IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical products, especially when children are present, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

To reduce the risk of burns, electrocution, fire, or injury:

8. The unit is designed for use with 120V AC.
9. Never operate the unit if it has a damaged power cord, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged or if it has been immersed in liquids.
10. Do not excessively bend or pull the power cord. Unplug the unit by grasping the plug – not the power cord.
11. Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces.
12. Close supervision is necessary when this product is used on or by children or disabled persons.
13. Use this product only for its intended use as described in this manual or recommended by your dental professional.
14. Do not direct water under the tongue, into the ear, nose or other delicate areas. This product can produce pressures that can damage sensitive areas. See Recommended Technique for correct usage.
15. Never block the air openings of the sonic water jet or place it on a soft surface, such as a bed or couch, where the air openings may be blocked. Keep the air openings free of lint, hair, and the like.
16. Never drop or insert any object into any opening or into the hose.
17. Fill reservoir with lukewarm water only unless otherwise specified by your dental professional. Do not overfill.
18. Only use attachments recommended by Interplak.
19. Never use while drowsy.
20. Never operate where oxygen or aerosol sprays are being used.
21. For household use only. Do not use outdoors.
22. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is larger then the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

MEDICAL WARNING For your safety:

1. If you have had oral or periodontal surgery in the past 12 months, contact your dentist prior to use.
2. When you start any new oral hygiene program, your gums may initially bleed slightly. Contact your dentist if excessive bleeding occurs or if the slight bleeding continues after two weeks of use.
3. Do not use mouthwashes or rinses that contain iodine, bleach or tree oil.
4. Do not use while wearing oral jewelry. Remove prior to use.
5. Do not use if you have an open wound on your tongue or in your mouth.
6. If your physician or cardiologist has advised you to receive antibiotic premedication before a dental procedure, you should consult your dentist before using this oral hygiene aid.
7. Closely instruct and supervise children and individuals with special needs about proper use and prevent them from playing with this appliance.
8. Do not remove the flexible tip on either the massage or the subgingival attachments. If it separates for any reason, discard both the tip and shaft and replace them with new attachments.
9. Be sure that only the water jet tips touch your teeth, gums or tongue. Damage to those areas may occur if any other part of the handle touches them.
10. Use only for oral hygiene cleaning. Do not use for any other purpose.
11. As with any new oral hygiene program, individuals with heart problems should check with their physician prior to using the Interplak Sonic Water Jet System.

Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by Interplak will void the warranty. Servicing should always be referred to an authorized service center.

Instructions for Using Battery

Battery Disposal

When replacing the battery, make sure you dispose of the old battery in accordance with applicable regulations. It should be disposed of in a location specifically designated for that purpose so it can be recycled safely and without posing any risk to the environment. Do not burn or bury it.
