5. Operating Instructions
- Power On/Off: Press the ON/OFF button located on the unit to turn the device on or off.
- Adjust Water Pressure: Turn the pressure control knob (dial) on the front of the unit to select your desired water pressure level.

For first-time users or those with sensitive gums, start with a lower setting.
- Begin Flossing: Lean over a sink and place the tip in your mouth, aiming the water jet at your gumline at a 90-degree angle. Close your lips slightly to prevent splashing but allow water to flow into the sink.
