Recommended Technique

Lean low over sink and place the tip in mouth.

work toward the front teeth. Glide tip along gumline and pause briefly
between teeth. Continue until you have cleaned the inside and outside of

Direct the jet stream at a 90-degree angle to your gumline. Slightly
close lips to avoid splashing but allow water to flow freely from mouth

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. Turn the Water Flosser on so the water flows through the tip.

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

Never immerse unit in water. Clean the product when necessary by using a
soft cloth and mild non-abrasive cleanser to wipe exterior.

The water reservoir is removable for easy cleaning and is top rack
dishwasher safe. It is recommended that the reservoir is removed and
cleaned weekly.

Removing Hard Water Deposits

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 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.

type and brand.

• Replace batteries when there is a noticeable change in performance.
