PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
GETTING STARTED
- Powering the Unit
Plug the cord into an electrical outlet. If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, be sure it is turned on. - Preparing the Reservoir
Remove the reservoir, and fill with lukewarm water. Replace the reservoir over the base and press down firmly.
- 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.3), point the handle and tip into sink. Turn power 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 unit ON. Lean over sink and slightly close lips enough to prevent splashing while still allowing water to flow from mouth into the sink. Turn power switch ON. When finished, turn power switch OFF.
- 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 gum line 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.
TIP USAGE
- Orthodontic Tip
To use the orthodontic tip, gently glide tip along gum line, pausing briefly to lightly brush area between teeth and all around orthodontic bracket, before proceeding to the next tooth.
- Tongue Cleaner Tip
Set to lowest pressure setting, place tip in the center/middle of your tongue about half way back. Pull forward with light pressure. Increase pressure as you prefer.
- 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 gum line, pausing briefly between teeth to gently brush and allow the water to flow between the teeth.
- Toothbrush Tip
Place the toothbrush tip in mouth with the brush head on the tooth at the gum line. 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.
