Connecting and char

ging

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

• Plug the charging unit (e) into an electrical outlet and place

the toothbrush handle (c) on the charging unit.

• The blue charge indicator (d) flashes while the handle is

being charged. If you then use your brush and place it back on the charging unit, the charging light will again flash to let you know it is charging.

• When the handle is fully charged, the charge indicator

shines continuously. A full charge takes at least 16 hours and enables approximately two weeks of regular brushing.

• When the rechargeable battery is running low, your

toothbrush will slow down, then stop.

• For everyday use, the toothbrush handle can be stored on

the charging unit to maintain it at full power. Overcharging is impossible.

• To maintain the maximum capacity of the rechargeable

battery, unplug the charging unit and fully discharge the handle by regular use at least every 6 months.

Specifications

Refer to the bottom of the charging unit for voltage specifications.

Using your toothbr

ush

Attach one of the brushheads (1–3) to the handle. They can be used with any kind of toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the brushhead to your teeth before switching the appliance on.

Customized Speed Control Oral-B ProfessionalCare 8000 series offers a variable range

of speeds to best meet your individual needs. High speed is ideal for tooth and gumline cleaning. For cleaning sensitive teeth and gum tissue as well as precision use of the accessories (4 and 5), we recommend using a lower speed.

• Press the on/off button once to operate at maximum speed.

• Continue to hold the on/off button to shift from the highest speed to the Customized Speed Control mode.

• As long as you keep the on/off button pressed, the handle will continuously run through all speed levels.

• Release the on/off button to brush at your preferred speed level.

• Push the on/off button once more to turn the toothbrush off.

• If you then turn it on again you will automatically come back to the maximum speed level.

Ultimate Plaque Removal For cleaner teeth and healthier, firmer gums, Oral-B ProfessionalCare 8000 series gently cleans in areas where

plaque bacteria can collect. It removes up to 97 % of plaque from hard-to-reach areas, prevents build-up of tartar and is gentle on teeth and gums.

Brushing technique:

• Guide the brushhead slowly from tooth to tooth.

• Hold the brushhead in place for a few seconds before moving on to the next tooth.

• Brush the gums as well as the teeth, first the outsides, then the insides, finally the chewing surfaces.

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

Pressure Sensor For optimal brushing results Oral-B ProfessionalCare 8000 series has a pressure control feature to ensure that the right

degree of pressure is applied. This helps protect your gums from excessive brushing and makes your toothbrush easy to operate. If too much pressure is applied, the oscillating movement of the brushhead will continue but the pulsation will stop. In addition to feeling it, you can also hear a different sound.

Professional Timer

A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals, which you can hear and feel, reminds you to brush the four quadrants of your mouth equally for a better overall clean.

2-Minute Timer

A long stuttering sound indicates when the dentist recommended 2-minute brushing time has been reached.

During the first few days of using the toothbrush, your gums may bleed slightly. In general, bleeding should stop after a few days. Should it persist after 2 weeks, please consult your dentist or hygienist.

Individual br

accessories

The Oral-B ProfessionalCare 8000 series offers you a variety of brushheads and accessories, allowing you to select those which best meet your individual needs. They are all designed for daily use:

1 FlexiSoft

The FlexiSoft and pulsating action to effectively clean your teeth, clean along the gumline and in hard-to-reach areas such as behind teeth. The compact round brushhead surrounds each tooth for a complete clean. The green FlexiSoft bristles bend, enabling both gentle brushing and deeper reach of the blue Interdental Tips between teeth. Apply the brushing technique as described in the section «Ultimate Plaque Removal».

2 Oral-B PowerPolisher™ brushhead (not with all models)

The PowerPolisher brushhead is specifically designed to polish and whiten your teeth by removing stains from coffee, tea and tobacco. It features the superior oscillating and pulsating head action of the FlexiSoft effectively clean teeth, combined with the special polishing cup for effective brightening.

Apply the same brushing technique as described in the section «Ultimate Plaque Removal». We do not recommend using the PowerPolisher brushhead with braces.

3 Oral-B DualAction™ brushhead (not with all models)

180°

The DualAction brushhead offers two types of cleaning motion in one. It combines the superior oscillating and pulsating motion with an additional side-to-side motion, for more cleaning action. The oscillating motion stimulates gums while removing plaque and bacteria. Multi-angled bristles clean between teeth and below the gumline. The larger brushhead results in increased freshening sensation.

With this brushhead you can either move from tooth to tooth or apply the same brushing technique as with any manual toothbrush.

All three brushheads feature blue INDICATOR

bristles to help you monitor brushhead replacement need. With thorough brushing, twice a day for two minutes, the blue color will fade halfway within 3 months, signaling it is time to change the brushhead.

4 Tongue Freshener (not with all models)

The Tongue Freshener freshens breath by removing odorcausing bacteria from the tongue. It can be used everyday – before or after brushing. You can use mouthwash with the Tongue Freshener.

Attach it to the handle, turn the appliance on and drag it across the tongue from back to front. We recommend a low speed setting for enhanced control during use. Rinse after use. Replace the Tongue Freshener when the material becomes worn.

5 Interdental Cleaner (not with all models)

The Interdental Cleaner effectively cleans between the teeth, protects against gum disease and reduces gingivitis. It should be used before brushing.

Break one green cleaner off the base (6) and insert it into the slot in the neck of the white pick holder. Attach it to the handle and turn the appliance on. Depending on which part of your mouth you are cleaning, the pick holder should be adjusted by turning it, so that the blunt side always faces your gums. Guide the cleaner between your teeth and clean systematically from space to space.

We recommend a low speed setting for enhanced control during use. The Interdental Cleaner can be used approximately two to three times until it becomes too soft to effectively fit and clean between the teeth.

Oral-B ProfessionalCare 8000 series replacement brushheads and accessories are available in stores that sell Oral-B products, at the Essentials.com web site and at Braun Service Centers.

Cleaning r
