GETTING STARTED

Powering the Unit

Plug the cord into an electrical outlet. If the outlet is

controlled by a wall switch, be sure it is turned on.

Preparation and Use

Refer to the Quick Start Guide for proper use instructions.

When Finished

Turn the unit OFF (O). Empty any liquid left in the

reservoir. Unplug the unit.

TIP USAGE

Pik PocketTM 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.

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.

Toothbrush Tip

Place the toothbrush tip

in mouth with the brush

head on the tooth at the

gum line. The toothbrush tip can be used with or without

toothpaste. Turn the Water Flosser on so 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.
