Using Your Toothbrush - Braun Oral-B Pro 1000 Manual

Charging and Operating
Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe and
designed for use in the bathroom.
• You may use your toothbrush right away or charge it briefly by
placing it on the plugged-in charger (g).
Note: In case the battery is empty (no charging light illuminated (e/f)
while charging or no reaction when pressing the on/off button (c)),
charge at least for 30 minutes.
• The green charge indicator light (e) flashes while the handle is being
charged. Once it is fully charged, the light turns off. A full charge
takes typically 12 hours and enables at least 2 weeks of regular
brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes) (picture 1).
Note: After deep discharge, the charge indicator light might not flash
immediately; it can take up to 30 minutes.
• If the battery is running low, the red charge indicator light (f) is
flashing for a few seconds when turning your toothbrush on/off and
the motor is reducing its speed. Once the battery is empty, the motor
will stop; it will need at least a 30-minute charge for one usage.
• You can always store the handle on the plugged-in charging unit; a
battery overcharge is prevented by device.
Note: Store handle at room temperature for optimal battery
maintenance.
Caution: Do not expose handle to temperatures higher than 50 °C.
Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 5°C to 35°C.

Using your toothbrush

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
(picture 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 (picture
5). 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 do not forget to brush all 3 surfaces of your teeth:
chewing, outer and inner surfaces. Brush all four quadrants of your
mouth equally. You may also consult your dentist or dental hygienist
about the right technique for you.
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. If you have sensitive teeth and/or gums, Oral-B recommends
using the «Sensitive» mode (depending on model) (optional in
combination with an Oral-B «Sensitive» brush head).

How to switch between modes:
Your toothbrush automatically starts in the «Daily Clean» mode.
To switch to other modes, successively press the on/off button. Switch
off the toothbrush by holding the on/off button until the motor stops.
Professional Timer
A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals reminds you to
brush all four quadrants of your mouth equally (picture 3). A long
stuttering sound indicates the end of the professionally
recommended 2-minute brushing time.
If the toothbrush is turned off during brushing, the elapsed brushing
time will be memorised for 30 seconds. When pausing longer than 30
seconds the timer resets.
Pressure sensor
If too much pressure is applied, the pressure sensor light (b)
(depending on model) will light up in red, notifying you to reduce
pressure. In addition the pulsation of the brush head will stop and the
oscillation movement of the brush head will be reduced (during «Daily
Clean», and «Sensitive» mode) (picture 4).
Periodically check the operation of the pressure sensor by pressing
moderately on the brush head during use.
