Using the Water Flosser
Always place the tip in your mouth before

water by sliding the water

stream at a 90-degree angle to your gumline 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. Lean over sink.
When Finished
Turn the unit OFF. Empty any liquid left in the reservoir. Unplug the unit.

besides water, see “Using Mouthwash and Other Solutions” section.

CLEANING AND TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR WATERPIK® WATER FLOSSER
TIP USAGE
Pik Pocket™ Tip
The Pik Pocket™ Tip is specifically designed to deliver water or antibacterial 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
To use the tongue cleaner tip, set to lowest pressure setting, place tip in the center/middle of your
tongue about half way back and start the Water Flosser. 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.
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 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.
