Using in the bathroom

Your toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe and can be used in the bathroom without hesitation.

Oral hygiene

Careful oral hygiene is essential for maintaining healthy, beautiful teeth.

Daily intensive oral hygiene can prevent tooth decay, gum disease, inflammation of the gums and bad breath.

Cleaning

The sonic electric toothbrush removes plaque more precisely and effectively than conventional manual toothbrushes due to the high speed of the brushing movements on the surface of the teeth.

Extremely fast sonic vibrations with 37,000 strokes per minute allow a perfect cleaning result.

Discolouration of the teeth from coffee, tea or tobacco can be removed in a natural way. Teeth, tongue and gums can be cleaned and cared for carefully.

Intensity

You can set the intensity of the cleaning at 3 modes (HIGH, LOW, MASSAGE).

The extensive accessories provide you with excellent conditions for personal oral hygiene.

Brushing time

The recommended time for brushing is 2 minutes. The timer then stops the function automatically.

Accessories

1 Floss

The floss attachment can be equipped regularly with standard floss.

It is best to use this attachment after brushing your teeth.

Set the appliance to the low mode, so you have more control over the cleaning.

2 Tongue cleaner

The tongue cleaner freshens your breath as it removes the bacteria from the tongue which create bad breath. You can use it every day before or after brushing your teeth and also with mouthwash.

Set the appliance to the low mode, so you have more control over the cleaning.

The back is also equipped with a rubberised tongue cleaner so the tongue can be cleaned with two different attachments.

3 Interdental brush

The interdental brush cleans effectively between the teeth and helps to improve oral hygiene. This should be done before you clean your teeth.

Set the appliance to the low mode, so you have more control over the cleaning.

4 Detachable storage container

If you only want to use the charging base without the storage container, you can remove the container by unscrewing the 2 screws at the bottom, before the rubber dots have to be removed.

Charging

Check that the mains voltage on the type plate of the charging unit (on the bottom) corresponds to your local mains supply.

1 Place the toothbrush on the charging unit G.

2 Plug the charging unit into the wall socket.

• The charge LED C on the appliance lights up red and the mode LEDs D, E, F light up blue respectively until the appliance is fully charged.
• Once the appliance is fully charged, the charge LED lights up green and mode LEDs disappear.

Notes

• Charge the batteries fully before you use the appliance for the first time. It takes approximately 24 hours (12 hours charging time afterwards) to charge them initially. When the appliance is fully charged, the charge LED ⓒ lights up green.

■ The ambient temperature should be between 5 °C and 40 °C.

- When the batteries are fully charged, they provide approximately 45 minutes of operation. The charging process ends automatically once the batteries are fully charged. We recommend keeping the appliance in the charging unit so that it is available fully charged at all times.

1 Press On/Off and mode switch B to switch on the appliance. - HIGH mode LED lights up blue and the appliance starts in HIGH mode. 2 Press On/Off and mode switch B consecutively to select a mode. - LOW mode LED E lights up blue after pressing B once in HIGH mode. - MASSAGE mode LED F lights up blue after pressing B twice in HIGH mode. 3 Press On/Off and mode switch B to switch off the appliance, regardless of the mode selected. - The appliance switches off after MASSAGE mode LED disappears.

The 2 minute timer

Regardless of the mode selected, after 2 minutes the appliance switches off automatically. Every 30 seconds the appliance gives a vibration signal for your timing.

Changing the attachments

1 Remove the current attachment from the holder by turning it in the reverse direction of the arrows on the attachment and the holder.

2 Take the other attachment out of the storage container for brushing and cleaning attachments H. 3 Place the attachment on the holder. Make sure that the notches of the holder match the attachment. Turn the attachment in the same direction of the arrows until it fits well into place.

Note

■ Replace the brush head when the bristles become bent and distorted and the wear indicator becomes brighter at the side. We recommend you to do this every 4 months.

General information

1 Brush your teeth:

• in the morning after breakfast
• after mealtimes and after snacking
• in the evening before bed for at least 2 minutes.

2 Rinse the brush under running water for a few seconds until it is thoroughly moist.

Note

■ Rinse your mouth out with water before brushing your teeth. 3 Put your regular toothpaste on the brush. Do not use special whitening toothpaste, because the abrasive particles in combination with the high vibration could damage the enamel on the teeth.

Brushing your teeth – step by step

1 Before switching on, position the bristles (medium or soft) of the brush head at an angle of 45° onto the gum line so that the longer bristles reach between the teeth. 2 Tilt the handle slightly so that the bristles are resting at an angle on the gum line.

Note

■ Cleaning the area between the teeth and gums is extremely important. 3 Hold the handle loosely in your fingers and switch the appliance on with On/Off and mode switch B. 4 Gently move the vibrating brush head in small circles to allow the longer bristles to get to the gaps between the teeth. After a few seconds, move to the next section and repeat the circular movements again for a few seconds.

5 Continue in the same way for all the teeth within the 2 minutes to thoroughly remove plaque.

Notes

■ The toothbrush works best if you apply slight pressure when brushing and continue with the circular movements at the same time. The tilted brush head and the narrow neck make it easier to reach the molars at the back and the surface of the teeth inside the mouth. Hold the toothbrush so that you have as much brush contact to the teeth as possible. 6 To ensure that all your teeth are cleaned evenly, the mouth can be divided into six sections:

1 Exterior upper jaw 2 Chewing surface upper jaw 3 Interior upper jaw 4 Exterior lower jaw 5 Chewing surface lower jaw 6 Interior lower jaw

7 Clean the tongue with the toothbrush switched on or off and using the tongue cleaner provided separately or the back of the brush head.

Apply slight pressure on the brush and scrape it forwards from the back - then rinse out.

Note

In some cases you might experience a tickling or tingling sensation when using an electric sonic toothbrush for the first time. This sensation gradually subsides once you have got used to the sonic toothbrush. 8 Rinse your mouth out with water after brushing. 9 Rinse the bristles under running water after brushing to remove any remaining toothpaste. Dry the bristles. Leave the toothbrush to dry for a few seconds.

Notes

■ We also recommend using a mouth wash. - Consult your dentist if you feel any sensitivity while using the appliance for the first time.

Storage
