Cleaner. Attach it to the handle, turn the appliance
on and drag it across the tongue from back to
front. We recommend using the «Sensitive» mode
(depending on model) for enhanced control during
use. Rinse after use. Replace the Tongue Cleaner
when the material becomes worn.
Interdental Cleaner
The Interdental Cleaner effectively cleans
between teeth and helps keep your gums
healthy. It should be used before
brushing. Break one pick cleaner off the
base and insert it into the slot in the neck of the
white pick holder. Attach the Interdental Cleaner to
the handle and turn the appliance on. Depending on
which part of your mouth you are cleaning, the pick
holder should be adjusted by turning it, so that the
blunt side always faces your gums. Guide the
cleaner between your teeth and clean systematically
from space to space. We recommend using the
«Sensitive» mode (depending on model) for
enhanced control during use. A pick cleaner can be
used approximately three times until it becomes too
soft to effectively fit and clean between the teeth.
Replacement cleaners are available separately.
Cleaning recommendations
After brushing rinse your brush head or accessory
carefully under running water for some seconds with
the handle switched on. Switch off the handle and
remove the brush head or accessory. Clean both
parts separately under running water (see picture d,
page 5); then wipe them dry before reassembling the
toothbrush. Put the toothbrush handle back on the
charger base.
B Using your irrigator
Before using the irrigator first time, fill the water
container (17) and allow the water to run through
completely by holding the irrigator handle (16) over
a washbasin.
Attach one of the irrigator jets (10) to the handle
until it locks into place (see picture e, page 5). Fill
the water container with lukewarm water and add
mouthwash, if desired (see picture f, page 5).
Turn on the irrigator by pressing the on/off switch
(13) (see picture g, page 5). When doing so,
the handle switch should be in the lower position
= water stop.
Select the water pressure with the pressure
control dial (14) (1 = gentle, 5 = strong) (see
picture h, page 5). We recommend that you start
with setting 1, especially if your gums tend to
bleed or if children are using the irrigator.
Bend over a washbasin and guide the jet to your
teeth and gums. Slide the handle switch (15) up to

start the water stream (see picture i, page 5). 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 (11) down or up (before
doing so, turn off the water stream by sliding the
handle switch down):
Rotating stream for general cleaning and gum
massage (jet switch in lower position): The rotation
of the water stream and its micro-bubbles is
designed for easy penetration and gentle gum
massage (see picture k, page 5).
Mono stream (jet switch in upper position):
The straight water stream is designed for targeted
cleaning (see picture l, page 5).
Maximal operation time: 15 minutes
Cooling off time: 2 hours
To ensure the jet functions, a small sieve is incorpo-
rated in the lower end of the shaft. If you should
notice reduced water pressure, please check the
sieve for any deposits. Remove the deposits, 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
build-up.
Press the on/off switch to turn off the irrigator.
To take off the irrigator jet, press the jet release
button (12), (see picture j, page 5). The jets can be
stored in the jet compartment (9). Wipe the handle
dry and place it back onto its base.
Cleaning recommendations
Regularly clean the housing with a damp cloth.
The water container and the jet compartment are
removable and dishwasher-safe.
