Tingling
Your tongue cleaner is powered by Philips Sonicare technology, with
31,000 vibrations per minute to get your tongue squeaky clean. These
vibrations are safe for the tongue, but you may experience some
tingling as you adjust. This is a normal reaction and usually fades after
a week of use.
Gagging
Any form of tongue cleaning can elicit a gag reflex for new users. To
avoid triggering a gagging response, start slowly and only bring your
TongueCare+ Tongue brush as far back as is comfortable, working
your way deeper over time as you adjust.
Cleaning
You should clean your Philips Sonicare toothbrush regularly to
remove toothpaste and other residue. Failure to clean your Philips
Sonicare toothbrush may result in an unhygienic product and
damage to it may occur.
Warning: Do not clean brush heads, the handle or the charger in the
dishwasher.
Toothbrush handle
1 Remove the brush head and rinse the metal shaft area with warm
water. Make sure you remove any residual toothpaste (Fig. 14).
Caution: Do not push on the rubber seal on the metal shaft with
sharp objects, as this may cause damage.
2 Wipe the entire surface of the handle with a damp cloth.
Brush head
1 Rinse the brush head and bristles after each use (Fig. 15).
2 Remove the brush head from the handle and rinse the brush head
connection with warm water at least once a week. Rinse the travel
cap as often as needed.
Charger
1 Unplug the charger before you clean it.
