Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective use of your Waterpik Ultra Dental Water Jet:

1. Fill the reservoir with lukewarm water or your preferred mouthwash.
2. Select your desired pressure setting using the dial on the unit. Start with a low setting and gradually increase as you become accustomed to the water jet.
3. Place the tip in your mouth, leaning over the sink, and point it towards your gumline.
4. Press the 'On' button on the unit to start water flow.
5. Move the tip along your gumline and between teeth, allowing the water to remove debris and bacteria.
6. Use the 'On/Off' switch on the handle for easy control during use, pausing the water flow as needed.
7. Continue until all areas have been cleaned or the reservoir is empty.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Reservoir and Tips

To ensure optimal performance and hygiene, regular cleaning is essential:

• Rinse the reservoir thoroughly with clean water after each usage to prevent calcification, especially if using mouthwash or other solutions.
• Clean the tips as needed by rinsing them under warm water. For a deeper clean, tips can be soaked in a solution of 2 parts water to 1 part white vinegar for 5-7 minutes, then rinsed thoroughly.
• Wipe down the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

While the Waterpik Ultra Dental Water Jet is designed for reliable operation, should you encounter any issues, consider the following general advice:

• No Water Flow: Ensure the reservoir is filled, the tip is securely inserted, and the unit is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check for any kinks in the hose.
• Weak Water Pressure: Verify the pressure setting dial is adjusted to your desired level. Mineral deposits can sometimes affect pressure; perform a thorough cleaning of the reservoir and internal components as described in the Maintenance section.
• Excessive Noise: Some operational noise is normal. If the noise is unusually loud or accompanied by other issues, ensure the unit is on a stable surface and all parts are correctly assembled.
