CLEANING AND TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR WATERPIK® WATER FLOSSER
Using Mouthwash and Other Solutions
Your Waterpik® Water Flosser can be used to deliver mouthwash and antibacterial solutions. After
using any special solution, rinse unit to prevent clogging by partially filling reservoir with warm water
and running unit with tip pointed into sink until unit is empty.
Cleaning
Never immerse unit in water. Before cleaning, unplug from the electrical outlet. Clean the product
when necessary by using a soft cloth and mild non-abrasive cleanser to wipe exterior.
The water reservoir is removable for easy cleaning and is top rack dishwasher safe. It is recommended
that the reservoir is removed and cleaned weekly.
Removing Hard Water Deposits / General Cleaning
Hard water deposits may build up in your unit, depending on the mineral content of your water. If left
unattended, it can hinder performance.
Cleaning internal parts: add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to a full reservoir of warm water. Point the
handle and tip into sink. Turn unit ON and run until reservoir is empty. Rinse by repeating with a full
reservoir of clean warm water.
This process should be done every 1 to 3 months to ensure optimal performance.

The unit will not charge if the switch is in the ON (I) 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 (six months or more), be sure to
fully charge it prior to storage. 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
