2. Safety Information
To ensure safe operation and prevent damage to the device or injury, please observe the following precautions:
- Avoid Essential Oils: Do not use essential oils or mouthwash in the water tank. These substances can clog the internal conduit, damage the device's body, and corrode the water main board, leading to functional issues.
- Prevent Splashing: During dental rinsing, partially close your mouth to prevent water from splashing.
- Secure Charging Port: Always ensure the charging port cover is securely closed when not charging. This protects the port from water ingress and prevents charging problems.
- Water Temperature: Use lukewarm water for comfortable flossing. Do not use hot water.
- Children and Individuals with Special Needs: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
