the unit, remove the brush head from the handle, and rinse the brush head under running water.
2. Wipe the handle dry after each use.
3. Periodically, clean the charger puck, first unplugging the unit and then wiping with a damp cloth.

Service Maintenance

Waterpik™ Water Flossers have no consumer serviceable electrical items and do not require routine service maintenance. For all parts and accessories, go to www.waterpik.com (US) or www.waterpik.ca (Canada). You may also call our toll-free customer service number at 1-800-525-2774 (US) or 1-888-226-3042 (Canada). Refer to the serial and model numbers in all correspondence. These numbers are located on the bottom of your unit. Still have questions? Go to www.waterpik.com (US) or www.waterpik.ca (Canada).

Preparing the Reservoir

Remove the reservoir, lift the reservoir lid, and fill with lukewarm water. Replace the reservoir over the base, press down firmly, and close the lid.

Inserting and Removing Tips

Insert the 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 the tip from the handle, slide the tip eject button on the handle.

Caution: Do not use the tip eject slide while the unit is running.

Prime Unit (First Time Use Only)

Set the pressure control dial on the base to high (pressure setting No. 10), point the handle and tip into the sink. Turn the unit ON and water ON until water flows from the tip. Turn Power 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 the water switch in the OFF position, turn the power on. Lean over the sink and slightly close your lips enough to prevent splashing while still allowing water to flow from your mouth into the sink. Turn the water switch ON. When finished, turn the 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: Motor will continue to run.

Recommended Technique

For best results, start with the back teeth and work toward the front teeth. Glide the tip along the 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 unit OFF. Empty any liquid left in the reservoir. Unplug the unit.

Note: If you used mouthwash or other solutions besides water, see the “Using Mouthwash and Other Solutions” section.

NOTE: NOT ALL TIPS ARE INCLUDED WITH ALL MODELS.

TIP USAGE

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.

Orthodontic Tip

To use the orthodontic tip, gently glide the 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.

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. Place the soft tip against a tooth at a 45-degree angle and gently place the tip under the gumline, into the pocket.

Tongue Cleaner Tip

Set to the lowest pressure setting, place tip in the center/middle of your tongue about halfway back. Pull forward with light pressure. Increase pressure as you prefer.

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 the unit to prevent clogging by partially filling the reservoir with warm water and running the unit with the tip pointed into the sink until the unit is empty. Never immerse in water or any other liquid.

Cleaning

Never immerse the unit in water. Before cleaning, unplug from the electrical outlet. Clean the product when necessary by using a soft cloth and mild non-abrasive cleanser to wipe the exterior. It is recommended that the reservoir is removed and cleaned weekly. The water reservoir is removable for easy cleaning and is top rack dishwasher safe, with heat cycle off. Using toothpastes containing peroxide may damage the plastic housing of this product. Using abrasive or chemical cleaners may damage the plastic housing of this product.

Removing Hard Water Deposits/General Cleaning

Hard water deposits may build up in your unit, depending on the mineral content of your 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 the sink. Run the unit 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. If using mouthwash or other solutions, more frequent cleaning is recommended.
