Important READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE AND SAVE THEM FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. Sonicare\ has been carefully engineered for both effectiveness and safety.
ENGLISH 5 Medical warnings 1) Avoid using a brush head with crushed or bent bristles. Damaged bristles may break off while brushing. In order to prevent this, replace the brush head with a new one every 6 months or sooner if signs of wear appear. 2) Similar to starting with any new manual or electric oral hygiene product, consult your dental professional before using this product if you have had oral or gum surgery in the previous 2 months.
ENGLISH C 1 To charge your Sonicare, place the handle in the charger base with the Sonicare logo facing towards you to ensure the handle properly fits (slots) in the charger. Once the handle is placed in the charger base, the power button light should illuminate or blink to indicate charging is taking place. Do not attempt to force the handle into the charger; this will cause damage.
ENGLISH 7 Tips for special needs Stain removal In areas where excess staining occurs, spend extra brushing time to assist with stain removal. C Braces ◗ The brush should be placed at an angle between your brackets and gumline. Using light pressure, gently move the bristles in a small circular motion so the longer bristles reach between your teeth for 2 seconds.
ENGLISH 8 C 5 To maximize Sonicare's effectiveness use light pressure and let the Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you. Do not scrub. 6 To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide your mouth into 4 sections: outside top, inside top, outside bottom and inside bottom teeth. Begin brushing in section 1 (outside top teeth) and brush for 30 seconds before moving to section 2 (inside top teeth).
ENGLISH 9 The Easy-start feature should be deactivated when Sonicare is used in clinical trials. Smartimer\ 2-minute timer ◗ All Sonicare models come with the Smartimer feature, which automatically sets the brushing time to the 2 minutes recommended by dental professionals. ◗ If you wish to pause or stop brushing during your 2-minute cycle, press the power button. Press the power button again and the Smartimer will pick up where you left off.
ENGLISH Cleaning By following these simple steps, you should get years of worry-free brushing: C 1 Rinse brush head and bristles after each use. C 2 Clean the brush head at least once per week, including under the nut. C 3 Clean and dry the handle periodically. 4 Clean the charger base periodically. Unplug the charger before cleaning. After cleaning the charger base completely dry the charger before plugging it into an electrical outlet.
ENGLISH 11 Please note that this process is not reversible. To help protect our environment, we encourage you to recycle at approved recycling locations. Do not dispose of the batteries in normal household waste. Removing the batteries To remove the batteries yourself, you will need a flat-head (standard) screwdriver and a small towel. Basic safety precautions should be observed when following the procedure outlined below.
ENGLISH C 6 Insert the screwdriver underneath the electronic circuit board in multiple places. C 7 Twist and pry the electronic circuit board loose until it is completely separated from the handle. C 8 Pry the 2 AA-sized cylindrical nickel-cadmium batteries loose by inserting the screwdriver on the sides of the two batteries in the locations shown in the figure. C 9 Use a twisting and prying motion to break the glue bond on the inside of the handle plastic and underneath the batteries.
