Using your Oral-B® ProfessionalCare™
8500 OxyJet® irrigator
Before using for the first time, fill the water container and
allow the water to run through completely by holding the
irrigator handle over a washbasin.
1. Attach one of the irrigator jets to the handle until it locks
into place. Fill the water container with water and add
mouthwash, if desired.
2. Turn on the irrigator by pressing the on/off switch.
(When doing so, the handle switch should be in the lower
position = water stop).
3. Select the water pressure with the pressure control dial
(1 = gentle, 5 = strong). We recommend that you start with
setting 1, especially if your gums tend to bleed or if children
are using the irrigator.
4. Bend over a washbasin and guide the jet to your teeth
and gums. Slide the handle switch ® up to start the water
stream. Keep your mouth slightly open to allow the water
to run into the washbasin.
You can choose between two different jet functions by sliding
the jet switch ® down or up (before doing so, turn off the
water stream by sliding the handle switch ® down):
Rotating stream: for general cleaning and gum massage
(jet switch in lower position): The rotation of the water stream
and its micro-bubbles is designed for easy penetration below
the gumline.
Mono stream: straight water stream for site-specific cleaning
(jet switch in upper position).
Max. operating time: 15 minutes
Cooling off time: 2 hours
To ensure the jet functions, a small sieve is incorporated in
the lower end of the shaft. Should you notice a reduced water
pressure, check the sieve for any deposits and remove them,
e.g. by carefully tapping the shaft on a flat surface.
