GETTING STARTED

Charging Unit Prior to First Use

Connect the USB charging cable to the unit (USB-C) and then to the USB wall charger (USB-A).
Then plug the USB wall charger into the power outlet and charge unit for approximately 4 hours.

Note: Refer to the IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS section for required USB wall charger specifications.

Always ensure USB plugs and USB ports are clean and dry before connecting.
LED will glow as it charges. LED stays lit when fully charged until USB cable is unplugged from the device. LED blinks 8 times once you are finished flossing and if the battery is below 30%.

NOTE: Make sure unit is dry before opening weathercap and connecting the charger. Replace the weathercap after charging and ensure it's fully seated (flush with the outside surface of the handle).

Filling the Reservoir

Before filling, disconnect charging cable and replace charging port cover.
Lift flip top on reservoir and fill with lukewarm water.

Inserting and Removing Tips

Insert tip into the center of the knob at the top of the Water Flosser handle. Press firmly until the tip clicks into place. To remove the tip from the handle, press the tip eject button and pull tip from the handle.

Do not press tip eject button while unit is running.

Adjusting the Pressure Setting

You can adjust the pressure setting on your Water Flosser by simply sliding the pressure/power switch on the handle.
Slide power switch up 1 click for Low (l) pressure and 2 clicks for High (ll) pressure.
Start with the lowest setting and increase to your liking.

Recommended Technique

Lean low over sink and place tip in mouth. Aim the tip toward gumline, and turn the unit ON (I).

For best results, start with the back teeth and work toward the front teeth. 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.

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 into the sink. Keep unit upright during use for best results.

When Finished

Turn the unit OFF (O). Empty any liquid left in the reservoir.
If desired, the reservoir may be removed from the power handle by simply pulling down on the reservoir to remove.

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.

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. Using a light pressure (bristles should not bend) massage the brush back and forth with very short strokes – much like you would with a 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.

CLEANING AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Using Mouthwash and Other Solutions

Your Waterpik® Water Flosser can be used to deliver mouthwash and antibacterial solutions. For ease of adding other solutions remove the reservoir (see "When Finished" section) and add from top opening on reservoir. If you are adding additional water you may replace the reservoir and fill reservoir fully with the fill door. 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. Before cleaning, unplug from the electrical outlet. 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 / General Cleaning

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 1 tablespoon 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.

BATTERY CARE

If the Water Flosser is to be stored for an extended period of time (six months or more), be sure to fully charge it prior to storage. Do not expose the battery or appliance to excessive temperatures.

Note: The rechargeable battery is not replaceable, remove only at end of product life. This process is not reversible and voids the product warranty.
