A B C D E F Brushhead On switch Off switch Handle Charging unit Wall holder

Specifications Power supply: see bottom of charging unit

Handle voltage: 1.2 V Connecting and charging The toothbrush is electrically safe and can be used in the bathroom without hesitation.

• Plug the charging unit into an electrical outlet. Place the handle on the charging unit. Handle must be switched off.

• A full charge takes 16 hours and will provide an operation time of approximately 20 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.

Battery maintenance To maintain the maximum capacity of the rechargeable battery, you must discharge it at least once every 6 months. To do this, unplug the charging unit and allow the battery to run down with normal use.

Using the toothbrush The toothbrush can be used with any toothpaste.

• To avoid splashing, guide the brushhead to your teeth before switching the appliance on.

• Slowly guide the brushhead 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 and finally the chewing surfaces.

• Do not press too hard or scrub, simply let the brush do all the work.

• To thoroughly remove plaque, brush for at least two minutes. During the first days of using the toothbrush, your gums may bleed slightly. In general, bleeding should stop after a few days. Should it persist after two weeks, please consult your dentist or hygienist. Dentists recommend that you replace any toothbrush every 3 months. Therefore, the brushhead is provided with INDICATOR® bristles (I.a). With proper brushing twice a day for two minutes, the color will disappear half-way down the bristles in a 3-month period (I.b), provided you use toothpaste. If the bristles splay before the color recedes ( I.c), you are exerting too much pressure on teeth and gums.

Replacement brushheads Available at retail stores or Braun Service Centers.

Cleaning After use, rinse the brushhead for several seconds under running water with the handle switched on (II ). Then switch off the handle and take off the brushhead. Rinse both parts separately under running water (III ) and wipe them dry. From time to time, also clean the charging unit with a damp cloth (IV).

Environmental notice This product contains nickelcadmium rechargeable batteries. In the interest of protecting the environment, do not dispose of the product in the household waste at the end of its useful life. Disposal can take place at a Braun Service Center. However, if you prefer to dispose of the battery yourself, please refer to the section «Battery removal». Subject to change without notice.
