4. Usage
For the first time use, adjust the pressure setting to the LOW setting.
To increase water pressure, move the setting to the HI setting.
[Diagram shows the Waterpik Waterflosser unit with a control for adjusting the pressure setting, indicating a range from 'LOW' to 'HI'.]
On/Off Procedure
Always place the tip in your mouth before turning the unit on.
Lean over a sink and close your lips enough to prevent splashing, while still allowing water to flow from your mouth into the sink. Turn the unit ON.
Keep the unit upright during use to ensure continuous water flow.

Technique Tips for Best Results
Aim the water stream just above the gumline at a 90-degree angle.
Starting with the back teeth, follow the gumline and pause briefly between teeth. Continue until all areas around and between teeth have been cleaned.
