Using Your Toothbrush; Brushing Technique; Brushing Modes (Depending On Model); Pressure Sensor - Braun Oral-B 1000 Owner's Manual

• For everyday use, the toothbrush handle can be stored on the
plugged-in charging unit to maintain it at full power. Overcharging
is impossible.
However, for environmental reasons, Oral-B recommends to
unplug the charger until the next recharge is required.
• To maintain the maximum capacity of the rechargeable battery,
unplug the charging unit and fully discharge the handle with
regular use at least every 6 months.
Please note: If the charge indicator light is not flashing immediately,
continue charging. It will appear in 10–15 minutes.

Using your toothbrush

Brushing technique

Wet brush head and apply toothpaste; you can use any kind of
toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth
before switching on the appliance (picture 2). Guide the brush head
slowly from tooth to tooth, spending a few seconds on each tooth
surface. Brush the gums as well as the teeth, first the outsides, then
the insides, finally the chewing surfaces (picture 5). Do not press
too hard or scrub.
In the first few 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.

Brushing modes (depending on model)

«Daily Clean»
«Sensitive»
(model D20.524.2N/
D20.535.3N)
«Whitening»
(model D20.535.3N)
How to switch between modes:
• When pressing the on/off button (c) your toothbrush automatically
starts in the «Daily Clean» mode.
• To switch to the «Sensitive» and «Whitening» mode, successively
press the on/off button.
• To turn off your toothbrush from the «Whitening» mode, push the
on/off button once more.
• If you wish to turn off your toothbrush from the «Daily Clean» or
«Sensitive» mode, push and hold down the on/off button until the
motor stops.

Pressure Sensor

Protecting your teeth and gums from hard brushing, your toothbrush
has a pressure control feature installed. If too much pressure is
applied, the red pressure sensor light (b) will light reminding you to
reduce pressure (picture 3). In addition you will also hear a different
sound while brushing. Periodically check the operation of the
pressure sensor by pressing lightly on the brush head during use.
Professional Timer
A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals reminds you to brush
equally all four quadrants of your mouth. A long stuttering sound
indicates the end of the professionally recommended 2-minute
brushing time (picture 4). The elapsed brushing time is memorised,
even when the handle is briefly switched off during brushing. When
pausing longer than 30 seconds the timer resets.

Brush heads

Oral-B offers you a variety of different Oral-B brush heads that fit
your Oral-B toothbrush handle.
