Note: To keep the battery fully charged at all times, you may keep the Sonicare on
the charger when not in use. It takes at least 24 hours to fully charge the battery.
Using the appliance
Brushing instructions
1
Wet the bristles and apply a small amount of toothpaste.
2
Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle
towards the gumline (Fig. 4).
3
Press the power on/off button to switch on the Sonicare.
Note: In order to avoid toothpaste splatter, please make sure the toothbrush
is in contact with your teeth before you switch on the Sonicare.
4
Apply light pressure to maximise Sonicare's effectiveness and let
the Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you.
5
Gently move the brush head slowly across the teeth in a small back
and forth motion so the longer bristles reach between your teeth.
Continue this motion throughout your brushing cycle.
Note: To make sure you brush evenly throughout the mouth, divide your
mouth into 4 sections using the Quadpacer feature (see chapter 'Features').
6
Brush each section for 30 seconds for a total brushing time
of 2 minutes. Start with section 1 (outside top teeth) and then
brush section 2 (inside top teeth). Continue with section 3
(outside bottom teeth) and finally brush section 4 (inside
bottom teeth) (Fig. 5).
7
After you have completed the brushing cycle, you can spend
additional time brushing the chewing surfaces of your teeth and
areas where staining occurs. You may also brush your tongue,
with the toothbrush switched on or off, as you prefer (Fig. 6).
The Sonicare is safe to use on:
-
Braces (brush heads wear out sooner when used on braces)
-
Dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers)
