Description

interchangeable)
b On/off switch
c Handle
d Charging unit
Connecting and charging
Your toothbrush has a waterproof
handle, is electrically safe and
designed for use in the bathroom.
• Plug the charging unit (d) into an
electrical outlet. Place the handle (c)
on the charging unit. For voltage
specifications please refer to the
bottom of the charging unit.
• A full charge takes 16 hours and
enables approximately one week
of regular brushing (twice a day,
2 minutes).
• For everyday use, the handle can be
stored on the plugged-in charging
unit to maintain the toothbrush at full
power. Overcharging is impossible.
However for environmental reasons,
Oral-B recommends to unplug the
charging unit until the next recharge
is required.
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.
Using the toothbrush
Wet brush head (a) and apply tooth-
paste; you can use any kind of tooth-
paste. To avoid splashing, guide the
brush head to your teeth before
switching on the appliance (b). Slowly
guide the brush head from tooth to
tooth, spending a few seconds on
each tooth surface. Brush both gums
and teeth; first the outsides, then
the insides and finally the chewing
surfaces (picture 4, page 2). Brush at
least 2 minutes to thoroughly remove
plaque. Do not press too hard or
scrub. Turn off the handle by pressing
the on/off switch.
