As a safety feature, this product does not operate if the Foot Control is depressed when the Chamber is mounted incorrectly. An
alarm sounds heard and the tooth icon and "POWDER" flash alternately. Mount the Chamber correctly.
CAUTION
The Perio-Mate Powder (option) scatters easily because it is made of very fine particles. Fill the Chamber slowly to prevent the

FLASH pearl is almost insoluble in water. To avoid clogging of the pipes by using FLASH pearl, periodical cleaning and
maintenance of the vacuum hose, saliva ejector and separator are necessary.
