How to use

1

Rinse the dentures under fast-flowing water from the faucet to remove visible food particles. Brushing with a toothbrush while rinsing is even better.

2

Fill the chamber with water and add a tablespoonful of vinegar. Other proprietary denture cleansers may also be used.

3

Run the longest cycle: 480 seconds (8 minutes). Additional cycles will not harm the dentures.

4

Use once every 24 hours. Most appliances can be left soaking in the chamber overnight — except for dentures with a temporary soft liner installed.

5

Unplug the unit after each use.

Dentures with temporary soft liners

Do not leave dentures with a temporary soft liner soaking in the chamber overnight. Remove them after the cleaning cycle is complete.

A note on cleaning the unit

The manufacturer’s instructions recommend emptying and cleaning the unit after each use. Be sure to at least unplug the device after every use.
