GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR WATER FLOSSER

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

with lukewarm water. Replace the reservoir over the
base and press down firmly and close the lid.

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.10), point the handle and tip into sink.
Turn power and water 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 water ON. With water switch on

handle in OFF position, turn power on.

Lean over

sink and slightly close lips enough to prevent

splashing while still allowing water to flow

from mouth into the sink. Turn water switch

ON. When finished, turn water switch and

power OFF.

During use you can stop the flow of
water by sliding the water switch on handle to the
OFF position.

NOTE: Engine will continue to run.

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 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.

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

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.
