Operation Manual

The handles of other Sonicare models do not fit in this charger and will

therefore not charge effectively. Do not attempt to force a handle into

this charger, as this will cause damage.

Using the appliance

Useful tips

◗ We advise you to use gel toothpastes to ensure optimal

performance.

◗ Place the brush head in your mouth before switching the

appliance on and keep your mouth closed during brushing to

prevent splattering of toothpaste.

◗ You may experience a slight tickling or tingling sensation when

using an electronic toothbrush such as the Sonicare for the first

time.As you become accustomed to brushing with the Sonicare,

this sensitivity will diminish.

◗ A fully charged Sonicare allows you brush your teeth for 2

minutes twice a day for approximately 2 weeks without charging,

making it easy to travel without the charger.

Brushing technique

1 Before switching the Sonicare on, place the bristles of the

brush head on your gumline at a 45-degree angle.

2 Hold the handle with a light grip, switch the Sonicare on and

gently move the bristles in a small circular motion so that the

longer bristles reach between your teeth.After a few seconds,

pass the bristles to the next section. Continue this routine

throughout the 2-minute brushing cycle.

3 To maximise the effectiveness of the Sonicare toothbrush, use

light pressure and let the Sonicare do the brushing for you.

Do not scrub.

4 To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide

your mouth into 4 sections: outside upper teeth, inside upper

teeth, outside lower teeth and inside lower teeth. Begin

brushing the first section (outside upper teeth) and brush for

30 seconds before moving to the next section (inside upper

teeth). Continue brushing the other two sections for 30

seconds each until you have completed the 2-minute brushing

cycle.

5 After the 2-minute brushing cycle, you can switch the Sonicare

briefly back on again to brush the chewing surfaces of your

teeth.

Press the on/off button to switch the Sonicare on or off as needed.
