Using your Oral-B® ProfessionalCare™ 8500 OxyJet® 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 to the handle until it locks into place. Fill the water container with water and add mouthwash, if desired.
2.Turn on the irrigator by pressing the on/off switch. (When doing so, the handle switch should be in the lower position = water stop).
3.Select the water pressure with the pressure control dial
(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 a washbasin and guide the jet to your teeth and gums. Slide the handle switch e up to start the water stream. Keep your mouth slightly open to allow the water to run into the washbasin.
You can choose between two different jet functions by sliding the jet switch 9 down or up (before doing so, turn off the water stream by sliding the handle switch e down):
Rotating stream: for general cleaning and gum massage
(jet switch in lower position): The rotation of the water stream and its
Mono stream: straight water stream for
Max. operating time: 15 minutes

To ensure the jet functions, a small sieve is incorporated in the lower end of the shaft. Should you notice a reduced water pressure, check the sieve for any deposits and remove them, e.g. by carefully tapping the shaft on a flat surface.
