Wall fastening

Fasten wall plugs and screws in the wall. However, turn screws into wall plugs only so far that screw heads can be stuck into the two openings

2 in the back of the charging unit

1. By pulling the charging unit 1 down, the screws will be fastened in the two slits over the screw openings 2.

You have to pull out only as much cord from the cord storage as you need to the mains plug.

Connecting

The charging unit 1 can be connected to any voltage outlet – even to shaver sockets – between 220 - 240 volts ac (~) without converting. Place the power unit 8, facing the front, on the charging base j.

The green charge indicator 6 will light up at 220 - 240 volts, whenever the power unit is inserted and recharging on the plugged-in charging unit. The power unit may warm up somewhat. This has no significance on the unit’s operation. Over-charging is impossible. To maintain your plaque remover’s full power capacity, the power unit should always be stored in the plugged-in charging unit after use.

Important: The power unit 8 switches off automatically when placed in the carging unit 1 to permit recharging. Make sure that there is electrical power in the

socket when you recharge your power unit. Sockets in mirror cabinets over wash basins or shaver sockets in bathrooms may be without electrical power when the light is turned off.

Switch

The power unit 8 is switched on and off by pressing the circular marking on the blue switch 7 (b).

When placed in the charging unit, the power unit is automatically switched off. The blue switch is waterproof and can be cleaned under running water.

Preserving the rechargeable batteries

To maximize the capacity and life of the rechargeable batteries, they should be fully charged (for 16 hours on 220 - 240 volts) before the first use and then fully discharged by using. Then recharge to full capacity again. This discharging/ charging procedure should be done every six months.

Use

After the power unit has been fully charged, attach one of the brushhead 4to the power unit (a). Before doing so, you may fix one of the coloured rings 3onto the end of the brushhead. The brushhead must face the same direction as the switch 7. The roll-stop 9 prevents the power unit 8 from rolling off a flat surface.

Before brushing your theeth, rinse your mouse thoroughly and wet the brushhead. You may use regular toothpaste. To avoid splashing,

switch the power unit on after guiding the brushhead to your teeth. Then, move the brushhead along the chewing surfaces of your teeth.

After that, hold the brushhead at a 90° angle and guide it along the outsides and then the insides of your teeth. Be sure to get into the spaces between your teeth as well as along the gumline. The Braun Oral-B Plak Remover will automatically provide the right cleaning action. You do not need to press hard. To thoroughly remove plaque, brush for at least 2 minutes.

After cleaning your teeth, rinse your mouth thoroughly again. During the first few days of using the Braun Oral-B Plaque Remover, your gums may bleed slightly, particularly if they normally tend to do so. After a few days, the bleeding will generally stop. If your gums continue to bleed after 2 weeks, you should see your dentist.

The brushes have soft, endrounded bristles in order to protect your gums. Clinical tests have shown that the best cleaning effect is achieved by gently moving the brush from tooth to tooth, without exerting pressure. A change in the shape of the brush is normal after use. This is influenced by your individual cleaning technique, but does not affect the efficiency of th brush.

INDICATOR brushheads

The INDIDCATOR brushhead (e / l) helps you monitor your brushing performance.

Dentists recommend that you replace any toothbrush every 3 to 4 months, since worn bristles do not clean plaque away as effectively as new ones. With proper brushing, twice a day for two minutes, the green colour will wear half-way down the bristles in this 3 to 4 month period, provided you use toothpaste (e / II).

If the bristles begin to splay before the green colour starts to recede it means that you are exerting too much pressure on your teeth and gums, and wearing out the brushhead too quickly (e / III).

The INDICATOR brushhead helps to improve your brushing performance, thus optimizing exceptional plaque removal and the life of the brushhead.

Replacement brushheads are available at your dealer or Braun

Service Centres.

Cleaning

To maintain the function of the brushhead 4 rinse thoroughly for several seconds with the power unit 8 switched on under running water (not warmer than 80 °C) after use

(c).

Clean the brushheads and the power unit by simply holding them under running water (d). Wipe the power unit dry. After cleaning place the power unit 8 back on the charging base j. The green charge indicator 6 will light up at 220 - 240 volts.
