Using the Irrigator
Before using for the first time, fill the water container and
allow the water to run through completely by holding
the irrigator handle over a washbasin.
1. Attach one of the irrigator jets
8 to the handle e until
it locks in place. Fill the water container with water
and add mouthwash, if desired.
2. Turn on the irrigator by pressing the on/off switch
0.
(When doing so, the sliding switch
w on the handle
should not be pushed up.)
3. Select the water pressure with the pressure control
dial
q (1 = gentle, 5 = strong). We recommend that
you start with setting (1), especially if your gums tend
to bleed or if children are using the irrigator.
4. Bend over the washbasin and guide the jet to your
teeth and gums. Slide the handle switch up to start
the water stream. Keep your mouth slightly open to
allow the water to run into the washbasin.
The irrigator jet offers two different functions
depending on the position of the jet tip:
Single jet:
Jet tip in position (a) to clean the teeth and the
interdental spaces and remove resistant food particles
Multi jet:
Jet tip in position (b) to massage the gums and keep
them healthy.
First, turn off the water stream by sliding the handle
switch down (to avoid unintended water spraying). The
jet can easily be switched from one function to the
other by pressing the jet tip in or out. Begin with the
single jet. Guide the water stream to the teeth and
especially to the interdental spaces. Then massage
the gums with the multi jet.
To ensure the jet functions, a small sieve is incorpo-
rated in the lower end of the shaft. Should you notice
a reduced water pressure, check the sieve for any de-
posits and remove them, e.g. by carefully tapping
the shaft on a flat surface.
