Connecting and charging
Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe and
designed for use in the bathroom.
• Plug the basic charger (f) or the assembled charging unit (see
picture B, page 2) into an electrical outlet and place the tooth-
brush handle (c) on the charging unit.
• The green charge indicator light (d) flashes while the handle is
being charged. Once it is fully charged, the green charge indicator
light shines continuously for 5 seconds; then it turns off. A full
charge takes at least 17 hours and enables approximately one
week of regular brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes).
• When the rechargeable battery is low, the red low charge indicator
light (e) starts flashing after turning off the toothbrush.
• For everyday use, the toothbrush handle can be stored on the
charging unit to maintain it at full power. Overcharging is impos-
sible. However for environmental reasons, Oral-B recommends to
unplug the charging unit 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
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. 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 (see picture 5, page 2). Do not
press too hard or scrub.
Pressure Sensor
To promote optimal brushing your toothbrush has a pressure
control feature installed. If too much pressure is applied, the
oscillating movement of the brush head will continue but the
pulsation will stop. In addition you will also hear a different sound
while brushing.
Professional Timer
A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals reminds you to brush
all four quadrants of your mouth equally (see picture 4, page 2).
A long stuttering sound indicates the end of the professionally
recommended 2-minute brushing time. The elapsed brushing time is
memorised when the handle is briefly switched off during brushing.
When pausing longer than 30 seconds the timer resets.
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.
Individual brush heads and accessories
Braun Oral-B Precision Clean brush head
The Oral-B Precision Clean brush head features
outstanding oscillating-rotating action to effectively
clean your teeth, clean along the gumline and in hard-
to-reach areas such as behind teeth.
Braun Oral-B Sensitive brush head
The Braun Oral-B Sensitive brush head provides
thorough cleaning for sensitive teeth and gums. It has
an extra soft bristle texture that is gentle on teeth and
gums.
Braun Oral-B 3D WHITE brush head
The Braun Oral-B 3D WHITE brush head is specifically
designed to polish and naturally whiten your teeth by
removing surface stains that can come from coffee, tea
and tobacco. We do not recommend using the Braun
Oral-B 3D WHITE brush head with braces. Children
under 12 years old should not use the Braun Oral-B 3D WHITE
brush head.
All brush heads feature blue INDICATOR bristles to help you
monitor brush head replacement need. With thorough brushing,
twice a day for two minutes, the blue color will fade halfway
approximately within 3 months, signalling it is time to change the
brush head (see picture 1, page 2).
Cleaning recommendations
After brushing, rinse your brush head or accessory carefully under
running water for some seconds with the handle switched on.
Switch off the handle and remove the brush head or accessory.
Clean both parts separately under running water then wipe them
dry before reassembling the toothbrush. Disassemble the charging
unit before cleaning. The brush head holder is dishwasher-safe.
Never place the charger in dishwasher or water; it should be
cleaned with a damp cloth only (see picture 6, page 2).
Subject to change without notice.
