Using your Philips Sonicare

Brushing instructions

1 Push the brush head firmly onto the handle. Wet the bristles and apply toothpaste.

Note: It is normal to see a slight gap between the brush head and the handle. This allows the brush head to vibrate properly.

2 Place the toothbrush bristles against the teeth at a slight angle (45 degrees), apply light pressure to make the bristles reach the gumline or slightly beneath the gumline.

Note: Keep the center of the brush head in contact with the teeth at all times.

3 Press the power on/off button to turn on the Philips Sonicare.

4 Apply light pressure to maximize Philips Sonicare's effectiveness and let the Philips Sonicare toothbrush do the brushing for you. Gently move the brush head slowly across the teeth in a small back and forth motion so the longer bristles reach between your teeth. Continue this motion throughout the brushing cycle.

Note: Different modes are available (see 'Brushing modes').

5 To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, tilt the brush handle semi-upright and make several vertical overlapping brushing strokes on each tooth.

Note:

• A change in vibration from the handle alerts you when you apply too much pressure (see 'Pressure sensor').
• Your Philips Sonicare toothbrush is safe to use on braces, dental modifications and dental restorations (fillings, crowns, veneers)
• Do not use your power toothbrush in the shower.

2 Remove and discard the brush head. Cover the entire handle with a towel or cloth.

3 Hold the top of the handle with one hand and strike the handle housing 0.5 inch above the bottom end. Strike firmly with a hammer on all 4 sides to eject the end cap.
