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
Lift the reservoir lid, remove the reservoir, and fill 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 pressure setting No.10, point the handle and tip into sink. Turn power ON and wait until water flows from the tip. Turn power OFF.

Adjusting the Pressure Setting
Turn the pressure control dial on the base of the unit to the lowest setting 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 power ON. Lean over sink and slightly close lips. Turn power ON. Allow water to flow from your mouth into the sink.

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.

Clean Mode
When the power is initially turned on, the Clean mode indicator light will turn on and remain on for approximately 30 seconds before turning of.

Sensitive Mode
Designed to quickly adjust pressure for those sensitive areas of your mouth without having to reach to the base. When sensitive mode is activated, the water flosser will automatically reduce the pressure. For best results, use the clean mode and set the unit to the pressure setting for you and then as you move to sensitive areas simply hit the mode button for sensitive mode and then hit the mode button again after you pass the sensitive area, to go back to clean mode.

When Finished
Turn the power 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.
NOTE: NOT ALL TIPS INCLUDED WITH ALL MODELS.

TIP USAGE
Pik Pocket™ Tip
The Pik Pocket™ tip is specifically designed to deliver water or anti-bacterial solutions deep into periodontal pockets.
To use the Pik Pocket™ tip, set the unit to the lowest pressure setting. Place the soft tip against a tooth at a 45-degree angle and gently place the tip under the gumline, into the pocket.

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.

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.

Implant Denture Tip
The Implant Denture tip is specifically designed to access areas that are unreachable with a Classic Jet Tip, Plaque Seeker™ tip, or Pik Pocket™ tip. To use the Implant Denture tip, place the tip on the lingual side at one end of the implant retained denture. The opening of the tip is directed between the natural gum tissue and the denture directing the water under the denture. Slowly glide the tip along the space between the natural gum tissue and the denture until you have cleaned underneath the entire length of the denture.

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.
