2. Turn on the irrigator by pressing the on/off switch 0. When doing so, the handle switch w should be in the lower position = water stop.
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 a washbasin and guide the jet to your teeth and gums. Slide the handle switch w 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:
abJet 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.
Max. operating time: 15 minutes
Cooling off time: 2 hours
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.
After use
Always empty the water container entirely to prevent bacteria from collecting in the standing water. If your dentist has recommended the use of a chlorhexidine solution with your irrigator, allow some water to run through the irrigator after use to prevent any deposit
Press the on/off switch to turn off the irrigator. To take off the irrigator jet, press the jet release button 9. The jets can be stored in the jet compartment. Wipe the handle dry and place it back onto its base.
