CARE OF YOUR WATERPIK
®
WATER FLOSSER
Never immerse the unit in water. Wipe the exterior when necessary with a
soft cloth and mild non-abrasive cleanser. Reservoir may be washed with
soapy water or in top rack of dishwasher.
Before cleaning, unplug from the electrical outlet.
Before exposing the Water Flosser to freezing temperatures, remove the
reservoir and run the unit until completely empty.
Battery Care
Before first use, charge for 24 hours to obtain full charge.
To charge your Water Flosser, plug the cord into any standard electrical
outlet. Make sure you push the switch into the ‘OFF’ position before
charging. The unit will not charge if the switch is in the ‘ON’ position.
If you use your Water Flosser once a day or less, it is recommended
you charge it overnight, once a week. If you use it twice a day or more,
charge the unit more frequently. Do not run the batteries down completely
as this may shorten the lifespan of the batteries and will require charging
the unit for 24 hours to obtain a full charge.
If the Water Flosser is to be stored for an extended period of time, charge
it for 24 hours before storing. Never store the Water Flosser for extended
periods unless it is fully charged. To maximize the lifespan of the batteries
the battery charger may be kept connected to the unit continuously, except
for when the product is in use.
Battery disposal
The unit contains a Nickel Metal Hydride battery. At the end of the battery
life, please recycle the unit at your nearest recycle center per local or state
requirements. The battery is not replaceable.
