CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. After use, empty any liquid remaining in the unit.
Note: If the unit is used with a mouthwash solution, a
full reservoir of water should be run through after each
use to rinse it and remove any traces of mouthwash.
2. Rinse the irrigator tip and the handle separately for
several seconds under running water. Note: Be sure to
point the handle downward (upside down) when
rinsing. Do not allow water to drain into the irrigator
handle.
3. After cleaning, place the irrigator tip back in the
covered storage and the handle on the base.
4. Unplug the unit.
5. Clean the base periodically with a soft cloth or paper
towel. The base must be dry before plugging it into an
electrical outlet.
