Recommended Technique

Lean low over sink and place the tip in mouth.
Aim the tip toward teeth, and turn the unit ON (l).
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. Empty any liquid left in the reservoir.
If desired, the reservoir may be removed from the power handle by sliding the reservoir down towards the base of the unit.
To replace the reservoir on the power handle, simply slide it up towards the top of the unit.

Cleaning & Troubleshooting

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. Turn the unit on and continue tracing along the gumline.
Tongue Cleaner Tip
To use the tongue cleaner tip, set to lowest pressure setting, place tip in the center/middle of your tongue about half way back and start the Water Flosser. 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. 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 the reservoir with warm water and running the unit with a tip pointed into the sink until the unit is empty.
Cleaning
Never immerse the unit in water. Clean the product when necessary by using a soft cloth and mild non-abrasive cleanser to wipe the 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 your 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 the unit ON and run until the 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.

Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity.
Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the Water Flosser and properly disposed.
