HOW TO USE POWERDENT ORAL IRRIGATOR
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not change the plug in anyway.
- Plug the cord into any standard electrical outlet. If a wall switch controls the outlet, be sure it is turned on.
- Remove the reservoir. When removing reservoir use one hand to firmly hold the base ➀ of the unit in place, and with the other hand, lift the reservoir straight up. Fill with lukewarm water. Reinstall the reservoir onto the unit.Note: Prior to initial use, rinse the unit by letting a full reservoir of water pass through it. If the unit is used with a mouthwash solution, it should be rinsed with clean water after each use to remove any traces of mouthwash. If the unit has not been used for an extended period of time, to maintain hygiene it is recommended that you follow the directions for initial use, letting a full reservoir of water pass through.
- Select an irrigator tip ➇ for your personal use (tips are color-coded for multiple users). Lift the irrigator handle ➂ out of the base and attach the irrigator tip to the handle so that the colored tip is facing the same direction as the water stop switch (Figure 1).
Note: PowerDent Oral Irrigator comes with 4 color-coded irrigator tips for multiple users. - Adjust the pressure control on the base unit to minimum pressure (turn clockwise) for first-time use. Gradually increase the pressure over time until you find the setting most comfortable to you.
- Before turning the unit on, check that the water stop switch ➄ on the handle is in the off position (away from the tip). After turning the unit on by pressing the on/off button ➉ on the base unit, lean over the sink and position the tip in your mouth. Move the water stop switch to on (towards the tip) to begin the cleaning and massage process.Note: Keep your mouth slightly open and hold your elbow at mouth level so that the water can run back into the sink.
- Direct the flow along the gumline (Figure 2) and also between your teeth. Do not point the irrigator tip directly at your gums. For best results, begin with your back teeth and work forward. Consult your dental professional for further recommendations on use.
- To adjust the flow of the water from a stream to the hydromassage spray (or spray to stream), rotate the colored irrigator tip (Figure 3). Use the stream for more pinpoint cleaning and the hydromassage spray for a more general cleaning and massage.Note: To avoid splashing, adjust the flow from stream to spray while the unit is out of your mouth, over the sink and pointed down into the sink.
- When finished, move the water stop switch to the off position and turn off the unit. Remove the irrigator tip by pressing the release button ➅ and replace in the covered storage. Empty any liquid remaining in the unit. Unplug the unit.Note: NEVER leave the unit “On” when not in use. Water pressure will continue to build and may cause damage to the unit. You must turn the water stop switch ➄ and the On/Off Button ➉ to the Off position when not in use.
Note: PowerDent Oral Irrigator comes with 4 color-coded irrigator tips for multiple users.
Note: We recommend soaking the irrigator tip in a denture cleaner (commercially available) every 2 to 4 weeks to keep it hygienically clean.
Caution: All servicing of this unit must be performed by authorized HoMedics service personnel only.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
- 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.
- 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.
- After cleaning, place the irrigator tip back in the covered storage and the handle on the base.
- Unplug the unit.
- Clean the base periodically with a soft cloth or paper towel. The base must be dry before plugging it into an electrical outlet.
MEDICAL SAFEGUARDS
Please note the following safeguards for your continued safety.
- Similar to starting any new oral hygiene product, contact your dentist before using PowerDent Oral Irrigator if you had oral or periodontal surgery.
- Contact your dentist if excessive bleeding occurs or if bleeding continues after 2 weeks.
Caution: Opening the handle will destroy the appliance and invalidate the warranty.
