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
Remove
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.
