Modes

Your Power Flosser is equipped with 4 different modes:

Clean
This mode, with pacer, provides standard water pressure for a great clean.

Deep clean
This mode, with Pulse Wave technology, provides strong and gentle pulses of water for a thorough clean.

Sensitive
This mode, with Pulse Wave technology, provides gentle pulses of water for beginners or those with sensitive gums.

Gum care
This mode, with pacer, offers soothing pulses of water to massage your gums.

Note: For details on "Pulse Wave technology" and "pacer" (see 'Features').

Selecting modes

1. Turn on the device by pressing the on/off button.
2. Press the mode button to select desired mode.
   

Intensity Settings

Your power flosser comes with 10 different intensity settings. To manually change the intensity, turn on the base and turn the intensity dial to the setting you prefer.

Note: For first time use, start the device from the lowest setting. It is recommended to increase the intensity you use over the course of a few weeks. This can give better cleaning benefits as you are able to tolerate higher settings.

Features

Pacer

The clean and gum care modes have a pacer. This feature indicates when you are supposed to move to the next section of your mouth via a short pause in the waterflow.

Note: This feature is on clean mode and gum care modes only.

Activating or deactivating pacer

You can activate or deactivate the pacer feature by holding the on/off button and the mode button simultaneously for 5 seconds.

• When deactivated, all the lights will flash once.
• When activated, all the lights will flash twice.

Pulse Wave technology

The deep clean and sensitive modes have a "Pulse Wave technology" feature. The flow of the water increases and decreases in intensity, providing a brief pause during which you can move the nozzle to the next space between your teeth.

Magnetic Docking

If the pause switch on the handle was not turned to the off position, when the handle is docked back to the base after use, the magnetic dock will automatically set the pause switch back to off.
