® WATER FLOSSER
The toothbrush tip can be used with or without toothpaste. Turn the Water
Flosser on so the water flows through the tip. 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.
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.
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
Hard water deposits may build up in your unit, depending on the mineral
content of you water. If left unattended, it can hinder performance.
Cleaning internal parts: add 2 tablespoons 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 and Disposal
The unit will not charge if the switch is in the ON (I) position. If you use
your Water Flosser once a day or less, it is recommended you charge it
overnight, once a week. If you use it twice a day or more, charge the unit
more frequently. Do not run the batteries down completely as this may
shorten the lifespan of the batteries and will require charging the unit for
24 hours to obtain a full charge.
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. The unit
contains a Nickel Metal Hydride battery. At the end of the battery life,
please recycle the unit at your nearest recycle center per local or state
requirements. The battery is not replaceable.
