unit. There is no risk of overcharging.

Battery maintenance

To maintain the maximum capacity of
the rechargeable battery, unplug the
charging unit and discharge the handle
by regular use at least every 6 months.

Brushing technique

• Wet brush head and apply any kind
of toothpaste. To avoid splashing,
guide the brush head to your teeth
before switching on the appliance (B)
(2).
• When brushing your teeth with one
of the Oral-B oscillating-rotating
brush heads guide the brush head
slowly from tooth to tooth, spending
a few seconds on each tooth
surface.
• When using the Oral-B «TriZone»
brush head place the toothbrush
bristles against the teeth at a slight
angle towards the gumline. Apply
light pressure and start brushing in
back and forth motions, just like you
would do with a manual toothbrush.
• With any brush head start brushing
the outsides, then the insides and
finally the chewing surfaces. Brush
all four quadrants of your mouth
equally. Brush at least for 2 minutes.
Do not press too hard, simply let the
brush do all the work. You may also
consult your dentist or dental
hygienist about the right technique
for you (3).
In the first days of using any electric
toothbrush, your gums may bleed
slightly. In general, bleeding should
stop after a few days. Should it persist
after 2 weeks, please consult your
dentist or dental hygienist.
Timer (depending on model)
An incorporated timer memorises
the elapsed brushing time. A short
stuttering sound indicates the end
of the professionally recommended
2-minute brushing time.

With thorough brushing, twice a day
