Danger

- Keep the charger and/or sanitiser away from water. Do not place or store it over or near water contained in a bathtub, washbasin, sink etc. Do not immerse the charger and/or sanitiser in water or any other liquid. After cleaning, make sure the charger and/or sanitiser is completely dry before you connect it to the mains.

Warning

• The mains cord cannot be replaced. If the mains cord is damaged, discard the charger and/or sanitiser.
• Always have the charger and/or sanitiser replaced with one of the original type in order to avoid a hazard.
• Do not use the charger and/or sanitiser outdoors or near heated surfaces. Do not operate the sanitiser where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.
• The appliance is suitable for mains voltages ranging from 100 to 240 volts.
• If the appliance is damaged in any way (brush head, toothbrush handle, charger and/or sanitiser), stop using it. This appliance contains no serviceable parts. If the appliance is damaged, contact the

ENGLISH

Consumer Care Centre in your country (see chapter 'Guarantee and support').

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Discontinue use of the sanitiser if the UV light bulb remains on when the door is open. UV light can be harmful to the human eye and skin. Keep the sanitiser out of the reach of children at all times.

Caution

• Do not clean the brush head, the handle, the charger and/or the sanitiser in the dishwasher.
• If you have had oral or gum surgery in the previous 2 months, consult your dentist before you use the toothbrush.
• Consult your dentist if excessive bleeding occurs after using this toothbrush or if bleeding continues to occur after 1 week of use. Also consult your dentist if you experience discomfort or pain when you use the Sonicare.
• The Sonicare toothbrush complies with the safety standards for electromagnetic devices. If you have a pacemaker or other implanted device, contact your physician or the device manufacturer of the implanted device prior to use.

- The Sonicare toothbrush is a personal care device and is not intended for use on multiple patients in a dental practice or institution.

- Stop using a brush head with crushed or bent bristles. Replace the brush head every 3 months or sooner if signs of wear appear.

- Do not use other brush heads than the ones recommended by the manufacturer.

- If your toothpaste contains peroxide, baking soda or bicarbonate (common in whitening toothpastes), thoroughly clean the brush head with soap and water after each use. This prevents possible cracking of the plastic.

- Do not insert objects into the air openings of the sanitiser or block these air openings by placing it on a soft surface or in a position or location where objects will block these openings (examples of objects: magazine, tissue paper and hair).

- The UV light bulb is hot during and immediately after the sanitising cycle. Do not touch the UV light bulb when it is hot.

- Do not operate the sanitiser without the protective screen in place to avoid contact with a hot bulb.

• 1 yellow LED indicates a low charge.
• 3 green LEDs indicate a full charge.

Note: If you hear a long beep and the yellow LED of the battery level indicator flashes, your toothbrush is completely empty and switches off. Place the toothbrush on the charger to recharge it.

Note: To keep the battery fully charged at all times, you may keep your Sonicare on the charger when not in use.

Easy-start

The Easy-start feature gently increases power over the first 14 brushings to ease into the Sonicare experience. The Easy-start feature only works in the Clean mode and at the High intensity level.
